REIKI REGULATORY WORKING GROUP (RRWG)
O
The Reiki Association is participating in discussions about the regulation of Reiki public practice. The minutes of the latest meetings can be seen at the Reiki Regulatory Working Group website: www.reikiregulation.org.uk.
Who We Are
The Reiki Regulatory Working Group (RRWG) was set up by representatives of a number of Reiki organisations in collaboration with the Prince of Wales’s Foundation for Integrated Health. The RRWG provides a forum for the exchange of views, concerns, standards and best practice with the intention of “speaking with one voice” in working towards Voluntary Self Regulation of Reiki and creation of the single UK Register of Professional Reiki Practitioners.
The group is made up mainly of practitioner representatives, but with up to 5 lay people with specific skills and expertise. Representatives of Reiki organisations with a minimum of 100 members are invited to participate directly – it was felt that smaller organisations could be represented under the umbrella of the larger bodies, but this remains under review to ensure inclusivity.
We invite other Reiki organisations or individual Reiki Practitioners and Teachers to make contact with the RRWG on info@reikiregulation.org.uk, if you have any queries.
