How it all began:
2017, after an exiting first year of the Global Reiki Webinar Project, Rachel Goldberg and Phyllis Lei Furumoto put out an invitation to the Global Reiki Community to gather in person. Phyllis described a circle of chairs where all of us across this global community who had been connecting so deeply online could be toghether in person, making eye contact across the circle, holding hands, and experiencing the depth and learning that comes, when we come together to share physical presence and unite the energy and effort of a collective vision to do so. Phyllis asked: "is one of those chairs for you?"
After the Global Reiki Gathering in 2018, when Phyllis and Rachel invited Ursulai to join the organizing team, the idea grew to have this circle of chairs
