a warm welcome to special INAUGURAL holy fire® journey in squamish
A Founding Offering — Small Group, In-Person, First Time Ever in Squamish
This is the first time I am offering the full 5-day Holy Fire® journey in Squamish, held in a small, heart-centered group. As a gesture of gratitude to the land and the early students who feel called to open this doorway with me, I’m offering a special founding rate for this inaugural cohort.
FOUNDING FEE: $1,111
This founding rate is deeply reduced from the regular value for this training (normally $2,500).
The in-person journey is intentionally small, and designed so every student receives personal attention, guidance, and spacious integration. If you feel called to begin 2026 with a powerful shift toward authenticity and healing, this is a special moment to join.
HOLY FIRE® — beginner to master — a true guided journey
This is not a course where you just receive a manual and a few lectures. It’s a true guided journey — I’ll be walking with you. You’ll receive gentle guidance, encouragement, and presence each step of the way. This has always been the way of the lineage masters — a bond between teacher and student based on love, trust, and care.

student experiences
Many students share that this journey doesn’t just teach Reiki — it helps them heal very deeply and discover their authentic selves. While each journey is unique, students often describe feeling more safe — soothed and supported by a higher consciousness that knows them intimately and loves them deeply.
★★★★★ Jennifer M, Vancouver — I recently learned Reiki with Shehbaz in an online workshop with 10 other participants. I felt Shehbaz was a calm and positive guide, explaining the fundamentals clearly and leading us through meditations and attunements. I learned how to self-scan and give Reiki to myself. I appreciated his ability to create/foster a wonderful community and it was a very illuminating experience. I’m inspired to continue my Reiki journey!
★★★★★ Gail M, Richmond — I took Reiki level 1 course with Master Shehbaz and it was an amazing experience. The class was taught in an interesting and casual way and there were a lot of interactions and story sharing. My body experienced some mild cleansing reactions after receiving the Reiki attunement but it is normal and I feel joyful practicing Reiki every day. :)
frequently asked questions
Q: Do I need prior Reiki experience?
A: Prior experience is not required. If you have prior experience we still recommend you start with Day 1 as Reiki energy is constantly evolving.
Q: Are manuals included?
A: Yes, the official manuals are included in your fees.
Q: What is the background of Holy Fire®?
A: Holy Fire® is a registered service mark of Reiki master William Rand who introduced the Holy Fire® Reiki system in 2014. Holy Fire® builds upon the traditional Usui style of Reiki which was originally introduced by Usui Sensei in the 1920’s.
The Holy Fire energy is the same current of light that once guided the founders of many spiritual paths to live their truth. When you connect with Holy Fire, you begin to awaken your own truth and step fully into your authentic self.
Q: Can I start with any day?
A: The journey is sequential. Everyone begins at Day 1 to ensure proper attunements and learning progression.
Q: What if I can’t attend a scheduled Group day?
A: You can make it up with a Private 1-on-1 session by paying the difference.
Q: What’s the difference between in-person and online journey?
A: Online journeys are convenient, allowing easy integration at home. In-person offers hands-on practice. Both are equally effective and prepare you to practice professionally.
Q: Should I choose Group or Private?
A: Group classes offer shared energy and community on a fixed schedule. Private 1-on-1 provides flexibility to choose your dates and individualized guidance, ideal for personal pacing or integration needs. Both paths achieve full training and certification.
Q: When will I receive my certification?
A: Certification is issued upon completion of all 5 days.
Q: Will I be able to give Reiki to others?
A: Yes, you will be fully prepared to offer Reiki professionally, if you wish. Professional practice is optional; many students choose to focus solely on their own healing and self-practice.
Q: Will I be able to teach Reiki?
A: Yes — completion qualifies you to teach and issue your own certificates, if you wish. Teaching is optional; many students choose to focus solely on their own healing and self-practice.
Q: Is support available for the setting up my own Reiki practice?
A: Yes — guidance is offered for setting up your own Reiki practice.
Q: What if I can’t afford the journey?
A: I believe learning and healing should be accessible. A limited number of sliding-scale journeys are available for those experiencing financial hardship. Please reach out if this would support you — your presence is always more important than the price.
Q: Are there other complementary courses?
A: Yes — you may be drawn to explore our Circle of Life Reiki Journey or Animal Reiki jouney. Each path offers its own unique doorway into healing and growth.
