Casa Tara in Mexico
Reiki Certification Retreat
Join us for a five day Reiki immersion on the coast of Baja, Mexico designed for deep deep learning, hands on practice and intentional self care in a retreat setting that allows and gives space for the work to integrate and land.
Participants may complete Reiki Level 1& 2 Certification or Reiki Level 3 Certification.*
Training is facilitated by Reiki Master Practitioners Leah Harvey and Ellie Lucas. Through years of retreats, trainings, and workshops, we’ve created a certification experience that prioritizes practice and mentorship so you leave feeling confident actually working with Reiki and not just understanding it conceptually.
Our focus is helping you relate to energy in a way that feels natural, embodied, and applicable to everyday life. You’ll leave not only with certification, also feeling more settled, connected, and internally resourced.
Days blend structured training with restorative practices, nourishing meals, and spacious time to take in what this space has to offer.
What is Reiki?
Reiki is an energy practice that works with the body’s natural energetic system, including the chakras, to support balance and harmony. Through intentional hands on or off approach and presence, Reiki helps bring awareness to areas of congestion, depletion, or imbalance, allowing energy to move more freely.People experience Reiki in different ways. Some notice physical relaxation or a sense of settling in the body. Others experience mental clarity, emotional release, or a greater feeling of presence. Sometimes the shifts are subtle, sometimes more noticeable. Over time, practicing Reiki can support greater awareness, grounding, and clarity, becoming a steady tool for yourself in daily life.Our training follows the Usui lineage, developed by Mikao Usui. This system emphasizes simplicity, consistency, and self-practice. We see Reiki as both a personal practice and a way to support others. It’s a skill that can be used for self-care, family support, and professional sessions.This retreat offers an opportunity to learn in a grounded, accessible, and supportive environment where practice, community, and setting all work together.You’ll receive certification materials that support clarity and confidence as a Reiki practitioner, along with continued access to resources for ongoing learning and integration after the retreat.
Learning Reiki on retreat allows the practice to be experienced. Time away from daily routines creates space for deeper integration, reflection, and connection with others on a similar path.

Definitely! We encourage you to come in with a beginner’s mind. It’s like reading the same book more than once. Each time you come back to it you learn or understand it a little more or differently.
