The Reiki Alliance invites you to the 44th Annual Conference
April 23rd –29th, 2026 • De Beukenhof, Biezenmortel, The Netherlands
Inner Peace – Global Impact
Holding Community in Kindness & Reiki
Welcome
Join us at De Beukenhof, a peaceful former monastery surrounded by gardens, forest, and dunes in the Dutch countryside. Together, we’ll continue building a global community rooted in kindness, connection, Reiki practice, and exploration.
De Beukenhof offers simple but comfortable rooms, healthy meals, and inspiring shared spaces such as a church, chapel, and beautiful gardens. Our private café/bar will be open for social evenings filled with music, laughter, and community connection.
This year, we will continue last year’s work – going deeper in our practices and opening and expanding into the world by focusing on connection, daily practice, and exploration.
Once again, we will welcome Reiki I and II students alongside Masters throughout the entire conference-retreat. Participants will join shared daily treatments, group sessions, and communal activities designed to encourage growth and togetherness.
After the wonderful experience at the last conference, we will be using Open Space Technology again this year.
Special guests:
Johannes Reindl (Lineage Bearer), Paul Mitchell, and Joyce Winough.
