Self Healing: Reiki Performance by Kahori Kamiya
Brooklyn Arts Council and Amos Eno Gallery are proud to announce an interactive performance event as part of Kahori Kamiya’s current solo exhibition, Long Eclipse. The event, titled “Self Healing”, will be a special opportunity for visitors to experience the technique of Reiki for relaxation, balance, and well-being. The performance will take place on Sunday, March 19, from 3-4pm.
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. During the performance, a certified Reiki healer will perform reiki on participants, who will be seated in a quiet space within the gallery.
This program is presented by Amos Eno Gallery in partnership with the BAC Wellness Studio, a hybrid program from Brooklyn Arts Council that provides space for the well-being of Brooklyn’s creative community.
