Are you looking for a truly inspiring speaker for your next event?
Someone who is experienced and knowledgeable about subjects you and your organisation dream of integrating into your daily lives?
Both Frans and Bronwen Stiene, founders of the International House of Reiki, with over 18 years of combined experience as speakers and teachers, can talk to your organisation on numerous topics related to the Mind, Body and Spirit sector.
In fact, the International Dermal Institute, an organisation who has booked the International House of Reiki in both Melbourne and Sydney, stated that the talk had been 'Outstanding and thoroughly enjoyed by all".
Ella Bache wrote "Frans Stiene was contracted to deliver a two day Reiki 1 workshop to our key therapists at Ella Bache. Everyone was very impressed with the delivery of these workshops and with Frans’s ability to relate the concepts without excluding people with no background in such subjects. I received a lot of positive feedback from all the attendees, with so many of them stating what a valuable tool it will be for them in the future as therapists, but also how great it will be to enhance their own lives. I would highly recommend the International House of Reiki for a wonderful and meaningful training experience."
So, if you'd like your members to 'thoroughly enjoy' themselves then all you have to do is contact the centre.
Frans and Bronwen have also been guests on a light hearted television programme called Chalo India. Here they were interviewed about the system of Reiki and everyone joined in the fun of the program including ourselves - please see the attached photo. And to answer your question - no you do not need to do silly hand movements to practice Reiki, that was just for the photo and a laugh!
And here's feedback received from a participant on a talk about the Japanese Art of Reiki by Frans Stiene. "I attended your talk when you were in Melbourne for the Living Now symposium. I would have liked to have had a chat to you but you were very busy. I was very impressed with your talk and found you to be the best speaker, for me, on the day - your talk had the most impact on me!!!"

Here is an excerpt from The Reiki Digest about a 2007 New York talk:
Last Thursday, before the Shinpiden class began, Bronwen and Frans spoke at a special NYC Reiki Meetup at the East West Books yoga studio. Bronwen began the presentation with a brief talk about their Reiki journey, and then Frans spoke and took questions. The Stienes -- he's from Holland, she's Australian -- first studied Reiki in Nepal, then moved on to Darjeeling, India, where they set up a Reiki center. Back in Australia, they established the International House of Reiki, and then decided to seek out the roots of Reiki in Japan. Their extensive study and research led to their first book, The Reiki Sourcebook, the most comprehensive book ever about Reiki. Their second, The Japanese Art of Reiki , focuses on self-care from the traditional Japanese perspective. They followed those with a handy pocket guide, the A-Z of Reiki, The Reiki Techniques Card Deck, and now Your Reiki Treatment.
The system of Reiki has five elements, Frans explained: the Reiki precepts (gokai), breathing techniques (kokyu ho), hands-on healing (tenohira), symbols and mantras (shirushi and jumon), and attunements (reiju).
"Are attunements necessary?" one person asked.
"We can do healing without attunements," Frans said, "But that's not Reiki."
Attunements are not necessary to connect to Reiki energy, however. "Reiki is universal energy, right?" Frans said. "How can I connect someone to universal energy if they already are universal energy. We are all universal energy -- otherwise we'd be dead.
"I'm everything, you're everything...ultimately there's only one flavor of universal energy," he said.
Frans said he prefers the term used in French for attunements: initiation. "It's an initial experience. "As soon as I say, I can do this on you, there's a separation. It's a tool to help the student connect with this space."
Frans led the group in a brief meditation, and then both Bronwen and Frans autographed copies of their books: The Reiki Sourcebook, The Japanese Art of Reiki, The Reiki Techniques Card Deck, The A-Z of Reiki, and Your Reiki Treatment. Fans were still lined up for autographs from these very special Celeb-Reiki's when the place closed for the night.
Frans and Bronwen have also been guests on a light hearted television programme called Chalo India. Here they were interviewed about the system of Reiki and everyone joined in the fun of the program including ourselves - please see the attached photo. And to answer your question - no you do not need to do silly hand movements to practice Reiki, that was just for the photo and a laugh!
