Chujiro Hayashi – sensei
Every Reiki practitioner has learned his name in the Lineage starting from Mikao Usui. He is the second bearer in our Reiki Lineage, that of Usui Shiki Ryoho. He was close to the source, regarding learning from his own sensei; Mikao Usui.
Hayashi has been very important to Reiki as it has spread throughout the world. All of us have come to know and practice Reiki thanks to him. Yet he is little mentioned in the Usui Shiki Ryoho, U.S.R.
As in a “family constellation,” it is important to see and honor each equally. That didn’t happen to him as much with us.
To bring balance, we asked Paul Mitchell to better introduce us to Hayashi-sensei. Showing and honoring his place and function in a Constellation.
Therefore, the theme of this Festival is also “Giving Honor to Chujiro Hayashi” as an important carrier in the Lineage of USR.
Paul Mitchell – Head of Discipline
Our chief guest is Paul Mitchell from the US.
Paul Mitchell is a regular guest speaker at our Reiki Festival. From the beginning, he was a member of the Office of the Grandmaster, OGM, in the position of Head of Discipline. Along with Grandmaster Phyllis Lei Furumoto, Paul led the Reiki community for many years in the OGM.
Following the passing of Grandmaster Phyllis Furumoto in 2019, Johannes Reindl has become part of the OGM. As the fifth Lineage carrier. Then also Joyce Winough.
Paul Mitchell will speak at the Reiki Festival about Chujiro Hayashi-sensei, about his great value to Reiki in the world and as an important bearer in the Lineage. Furthermore, he will lead us in an experiential connection in a modified “Constellation”.

Fred and Edna, here in an old photo with Phyllis Furumoto, performed with great success in the very first Reiki Festival, also in Vianen in 1998. This year they are also participating again, active and substantive as always. And dedicated to Reiki.
All in all, this will be a Festival day you won’t lightly forget.
