Reiki Vereniging Cirkel (En)

Reiki Association Circle is one of the oldest and with more than 500 members one of the largest interest groups for Reiki Masters and Reiki practitioners in the Netherlands.
Although the association focuses on Reiki Masters and Reiki trainers, anyone who has followed at least a Reiki 1 course can become a member of the Circle.
The Association focuses on maintaining the Traditional Reiki Usui System of Natural Healing and is very active in promoting and guaranteeing the quality of training.

The importance of a good education

Within the Netherlands, more and more freedom has arisen in training, which shows that there are major differences in quality.
Where in the past it was checked per student whether he had gained sufficient experience to teach, nowadays even students without any treatment experience can become a Reiki Master. As a result, the amount of knowledge that is passed on is becoming less and less, which means that the name of Reiki is at stake.
In addition, it is increasingly difficult for aspiring students to find a Reiki Master who is well trained, has a lot of experience and therefore also teaches well.
In order to better guarantee quality, the Circle Association is currently actively working on creating a register of ‘Recommended Trainers’ and will present it on this site at a later date. This group of trainers guarantees that their courses meet the requirements and thus gives a guarantee to all students.
In order to uphold the name of Reiki and to guarantee the best possible knowledge, the Association believes it is important to draw up clear guidelines and to encourage all members to keep the quality high.
