Cascade Aids Project (CAP) Special Events Portland Women’s Show- October 2010 At these events NWRA sets up a massage table and a massage chair to give Reiki sessions. NWRA members volunteer their time giving 15 minutes sessions during these events. The cost for a 15 minute Reiki session is $5; typically practitioners charge anywhere from $40 – 70 per hour session.

Independent Volunteer Opportunities 
"Outside In" is a free medical clinic in downtown Portland for homeless and street-dependent youth, as well as other low-income and marginalized populations. They have assisted these populations since their doors first opened in 1968. Their volunteers help ensure that their clients receive medical care, housing, case management, education and employment services.
Volunteer opportunities are available for Reiki practitioners at the "Outside In" during the evening or weekend hours. This project is not a Northwest Reiki Association sponsored event so you don’t have to wear the official polo or have liability insurance. This volunteer opportunity is for you as an independent Reiki Practitioner.
