Daylesford Reiki Retreat
June 20-21, 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.

For many Om Reiki students, our retreats are the most transformational of all our events, and 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 heal your past, to tapping into the energy of high-vibrational esoteric symbols, to creating powerful Reiki vortexes, 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.

Discounted retreat accommodation is available at the Boomerang Holiday Ranch in Daylesford for $50 per night. A limited number of single rooms and same-sex twin-share rooms are available, so call Jeremy on 0417 328 457 if you’d like to take up the offer.

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 Learn At This Year's Reiki Retreat

● Esoteric Reiki Symbols. Reiki symbols help us tap into potent – and usually inaccessible – healing frequencies. At this retreat, we will introduce two more esoteric symbols that go beyond those covered in my Reiki Master Level course or other retreats. These symbols will help us add nuance and power to our healing work.

● Reiki for the Past. Do you ever wish you had been given a little more love or support at certain critical periods of your life? Well, now, with the techniques we'll practice at our June retreat, you'll be able to go back in time and give yourself that love and care. Heal the past, and you heal the present. Heal the present, and you give birth to a brighter future.

● Crystal Scrying/Charging. We have a huge collection of crystals at the Om Reiki Centre, and we will learn how to charge these crystals for extra power in our group healing sessions. We will also use them for crystal scrying (yes, the crystals can help us receive messages).

● Hara Power. 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 (including 'hara gazing') for a deeper connection to our clients and more powerful healing.

● Reiki Group Healing. Throughout the retreat, we will do many group healing exercises where we either split up into groups of five 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.

● Forest Meditations. One of the blessings of holding the retreat on our 50-acre property is that we have our very own forest. Throughout the weekend, 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. Once again, held in the heart of our private forest, we will use this cacao ceremony to open our hearts and receive guidance from the wisdom of the cacao tree.

● Reiki and Runes. Runes are back at this retreat, and we will be using them both for rune casting (for insights, guidance and wisdom) and for powerful Reiki healing. Each rune can be used like a Reiki symbol, and at this retreat, we'll be using bind runes (i.e. combined runes) for particularly powerful and specific results.

● Reiki Precepts. The Reiki precepts are one of the key pillars of Usui's healing system. Over the weekend, we will work on these precepts one by one, and you will learn how classical Japanese practitioners originally used them. This is an advanced technique that I don't teach in any of my Reiki courses. But done well, it can help us reclaim vast amounts of energy trapped in our body.

● Reiki Vortex. What happens when you create a Reiki energy vortex and place someone within it? Come along to the retreat, and you'll find out!

● Communing with Reiki Masters. Have you ever wished that you could talk to Usui or Mrs Takata and ask them Reiki questions? At this retreat, we'll practice tapping into their wisdom and energy for answers.

● Reiki for Relationships. Do you have any relationships that you'd like to heal? Maybe with a particular friend or family member? If so, then you'll love the techniques you'll learn. They'll help you to remove old hurts and charge the relationship with positive energy.

● Intuitive Reiki Guidance. Learn to 'listen' to Reiki and its guidance. Learn to let go of ego and become a 'witness' to healing energy that rises up spontaneously when you let go of control and open up to something greater than yourself.

● Reiki Journalling. This is the perfect way to make unconscious intuitive wisdom conscious. It's a simple tool for greater clarity and direction.

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.
