The Reiki Center for Healing Arts, Columbus, Ohio

A collaborative of holistic health practitioners and community organizations

The Stone Soup Project

Sometimes a little extra support can make all the difference.

Remember the fable...
... of the traveler whose boiled stone is transformed into a delicious soup through donations of a potato, a carrot, a cabbage from helpful bystanders? This timeless story reminds us that the contributions of many individuals can help us all reach our shared goal. Practitioners who are part of the Stone Soup Project believe that uniting our energies can create a healthier community and a better world. 
 
Our Vision and Mission
Stone Soup Project envisions a community in which people and animals are living healthy, balanced lives.
 
As a collaborative of natural wellness practitioners, we believe all individuals deserve access to healing services and we volunteer to provide those services. We are committed to ethically providing complementary wellness services and education in partnership with organizations that provide advocacy and education towards improving the health of their target populations.
Stone Soup Project, The Reiki Center, Columbus, OH
Who We Are
Stone Soup Project (SSP) was created in 2012 by The Reiki Center in Columbus, Ohio to bring increased wellness into the lives of those who are under-served in our community.  The Reiki Center is the oldest and largest natural wellness center in Central Ohio.  SSP, the nonprofit arm of the organization, is coordinated by a Board of Directors who meet monthly to approve requests from area agencies and direct the activities of our volunteers.

SSP’s services are delivered by skilled, trained and vetted volunteers representing a wide range of wellness modalities. Volunteers must demonstrate proficiency, current licensure/certification, and agree to operate within the framework of our standards and code of conduct, as well as agree to a national background check. They offer their time and services on a pro bono basis to benefit those who might not otherwise have access to healing therapies.
 
Volunteers include, but are not limited to, Reiki practitioners, massage therapists, CranioSacral therapists, and reflexologists, to name the most available modalities.
 
Additionally, an important service component is our Animal Wellness Program which offers Reiki services to animals who are rescued, abused, fostered, or in need of healing services. This is often done in conjunction with services delivered to their human companions.

Who We Serve
SSP partners with local nonprofit service agencies which seek to improve the health and well-being of their target populations. The partner agency serves as liaison in the logistics of service delivery, (often in the form of wellness fairs), service selection, and the identification of eligible recipients.
 
Targeted groups we have served include (but are not limited to) rescue animals, pilot dogs, persons with disabilities, individuals with chemical dependencies, trafficked women, institutionalized elderly, caregivers of Alzheimer’s patients, selected health care and hospice staff, veterans, high risk pregnant women, and individuals with mental health concerns.
 
A select list of some of our many community partners includes:
  • Alvis, Inc.
  • Amethyst, an Alvis Recovery Program
  • Chalmers P. Wylie VA Ambulatory Care Center
  • Goodwill Industries
  • Grant Hospital
  • Kobacker House, a program of Ohio Health Hospice
  • Mt. Carmel School of Nursing
  • National Church Residences
  • Nationwide Children’s Hospital
  • PBJ Connections
  • The Recovery Village
  • Ronald McDonald House
  • Wexner Heritage Village
  • YWCA
  • Zusman Hospice

Special Projects and Programs
We actively seek joint ventures with agencies interested in obtaining grants and pursuing research in the area of providing wellness services to under-served high-risk populations from a public health frame of reference.

If you are an agency that is interested in partnering with the Stone Soup Project to benefit your members, please contact the Project in care of The Reiki Center.
 
If you are an individual unaffiliated with a sponsoring organization and would like to receive wellness services at no cost, you are invited to attend the free Reiki Clinic at The Reiki Center, held on the 3rd Monday from 6-8pm.
 
The Reiki Center is located at 1540 West Fifth Street, Columbus, in the Grandview area.  The #5 COTA bus stops immediately in front of the building.
