Why you should come on a Reiki and Meditation retreat
Well for a start, you’re going to spend some great, quality time with a whole bunch of like-minded people – all of them into healing just as much as you are!
You’re also going to get to learn a lot about yourself and the hidden potential within you that could transform your life on many levels.
What about the chance to dump the chaos and just get away and learn how to make the world a better place by being in service?
Then, of course, just engaging in a deep spiritual practice has its own rewards.
Deepening your connection to Reiki with this powerful Reiki level 2 training and diving into some serious meditation practices is going to bring you a lot of clarity around what has been holding you back in your life.
Stressed? Anxious? Overwhelmed? A double hit of Reiki and meditation is definitely going to help you fix that.
And of course, there is the personal healing. This is really powerful and transformational stuff. Reiki combined with meditation is in a league of its own when it comes to deep healing. Prepare to have your life expanded.
And at the end of all that, you're going to be a fully certified Professional Reiki Practitioner (and don't forget the FREE Advanced Practitioner training after the retreat).
And we've managed to pack in two great excursions. One is an unforgettable meditative desert experience through the untamed wilderness of Sinai, with refreshments and lunch and the option of going to the summit of Mt Matamir. And then there is the beauty and splendour of St Catherine's Monastery. St Catherine's is worth a trip to the Red Sea coast on its own. This is one of the most iconic religious and spiritual locations in Egypt.
But what about Reiki Level 1?
During the retreat, we're going to be plunging into Reiki level 2, because this is the Professional Practitioner level and it's a LOT deeper and more expansive than level 1.
Of course, to attend the retreat and take level 2, you must have level 1 first (and it must be in the lineage of Reiki Jin Kei Do). It's sort of obvious really. And if you do have Reiki level 1, just go ahead and sign up for the retreat. I'm looking forward to taking you on this very powerful journey into the heart of the Reiki system.
But what if you want to attend and you haven't taken level 1 yet?
We've got that covered!
Choose from three dates to take your Level 1 training before you attend the retreat:
In-person at NutraHealth in Heliopolis on the evenings of 19th and 20th November (right before the retreat starts).
or
Online on either the 4th and 5th of October or the 15th and 16th of November.
In the Reiki level 1 training, you're going to get all the basics that you need to equip you for the much more intensive Reiki level 2 on the retreat!
Reiki & Meditation: What are we going to cover on the retreat?
We’ll be covering all the material in a traditional Reiki level 2 class. You’ll learn all about the Reiki symbols and how you can use them to enhance your own life and the lives of others.
The Reiki level 2 attunement will amplify your connection to universal energy and allow you to effectively engage in distant Reiki for yourself, for past situations and for future events.
You’ll also learn how to use mantra as an aid to healing, and meditation. When it comes to hands-on treatments, we’re really going to power that up by introducing you to working with marma points – this is a VERY powerful method that will radically change the way you give treatments in the future!
By the end of all of this, you’ll be qualified to practice Reiki professionally! One of my colleagues in the States is currently charging $195 for every distant Reiki treatment she does!
We’re going to be developing the meditation aspects of the Reiki system very powerfully. We’re going to be doing some pair work where you will be sitting in meditation whilst receiving a Reiki treatment at the same time. If you never experienced this before, this alone is going to blow you away!
We’re going to practice some symbol meditations and some classic mindfulness practices that all serve to enhance the power of your engagement with Reiki. To power-shift you through the 2nd Level detox, you’ll also be taught a powerful practice called Tonglen which will accelerate the detox process and help you get rid of whatever is blocking you from being the best you possibly can be!
If you have been to meditation workshops before, I guarantee that you have never experienced anything like this. This is a unique approach that I rarely teach to others, but it’s going to change everything in your practice.

Steve Gooch
I have been teaching Reiki and meditation for the past 27 years across the UK, Egypt, Cyprus, Jordan, and Eastern Europe with many students in the US and other countries. I also wrote three groundbreaking books on the subject, with my first book, ‘Reiki Jin Kei Do: The Way of Compassion and Widom’ being the standard textbook for Reiki Jin Kei Do across the world. I am also the lineage spokesperson and was the founder of both Reiki Jin Kei Do International and Reiki Jin Kei Do UK. The former was the world’s first lineage-based global forum, and the latter was the world’s first lineage-based national organisation. I was also the founding editor of Reiki Jin Kei Do UK’s quarterly journal, ‘Focus’. My training in meditation was through Breathworks UK, which is the UK’s lead body in the research and application of mindfulness in healthcare settings.
As a self-development coach, I have worked with celebrities and people in the arts and media in Egypt and other parts of the Middle East as well as Formula 1 racing drivers and leading fashion houses in Saudi Arabia. I’ve appeared as a speaker at several international conferences in the field of Reiki and meditation.

Frequently asked questions
What are the arrangements if I am flying into Egypt to attend? If you are a foreign national wishing to attend the retreat, please contact me in the first instance so that airport transfers can be arranged and the fee for the retreat can be provided in £s sterling.
Is the retreat suitable for people with mobility problems? The retreat is suitable for those who might need to rely on walking or mobility assistance in the form of canes or walking sticks, though care should be taken on the Desert Experience excursion, and you may want to opt out of this. The serene setting provides ample opportunity for mindful walking, which should be done at a measured and slow pace in any case, and practices like guided meditation sessions will also be included in the retreat. Our retreat location offers gentle, spiritual meditation sessions in beautiful, tranquil surroundings that are sure to enhance your overall experience.
Do I need any experience with Reiki or meditation to attend? The retreat is open to people of all levels of experience but do remember you must have Reiki Jin Kei Do level 1 before attending the retreat. The good news is that you’ll be able to take this either in person or online prior to the retreat, so you’ll be fully equipped for the training that will go on by the sea in Dahab. And during the Reiki level 1 training, you will get all the meditation guidance you might need if you have never engaged with meditation before.
What makes this retreat stand out? You’ll be guided on your Reiki journey by me, benefitting from my many years of experience in the field on the international stage, backed up by the extensive research that I’ve done for my three books on Reiki and meditation, which provide a unique and in-depth approach to the subject that is simply not available anywhere else. I’ll also be guiding you through all of the meditations giving you the opportunity to dive deep into a state of profound peace and stillness and linking this state back into your experience of working with the Reiki energy. This is going to be a unique blend of spirituality and personal growth. The stunning landscapes will serve as a perfect backdrop, enhancing your journey into deeper self-awareness and tranquillity.
