Sei-Ki could be defined in many ways. It is a touch art with therapeutic effects; full engagement in life; both an ancient and fresh view of health; a revolution in touch. By any definition, the world needs more of it.
I have been presenting Sei-Ki workshops for over 20 years and have met many people who love it. But it is challenging to learn to real depth and, like Kishi, I have often wondered what would help people benefit from it more.
Now my years of research are coming to fruition in this project. I have great collaborators and our combined experience and ideas have matured and are ready to share.
The Sei-Ki Hub and The Sei-Ki Training have been established by Alice Whieldon in collaboration with Alexandra Gelny and Maria Kokori.
We have set this up in service to Sei-Ki, students of Sei-Ki and a world in need of human touch. We think the time is right and also, we love this work and get a lot of pleasure from sharing it.
The Sei-Ki Training is an intensive immersion year with the aim of giving participants a solid foundation in the work.
It is a rolling programme, designed to become the training you want and need for as long as you want and need it.
Like a Sei-Ki session, it is dynamic and responsive and will evolve over time.

Sei-Ki is “beginners mind”, so this training is relevant to practitioners at all levels. Once you have completed the intensive year, joining all or part of it in subsequent years will take you to deeper layers of understanding. This is why we say this year is a rolling programme.
In the first year (Sept. 2025 till June 2026) the number of students accepted will be: 14.
PLEASE NOTE: There are only very few places left for the inaugural year. So, if you are planning to apply for 2025/26, we recommend you do so soon.
You can pre-register your interest in the second Training cycle HERE. If there is a strong demand, we are thinking about running the second Training sooner than originally planned.
We invite applications to the Sei-Ki Training from those who have a minimum of 6 days in Sei-Ki workshops. At least 3 of these days must be with Alice Whieldon. The other 3 days could be with Alexandra Gelny or Maria Kokori.
You can apply by filling out this form.
Applicants will be invited to an interview with Alice plus Alexandra or Maria.
This is so you and we can all be satisfied that The Sei-Ki Training is a good fit. It will also be a chance for you to ask us any questions you may have, and it will also help us to tailor the Training even better to the individual needs of the participants.
Once both you and us have confirmed your application, your place in The Sei-Ki Training is guaranteed and your registration is definite.
Overall tuition for The Sei-Ki Training is EUR 3,000.-.
If you need a different payment plan, please get in touch; we are open to discussing individual solutions.
