I trust that you have all had a reasonable break and are already settled back into your daily routines. So much was achieved last year that this year will be focused on consolidating the changes.

Who am I kidding? The insurance scheme offered by Reiki NZ is likely to be very different. Thank you to those who answered the online questionnaire. It was the first time we have used the facility to gain feedback which has been used to formulate our insurance scheme requirements. More information will be shared soon.

The main event this year will be the 'Reflections of Reiki Conference' in Christchurch in August. Such an exciting lineup of speakers will make the event worth aiming for. There will also be a wide choice of Reiki retreats to attend and network. I highly recommend booking your air tickets well in advance for such events.

The Accredited Reiki Practitioner (ARP) programme is going to rapidly evolve and crystallise this year. We will need to balance the action-orientated Year of Fire Horse energy with a long-term practical vision. There was a five-year strategic-planning meeting held five years ago that set us on the path we are on today.

This year's strategic planning meeting later in the year is likely to be equally significant. If you have any intuitive thoughts or inspirations about Reiki NZ and its mission for the future over the next six months please reach out, discuss it with others and let us know. All suggestions are welcome.

In these times, with so much going on, I just love how Reiki is in every living thing. There are no divisions. The life force represents pure love for all. Who wouldn't want to be an agent for the life force? Count me in to be a part of such a wonderful community of like-minded souls. Thank you for being a part of it too.
