It is one day a week, somehow it is not the same as my experience with Reiki 1, that was a weekend in the Reiki Masters own home, she had had her conservatory made into a healing room, the atmosphere was so calming with with very relaxing Japanese music , essential oils, it made it feel very symbolic. We each bought some food , there was six of us and it was so much more personal. By contrast the college room was very hot, there was about 20 of us, there was noises of the other courses going on and it was totally claustrophobic for me at least.
I would advise anyone interested in finding out about Reiki to look in their library or go to a website

I don't know how much that is true but it is generally what happens, though I did wonder today
