Licensed massage therapist Mimi Rhys, of Phoenix Healing Arts, in Brighton, will present a Shamballa 1 Reiki class from 6 to 8:30 p.m. on December 13. Rhys says that the class will include a foot attunement to heal the Earth.

“Shamballa Reiki is based on Usui Reiki and is the next step beyond that,” says Rhys. “It also has more symbols and a higher vibrational energy, and it’s simple to use. People can be attuned to Shamballa Reiki for less cost than Usui Reiki and still be as effective in healing.”

Rhys notes that her Shamballa 1 Reiki classes are ongoing, with future dates to be announced for those who cannot attend in December.

Cost: $60; due December 10, payable to Mimi Rhys. Location: Phoenix Healing Arts, 21 Glenmont Rd., Brighton. Class is limited to six; early registration is recommended. For more information, call 617-413-7174 or visit PhoenixHealingArts.net.
