“Just for today, devote yourself to your work and be kind to people.”

Dr. Mikao Usui

Robert is a Reiki Master level 3, certified by Bonnie Ricica in 2023. He is also an ordained Universal Life Church Monastery Reverend since 2009. He also spent several years being mentored by the psychic medium, and energy worker Nancy Laporta. He hosts several Reiki shares in McHenry county, and does 1-on-1 Reiki Sessions with his clients. Robert studied the Kabbalah with the late Jim Lebick (1948 – 2016) in the 1990’s, and he also spent time in Tuba City, at the Arizona Navajo reservation studying to be a medicine man with the late Robert Johnson. While Robert was staying at the Navajo reservation, the whole experience left him with a profound respect for Native American spirituality and it’s people.  That experience changed the way Robert sees this world and why he works with Reiki, the Great Spirit, and why he paints.

“I feel that all things are energy, and anyone can learn to work with the source energy regardless of experience.”

Robert is currently based in McHenry, IL, and he is also an abstract energy artist who goes by the name Dreamswordart. His work can be seen at Inner Haven Gallery in Grayslake, IL and in Crystal Lume in McHenry, IL. He used to teach the Circle of Energy classes and workshops at Evolve in Crystal Lake from 2009-2011.
