EPISODE 62: MARIE KYOKO MOROHOSHI
Born to Japanese immigrant parents, Marie Kyoko Morohoshi is a sacred activist and queer Nisei (second-generation) Japanese American Reiki Master and Teacher. Her Reiki practice is informed by years of rigorous Zen, Chado (Way of Tea) and Ikebana (Way of Flowers) training she received at an early age.
She has participated in key social justice movements such as Standing Rock, Mauna a Wākea, and Run4Salmon, bringing her healing work to those in need.
Marie is dedicated to training BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and white allies in Reiki, focusing on a holistic, nature-based approach that reconnects students with the practice's shamanic and Buddhist origins. Her unique retreats combine Reiki with Shinto, Shugendo, and Lakota purification rituals—an organic and syncretic approach to reconnecting to our true selves, these practices help prepare any student or seasoned practitioner of Reiki to simply be Reiki.

EPISODE 61: JOJAN JONKER ON HIS BOOK ABOUT TOKIO YOKOI
Jojan L. Jonker is Reiki Master, Independent Scholar in the field of Religious Studies, Autho He worked for many years as an ICT consultant. In 1994, Reiki came on his path, and in 1998 he became Reiki Master. He developed a special interest for new spiritualities and healing. In 2010, he graduated in Interreligious Spirituality (Radboud University Nijmegen), continued in 2011 as an external PhD Candidate, and obtained his doctorate in 2016.

His latest book, Tokio Yokoi, shares research that could make the case to suggest that a Japanese Christian reverend namedTokio Yokoi and not Mikao Usui may have been the progenitor of Reiki.

Here are the links to his book, his website, and a link to our previous chat about his Reiki journey.

Important note: As the host of this podcast, I'm personally keeping an open mind and approaching this with curiosity but do not endorse any specific point of view. I just want to present to you and everyone information that may result interesting and keep you up to date with some of the latest conversations about Reiki history.
