Reiki to the Rescue
.
The Shelter Animal Reiki Association (SARA) is a non-profit organization, established in 2008, that teaches and promotes the Let Animals Lead™ method which uses meditation as it's the foundation practice to individuals and animal welfare organisations around the world.
Our goal is to create a peaceful, healing environment within shelters and other animal care settings. We work closely with staff and volunteers, veterinarians, and allied service organizations.

JOIN A NETWORK OF PASSIONATE HEALERS AND RESCUERS
FOR THE ANIMALS
Reiki can offer peace and wellbeing to animals under the immense stress of being in rescue, often traumatised, having suffered injury or abuse or grieving for lost family. Reiki can help to rehabilitate, support behavioural issues and allow animals to show their true self and personality to potential adopters. Our methods do not require physical contact and are effective from outside kennels/enclosure.
FOR STAFF
It is a well known fact that those in the front line of animal welfare can suffer from stress and prone to compassion fatigue - a very real result of seeing traumatised animals on a regular basis and as the result of human abuse. The work is also physically exhausting and just gathering the strength to carry on can be daunting at times. Reiki will give you the techniques to decompress, restore and protect your energy, an invaluable tool for times of stress.
Ever wished that you could just tell them you are trying to help ? Reiki gives you a new way of communicating with the most traumatised or sick animals, a means of connecting and speaking their language when often you have tried every other way of getting through to them - Reiki offers animals a new experience of human contact.
Calming for both people and animals Reiki can only benefit every situation in your working day.
Become a SARA Member
If your organisation joins as a SARA Member, there is no cost involved to you, training is provided free of charge to staff. As a SARA member shelter you will be added to our network of people dedicated to offering Reiki to animals and their carers in need. In our network you will find people from all walks of life and involved with animals in many ways : healers, vets, nurses, behaviourists, rescuers all ready to offer help, healing and support to your organisation.
FUNDRAISING
An added benefit of introducing a SARA programme to your shelter is that you can choose to host Animal Reiki classes and workshops at your shelter. This could be a fundraising event/class or while your staff are being trained, invite volunteers and members of the public to generate funds. Volunteers receive a reduced fee and public would pay full price. A percentage of the fees are donated directly to your shelter.
Courses are fully insured, attendees receive a certificate and detailed manuals.
