Usui Shiki Ryoho Masters' Intensive
Usui One
with Phyllis Furumoto and Paul Mitchell
1-5 February 2017
 Green Valley AZ USA
The Usui I and II Intensives began in 1993, after a group of masters from The Reiki Alliance asked Phyllis and Paul if they could describe the system that Hawayo Takata taught.  They both found that they could not articulate the system in language but decided to offer the Intensives to see if "Reiki would teach them" how to articulate the teachings passed to them by Hawayo Takata.  The first Intensive was held at the Reiki Mandala Retreat Center, Wettenbostel Germany, in January of 1993.  

Later in 1993, Phyllis wrote the article for her newsletter outlining the system of Hawayo Takata by describing the 4 Aspects and 9 Elements.  This allowed for deeper understanding of the system itself and its relationship to other forms of Reiki practice that were emerging.  Paul and Phyllis have used the Intensives as a way of accessing information they received from Hawayo Takata and the input from all the masters who have attended the Intensives to further refine this articulation of the system.

From this beginning, hundreds of masters have attended Usui One. The Masters who have attended Usui One have come from all lineages and forms of practice.  Their one common interest is in learning the essence of Hawayo Takata's teachings.  This is an invitation to join the Usui One in Green Valley Arizona, just south of Tucson in February of 2017.  

Arrival:  by 5:00 pm February 1 for dinner and a session in the evening
Departure:  Sunday Feburary 5 after breakfast (no sessions on this day)

Cost:  $1250 USD includes your bed in a two bed- room, meals and breaks, the facilitation of the Intensive, operational expenses as well as Spanish and/or Russian Interpretation.
