Home much does the environment affect your ability to relax and learn?
I have offered sessions and trainings in many settings, from hospitals to horse farms. No matter where I am, I feel the work is the same. I wonder though, how much does the space make a difference to the enjoyment and learning experience of students and clients.
What is your favorite setting in which to ‘Relax and Learn?’ This poll only takes a few moments. Your feedback is much appreciated and will determine the location of future classes and sessions.

The Reiki (Kyogi) Principles –
Today Only …
Let Go of Anger,
Let go of Worry,
With Thankfulness,
Work Diligently (on one’s self)
Be Kind to (Self and) Others.
—From Founder of Usui Reiki Ryohō, USUI Mikao Sensei
(B. August 15, 1865 – D. March 9, 1926; as written on his memorial stone.)
Photos here are of places where sessions, classes and retreats have been/will be offered. The first photo was taken at the North Shore Medical Center, in the hospital. No matter where I have offered reiki sessions people report “feeling relaxed.” So I wonder, how much do the aesthetics of the setting matter? What are your thoughts?
