NEW ILR802 Reiki 2nd Degree
4 sessions, 8 hours
In your continued journey in Usui Reiki Second Degree, healers
will move further into the deeper dimensions of healing with Reiki.
Students will learn about distance healing, checking and balancing
the Chakra and Aura and additional Reiki sacred symbols, their
form, their sound, and their meaning which will enable them to
consciously direct Reiki energy through their minds to achieve
specific results. The practice of healing through the second degree
can be profound, as it is considered a quantum leap forward on one’s
spiritual path indicating a soul’s desire to be of service to others.
Reiki second degree consists of three instruction classes and an
attunement class. In order to receive your attunement, you must
be present for all three instruction classes. This is a certification
class. In order to receive your certification you must complete the
attunement. Students who received their First Degree through a
different master and wish to take this class must bring either their
closing certificate or a letter from the Reiki Master who attuned them.

NEW ILR592 World Religion Series:
Scriptural Texts of the World’s
Major Religions
5 sessions, 10 hours
Most religious traditions in the West have a very long-standing
practice of writing, studying, and meditating on written scriptures.
Judaism, Christianity and Islam have deep commitments to the
role of authoritative texts in revealing who the Divine is and what
ultimate reality communicates and requires of their respective
adherents. In what we could call the East, Asia, and Southeast Asia,
there are many written scriptures in use but often their use and
function are very different from the West. So what are the official
written scriptures, how did they come about, what role do they
play in the lives of those who profess faith in them, and what is
the wisdom they offer to both adherents and non-believers? We’ll
examine five world religions in this course including Judaism,
Christianity, Islam, Indigenous Traditions, and Taoism.
Instructor: Rev. Dr. Tim Dissmeyer is retired clergy and current
adjunct faculty in world religions, with 10 years of field experience

to religion and spirituality continues to inspire ILR students.
