Daylesford Reiki Retreat
Jan. 3-4, 2026

The Om Reiki winter retreat is open to anyone who already has studied Reiki 1 or above.

During our time together, you will make new like-minded friends, experience powerful group healing and meditation, and leave invigorated in body, mind and spirit.

The retreat is also the perfect place to learn new healing skills that will assist you both immediately and in the years to come.

The Start of Something New

For many Om Reiki students, our retreats are the most transformational of all our events. Something special happens when a group of dedicated healers come together.

This retreat, Om Reiki founder Jeremy O'Carroll will teach an innovative set of techniques and healing skills to boost your Reiki confidence, clear blocks, enhance clarity and supercharge your energy system.

From using Reiki to feel more centered and grounded, to connecting to your Higher Self, to achieving goals, this will be our most transformative retreat yet.

So if your intuition is stirring at the idea of joining us, then sign up. Places are limited, and our retreats always fill up.

Same-sex shared accommodation is available at the venue for $50/night. (If you are quick, we also have a small amount of single rooms for those who need them.)

To find out all of the details, scroll down this webpage or call Jeremy on 0417 328 457. He'd love to tell you more.

Why Retreats Have an Advantage Over Normal Reiki Courses

In a lot of Reiki courses, participants have no previous energy work experience. As a result, it takes time to train them and build a powerful group dynamic.

But at our retreat, things are easy because everyone already has some energy work experience.

Everyone has learned at least Reiki 1, so the group starts at an energetically high place, and from there on, it is simply a question of amplifying this energy.

So if you understand the power of working in a group; if you understand the kind of powerful changes that occur from even a short period of exposure to a group with aligned energy, then you’ll recognize just how transformative a Reiki retreat like ours can be.

Techniques We Will Cover in Our 2026 Reiki Retreat

● Esoteric Reiki Symbols. Reiki symbols help us tap into potent – and usually inaccessible – healing frequencies. At this retreat, we will work with two esoteric symbols and go beyond those covered in my Reiki master level course. We'll also look at techniques to amplify the power of traditional symbols.

● Reiki for the Past. Heal the past. Enjoy the present. At this retreat we'll work on distance healing techniques to heal the past (including, potentially, past lives)

● Crystal Healing. We have a huge collection of crystals at the Om Reiki Centre, and we will use these to build crystal grids for both innovative and powerful meditation and group healing sessions.

● Energy Clairsentience. Here we will work on feeling energy – even from a distance. This will help you to sense subtle energetic currents both in your environment and around people. This was once exclusive to my Reiki Masters, but I've kept it under wraps for years now, so you're going to love it.

● Power Up the Hara. The hara (located roughly a few centimetres below the navel) is arguably the most important energy centre in traditional Japanese Reiki. At the retreat we will do a series of fresh techniques to amplify its energy, so that you can both channel more healing energy and stay more emotionally balanced.

● Reiki for Goals. New Year, new aspirations. Use the energy of Reiki, the power of connecting to your inner 'ki', and visualization to supercharge and manifest your goals.

● Reiki and the Aura. More often than not, Reiki is done by laying the hands gently on the body. But working on the 7 layers of the auric field is perfect for working on chronic or psychosomatic issues (i.e. those with an emotional or psychological origin), and the power and subtlety of this technique will surprise you! Indeed, each auric layer contains its own surprises!

● Reiki Group Healing. Throughout the retreat, we will do many group healing exercises where we either split up into groups of 5 or energetically sync together as an entire group to build vast amounts of energy. And this is the beauty of a retreat – you can leverage potent group energy for transformation, clearing and healing.

● Reiki Toning. Sound is power. Reiki is power. Put them together and you get an energetic tsunami. Welcome to the world of Reiki toning!

● Forest Meditations. One of the blessings of holding the retreat on our 100-acre property is that we have our very own forest. Throughout the retreat, we will take the opportunity to energetically connect and merge with nature – something which, for many people, is the highlight of our retreats.

● Cacao Ceremony. After the success of last year's cacao ceremony, we will once again connect to the energy and wisdom of cacao, the cacao tree, and the land it grows in.

● Reiki Grounding Ceremony. One of the great things about the retreat is our ability to enjoy nature and connect to it. Here we will do a Reiki grounding exercise out in nature to connect to and harmonize with the energy of the earth.

● Working with the 'Great Bright Light'. The Reiki Master level symbol translates as 'The Great Bright Light', and although we won't be working specifically with this symbol, we will use meditations and group healing to immerse ourselves in this 'light'. This will flood us with energy and enhance our intuition and clarity. So the perfect boost for the new year.

Why I Love Retreats

Each year I have the fortune to learn incredible things both from many great teachers and experience.

Although I am constantly revising and improving my regular courses, I am still – to an extent – restricted in what I teach. Levels 1, 2 & 3 Reiki, for instance, all have certain fundamental things that must be taught, so there isn’t so much time for all the new great stuff I have been learning.

That is why I love retreats.

Retreats give me the chance to teach everything I have learned over the past year, to teach my most up-to-date and advanced techniques.

Retreats are also a fabulous chance to make amazing new friends – friends who are on a similar journey as you, friends who really get what you are aspiring towards.

Retreats are more personal than regular meditation and Reiki courses and they provide a greater opportunity to chat and mingle and really get to know the other participants.

At retreats, friendships are often made that can last a lifetime.

Retreats also give you a chance to get away from your daily routine, to unwind and fully immerse yourself in ‘spiritual energy’.

They are an opportunity to get away for an entire weekend, to travel to a beautiful, energy-charged environment, to reset the dial and begin afresh.

For many, retreats are a watershed moment – that moment when their life can redirect and start flowing down a path of greater alignment with the person they really are.

Often we get so caught up with making a living, with doing what needs to be done, that it can be hard to change – even when we want to make changes.

Sometimes all we need is something to interrupt our regular patterns for us to be able to take flight into a new direction.

Many people only change when Fate ‘hits them with a stick’, when their life gets so miserable that they are finally desperate enough to do what it takes to change.

But it doesn’t need to be like that.

We can be proactive.

We can change from a place of strength rather than despair.

Our retreats aim to cultivate the kind of energetically charged, inspirational environment that will help you make the changes you want to make without having to go through a period of suffering beforehand.

Better still, our retreats are always fun and full of laughter. Spirituality should be enjoyed and reveled in. It doesn’t need to be heavy and serious.

When you are passionate and living in alignment with your dreams and Higher Self then you will naturally do what’s best for you.

Being serious doesn’t give you the energy needed for change. Passion does. Exuberance does.

Those are the states of being we cultivate on our retreats.

Using innovative meditations, you will access new energy levels as you connect more deeply to your inner self.
