*grins*

The Reiki workshop went VEEEEEEEERY well. It started at 7:35-ish, was scheduled to go till 9.... 9 came and we were just starting the attunements.... got a few people who had to leave out of the way, then did healings and attunements the rest of the time... 10:38 and we were still hanging out, talking, and coming down from the collective high... I think if I hadn't gotten up to leave for home, nobody else would have even stirred from there for hours yet. It was received amazingly well, by everyone. And some people are already talking about wanting to get higher attunements at a future date. (All but one of them got level 1 Usui attunements, though without the standard dogma that it restricts you to doing certain things and not others, I used it more as an energy scale than anything else. Thato got a level 3, since he's already worked with Qi Gong and other forms of energywork to the point where I wasn't even sure he'd feel a level 1 attunement as anything different from his normal energetic state. He probably could have handled even more than that, and he's interested in taking it further at a future date, but everyone wanted to ease into it as much as possible. 'sides, Ri frowns on it when I joke about attuning people directly to Imara from the start. ;-)

Also... that Calling may be working, based on some conversations I had tonight. More later as things develop.
