Thank you to everyone who has renewed their membership using the new systems now in place. The transition has been remarkably smooth behind the scenes, and our volunteer Board members have noticed a significant reduction in workload during what is usually our busiest period. Please remember to download your membership certificate featuring the beautiful winning design by Fleur Hintze.

Our insurance scheme has also undergone a major transformation. Details are available to members on the website. It is still early days and we will be monitoring progress closely through the monthly reports we receive from BizCover.

Several members have now begun the application process for the Accredited Reiki Practitioner (ARP) certification. Alongside this we are exploring the ACC Accreditation process both for Reiki as a modality and for individual practitioners. This remains one of our key goals for the year.

I received some lovely feedback about the Autumn Issue of Reiki News including one comment calling it 'the best one yet'. Feedback like this is always appreciated.

I look forward to connecting with many of you at events throughout the rest of the year in particular the AGM via Zoom on 19 August and the biennial 'Reflections of Reiki' Conference in Christchurch on 29 and 30 August. Events offer wonderful opportunities to connect with the wider Reiki family across New Zealand.

Regards
