EPISODE 67: SHIKOKU PILGRIMAGE PART 1

In this opening episode, we set foot on Japan’s legendary 88-temple route: the Shikoku Pilgrimage. Guided by the spirit of Kōbō Daishi, founder of Shingon Buddhism, pilgrims walk through misty mountains, quiet villages, and visit temples to cleanse and reconnect to their inner light. 

I am hoping to take you there and experience some of what I lived in my ten days visiting temples and attending rituals.

EPISODE 66: ANNUAL CATCH UP WITH FRANS STIENE 

Originally from the Netherlands, Frans Stiene is the co-founder of the International House of Reiki with Bronwen Logan, with whom he co-wrote the critically acclaimed books The Japanese Art of Reiki, The Reiki Sourcebook, A-Z of Reiki Pocketbook, and Your Reiki Treatment: How to Get the Most Out of It. Looking to understand the context in which Mikao Usui created the Reiki system, Frans traveled to Japan to train with Buddhist priests. These teachings completely changed his understanding of Reiki practice and fueled three new books: The Inner Heart of Reiki: Rediscovering Your True Self, Reiki Insights, and The Way of Reiki: The Inner Teachings of Mikao Usui. 

Known as the teacher of Reiki teachers, Frans currently travels the world (in person and virtually) to teach and help other Reiki practitioners move forward on their spiritual path.

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.
