Learn directly from the founder of Plant Spirit Reiki
Plant Spirit Reiki is a unique healing modality and way of connecting to the green world created by Fay Johnstone after over two decades of working with Reiki, plants, shamanic practice and the healing intelligence of nature.
On this workshop you’ll experience the philosophy, practices and subtle teachings exactly as they were intended, guided by the person who developed them.
Fay’s book, Plant Spirit Reiki: Energy Healing with the Elements of Nature, has introduced thousands of readers around the world to this fresh and inspiring approach. This weekend gives you the opportunity to experience those teachings in person through guided practice, discussion and shared experience.You’ll be able to receive guidance that goes way beyond what can be learned from the book.
I found The Plant Spirit Reiki course very enlightening. Fay’s style was relaxed and guided to what each of us required. I also loved the Qigong, treatments and meditation sessions. I left feeling very inspired and full of ideas of how to incorporate the essence of plants more into my work and daily life.

What is Plant Spirit Reiki?
Plant Spirit Reiki is a gentle, heart-centred practice that weaves together the healing energy of Reiki with a conscious relationship with the living intelligence of the natural world.
Rather than seeing plants simply as something to admire or use, you’ll learn to connect with them as wise, supportive allies. Through this relationship, you’ll deepen your intuition, enrich your Reiki practice and experience a greater sense of joy, belonging and connection with the natural world.
Whether you’re a Reiki practitioner, a gardener or someone who feels called by nature, Plant Spirit Reiki invites you to experience the Earth in a new way. Your garden, the trees, the wild plants around you become more than a backdrop—they become companions on your healing journey.
At its heart, Plant Spirit Reiki is a reminder that we are not separate from nature. When we reconnect with the living world, we nurture ourselves, deepen our sense of purpose and become part of the healing our planet so deeply needs.
As a Reiki practitioner who has recently moved to the countryside after 50 years in the city, I was very interested in Plant Spirit Reiki. I was hoping it would help me to get in contact with my local environment and learn ways to get deeper into nature. I was not disappointed. In fact, Plant Spirit Reiki is fizzing with ideas to bring Reiki and plants/nature together. I would recommend it to anyone interested in bringing in spiritual ideas and practices to their love of the natural world and Reiki.”
