Code of ethics for Reikicenter de Oorsprong in Den Haag

nederlands-netherlands-flagCode of Ethics

36

When the people currently working in De Oorsprong started working together, a conscious decision was made to also adopt a document of intentions and a Code of Ethics. Although the things mentioned in this Code of Ethics were already self-evident to us, it felt like the right step to put them on paper and make them known. It gives clarity in the standards and values that each of us adheres to and how we want to use our skills in our activities. It shows the commitment of the Reiki Masters in the Origins to respect students and clients and to honor ourselves and each other. Outwardly, this Code clearly sets out what can be expected about the ethical behavior of Reiki Masters and practitioners who have adopted it.
