There has been a Reiki Festival almost every year since 1998.

Below are reactions from visitors to previous Festivals.

2024

The Reiki Festival 2024 was wonderful.
Such a timely idea to focus on Hayashi.

I have to say it was the most intense large group weekend Reiki gathering I have ever attended and I deeply appreciated it.

Just for today… ripple in the water What a wonderful day at the Reiki Festival in Lunteren. Enjoyed the fine energy and playful lightness I felt.
Also grateful for the beautiful inner processes in my own Reiki family.
Being together in connection.
Thanks to the good organization.

The Reiki Festival last Saturday was warm, special and very inspiring.
I had an open heart all day and longer.
What a wonderful feeling!
Reiki Twente

Went to the Reiki Festival on Saturday and 2 things that made me enjoy the day.
First of all to give Reiki to 50 people with 150 people releases an energy that can hardly be imagined.
That’s really great.
Second is meeting Phyllis Furumoto: a woman who is in the middle of life, looks like any other “normal” person, with a life experience she shared with us that endorsed that. Super.
Jan Willem Barneveld

Was a wonderful day, this Reiki Festival and also very special to have met Phyllis.
What an authentic wise woman!
Gambheera van der Post

We gathered to share Reiki, exchange experiences and experience and hear Phyllis Furumoto speak.
Thank you to all who attended.
Thank you Phyllis, Rolf and Li-Li Holm and all the volunteers!

Home again after a fabulous day, thank you so much, Rolf and Lili, but especially Phyllis, of course, for this very special experience!
It would have been perfect if Inger Droog could have been present, but I can assure you, you were there, Inger, in my heart for one and I am sure in many many other hearts as well!!!

Celebrating 30 years of Reiki in the Netherlands with my own initiating master Phyllis Furumoto and 12 of my own students!
What a gift!
Thank you all for this beautiful day and your passion for Reiki.

Yes, sure, and then the bigger Reiki outings I had been looking forward to for weeks were just over….
It was a big international group! Lots of singing, a nice get-together and the arrival of Phyllis….
It was a truly immersive party!

Reactions after the Festival workshop, “Walking the Labyrinth”.

Long term
First of all, I want to thank you for this great workshop.
The labyrinth was new to me, I had never walked this before.
A whole new world opened up for me.
I got the chance to go deeper into the Area of the Second Degree.
That too was a whole new experience, where I can still learn a lot.
Especially in the long run.
The Blessing felt very familiar and yet again very strange. Frank

Labyrinth
It was a very special experience to walk the Labyrinth with a group of Reiki friends.
The creator made it with a lot of love, so powerful and beautiful were the green lines.
Blessing.
For me, the Blessing was a short but wonderful initiation.
The excitement of what was to come was exactly the same as I was initiated with 1st and 2nd degree Reiki.
I did not feel very different after the Blessing, although it was special to receive it from Li-Li.
The Area of the Second Degree
I found this section extremely interesting, that there is still so much we don’t know!
I was greatly surprised that the Reiki masters in particular found the Second Degree most fascinating or important.
While sending to “the presence,” I saw images of Mrs. Takata smiling and having so much fun.

Moved
Walking a Labyrinth is a special experience in itself.
Walking it while exploring our relationship with the second degree symbols was a unique experience.
This weekend was meant to explore the area of the second degree with each other and share our experiences with it.
I was very impressed with the way we did this work with each other.
The depth we achieved and the willingness to explore and share touched and moved me.
The opportunity to receive a Blessing, whenever you wanted, was also very special.

Sacred
The April 2018 Reiki Weekend was with a very diverse group.
People with many years of Reiki and people and those who were still young in the practice came together.
The strength of the group, the Labyrinth and Reiki made it an intense weekend.
A lot happened in the group and with me personally.
I also found sharing as a witness and sharing my intention with a witness a very important element.
Actually, I found that sharing the most important thing… sharing with another means acknowledging what is going on inside you.
The Area of the Second Degree is “sacred” and very personal and powerful to enter with each other.
That space I experience with it is infinite. Words fail me.
The Blessing felt like a rain of light and a force that moves, inspires and supports me in my next step.

Spinal vertebra
During the first Reiki treatment, there was a small shift of a vertebra.
I was like oh what is that but I didn’t pay any more attention to it.
The labyrinth was great for me, while I was walking the labyrinth I was brought back to my pain from 2004, very bizarre nerve pain dragging from my left leg.
At the second Reiki exchange there was another shift of the spine but this time really hard, but !.. it felt really good, it was just something that had come loose.
Walking the second labyrinth I felt very strong and carried.
Back at home I had a blockage of the intestines, this was worse than giving birth.
But well together with the intention of the second degree that it does not have to hurt, I have managed to let go of what has been released.
Especially my age of 11 years has been very hectic and sad. Blessing thanks for this dear Li-Li was super.
Hopefully see you next time I’m really looking forward to it.

Brotherhood
It was wonderful to immerse myself in the Reiki energy for an entire weekend.
Because we worked with the symbols, the energy was even more intense than usual.
I found it liberating to be able to work with that openly.
Every time it is special to notice how Reiki dissolves differences and creates brotherhood.
Walking the Labyrinth was a special experience, it made me very happy.
The second time, an old pain point was touched.
Not intense but it was special that the blessing I received afterwards moved me immediately.
I was immediately allowed to receive healing on it and felt that it was good as it was.

Force Field
Going the Labyrinth is very special every time, whatever intention you choose, you always experience an insight, idea or feeling!
The force field is so strong that the energy can be felt, it fulfills you!
Really very refreshing to give the symbols some extra attention!
The short questions and answers about the symbols gave insight into what they mean to fellow Reiki practitioners!Treatments with the symbols, however different they were talked about, are fantastic!!!
The fact that the workshop was for 2nd graders and Masters allowed for more depth!
The Blessing was for me a rest, time and space to be completely immersed in the energy of Reiki!
Feel the holiness, experience it and let the blessing flow in from the Universe!
I feel strengthened and powerful!
