SARA Shelter: BrightHaven
Founding SARA Shelter in Santa Rosa, CA

BrightHaven is an integral part of SARA. The animals, Gail and Richard Pope, and all the staff provide a beautiful space for teaching and healing. Kathleen is honored to offer her Level 1, 2 and 3 Reiki classes at BrightHaven, a non-profit organization dedicated to the holistic care and rescue of senior, special needs and hospice animals in Santa Rosa, California.

Check out this interview Kathleen did with Gail Pope for the International House of Reiki:

BrightHaven & Animal Reiki


Kathleen has been teaching monthly Reiki classes at BrightHaven since 2005, and considers the animals there to be her skilled Reiki teaching assistants and guides. Students can feel the energy of love and peace as soon as they walk through BrightHaven's doors; what a wonderful and supportive place to learn Reiki! BrightHaven is not only a model sanctuary, hospice and rescue network, it is also Gail and Richard Pope's home, and they extend incredible hospitality to all Kathleen's students. As Gail always says in her welcome at the beginning of the Reiki classes, "While you are here, our home is your home. Please make yourself comfortable!" Kathleen looks forward to sharing the wonders and miracles of BrightHaven with you! Click HERE  to visit BrightHaven's website and learn more about their work.
