The Heart of Reiki: Love, Healing, and Connection
with Cynthia Lamb Faust & Amber Devine
Master Time
Traditionally, on the second weekend in August, Reiki practitioners from around the world gather on the sacred lands of Breitenbush Hot Springs in the Cascade Mountains of Oregon to share Reiki in a lively and diverse international community. For many in the community who return year after year, the Gathering is a joyful homecoming.
Since Breitenbush Hot Springs' extreme loss during the 2020 fires, we've worked tirelessly to find a space for our community to meet in person. While they continue their rebuilding process, there is still limited space available to host our large groups in a way that is accessible to all of our community members. Breitenbush is our home and we look forward to the day when our community can return to the sacred lands there.
Last year we met for the first time 'off property' at Menucha Retreat and Conference Center. Based upon positive feedback from our community we decided to return to Menucha again this year. Due to their schedule, however, we have moved our meeting dates to earlier in the summer. We hope that this will help with heat-related issues and allergies many have experiences over the past few years.
The Master program is filled with inspiring talks from our guest speakers, large and small group discussions, group table Reiki and partner Reiki sessions, free time, stories, singing, laughter, hugs, and a few tears when we say goodbye until next year. We also help set the energy for the Weekend Gathering as we come together as Masters and sit in Reiki for three days.

Accommodations
Accommodations are simple. We will again be in the Wright Hall building which has a combination of semi-private rooms and bunk rooms. We have additional lodging optins this year, which will be announce soon. Bedding will be provided, though if you'd like your own personal affects for greater comfort you are welcome to bring them. There will be a few opportunities for locals to attend as day-commuters, returning home for the night. Arrival and Departure Times TBD Free Time Activities Enjoy playing in the outdoor pool, relaxing on the property, or walking the beautiful trails surrounding the property! Volunteer Opportunities It takes many hands and warm hearts to make the Gathering a success. Parking lot greeters welcome participants as they arrive. Cabin Blessing Angels bless the cabins and prepare the space of our cozy home away from home. Room Angels arrange our Gathering space in the lodge, setting up chairs and Reiki tables. And many more opportunities! Please consider lending your talents and select the designated check box on the online registration form if you wish to volunteer, and you will be contacted by our Volunteer Coordinator. |
