Experience in-person training in the Usui Reiki Ryoho tradition with Nicholas Pearson as guide.

Participants study advanced Japanese techniques, refine approaches for healing and personal development, and gain practical strategies for planning and teaching effective classes. Guidance is also provided on facilitating community practice, including Reiki shares, training sessions, and reiju-kai. Those who complete the program receive the title shihan, the Japanese term for instructor, often called Reiki Master in many lineages. Graduates are trained to conduct the reiju ceremony to transmit Reiki to others. Each participant receives a certificate, a comprehensive manual with supplemental materials, traditional reiju to affirm connection with the Usui Reiki Ryoho lineage, dedicated practice time for treatments, attunements, and advanced meditations, plus resources for continuing education and professional growth. Ongoing support from Nicholas continues after the course. Nicholas brings decades of experience in the healing arts and insight gathered from studying multiple Reiki styles around the world. His teaching emphasizes the spiritual heart of the practice and provides clear, in-depth instruction for meaningful, sustainable growth. Prerequisites include initiation and training through the first and second degrees in any Reiki lineage, with certificates that may be requested, at least six months of personal or professional practice, the ability to conduct sessions both in person and remotely, and a commitment to live by the Five Precepts.

Gear up for a ranked Dice Throne Swiss tournament centered on quick, competitive matches. Plan to arrive about 15 minutes early, since once games begin, late arrivals are removed from the bracket. Promo items will follow the official schedule. Players will use the Bring 3, Ban 1 format. Each participant must bring three personal heroes and keep the same trio throughout the event. Before play, remove all promo and mythic cards, take Buh, Bye out of character decks, and ensure every deck matches its leaflet with only standard cards and no duplicates. Confirm that your heroes are on the approved list and that you have the required updated leaflets for Tactician, Huntress, Vampire Lord, Thor, and Miles Morales: Spider-Man. Rounds are single games with a 30 minute timer, and ties can occur. The number of rounds depends on attendance: 5 to 8 players equals 3 rounds, 9 to 23 equals 4, 24 to 47 equals 5, and 48 to 64 equals 6.

At the start of each round, roll once to decide who bans first, then roll again to determine first player. Track who starts, because the first player skips the income phase. When time is called, continue until both players have taken an equal number of turns, then compare health. Higher health wins, equal health is a tie. Tiebreakers are head to head results among tied players, the median Buchholz system, then health difference.

Experience a therapeutic sound immersion where resonant tones from crystal and Tibetan singing bowls, gongs, and bells wash over you. The session aims to foster deep rest, ease stress, and support overall well-being through vibrations you can feel in your body as well as hear.

An immersive courtroom drama from Law&Crime places the audience in the jury box, turning a night at the theater into a high-stakes deliberation. As the Burning House case unfolds, attendees listen to testimony, examine evidence, and vote at decisive moments that can alter the course of the trial, with the final verdict determined by the crowd. This is not a passive show... the justice delivered comes from the people in the seats. The case centers on wedding planner Mary Barrett and her boyfriend, firefighter Danny Cullen. After Mary breaks years of sobriety during a party and a fierce argument follows, Danny is later found dead and his home is destroyed by fire. Angry messages from Mary, traces of accelerant in her car, and a night she can barely recall all seem incriminating. Yet unanswered questions muddy the picture. Danny suffered a serious head injury before the fire, key security footage is missing, and the arson investigator, Mikey Doyle, was Danny’s close friend and had clashed with him over secret messages with Mary. The mystery asks whether Mary set the blaze in a drunken rage or whether the investigator is concealing his own role. The experience includes themes of violent and accidental death, relapse and addiction, and intense domestic conflict, with emotionally charged moments and a detailed discussion of a fatal fire. Presented at Regent Theatre Arlington. Seating is general admission within the zone purchased. The venue is wheelchair accessible with a designated wheelchair area. It is suitable for ages 12 and up, and anyone under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. An on-site bar serves drinks and snacks and accepts cash only.
