Reiki Attunements in Byron, Michigan

Its unincorporated center, Byron Center, was platted in 1872 out of the Samuel S. Towner farm for one plain reason: that spot was the exact geographic center of the township. Settlement came slowly before that. Nathan Boynton located a farm in 1835 and fell ill, his brothers Jeremiah and William worked the claim and became residents in 1836, the township was organized that same year at a first meeting held in Grandville, and by 1850 the whole township still counted only about three hundred people. The 1876 township hall is the building that holds the memory. The Odd Fellows took a ninety-nine-year lease on its second story in 1877, it housed the township library until 1963 and township offices until 1986, and it reopened as the Byron Township Historical Museum in 1987 with a Michigan historical marker placed in 1990. William Jennings Bryan spoke there in 1896 while running for president, and Gerald R. Ford later met constituents in the same room. Today the township also holds the southern end of Kent Trails, the fifteen-mile paved rail trail that opened in 1992 as the county's first. Reiki study from Prismatic Academy reaches Byron Township as a download. Rev. Michael Allison teaches it as a complementary practice that supports rest, not as a medical service.

Reiki practice is an unregulated complementary field in the US, so requirements vary by state and setting. We recommend checking any local rules that apply to your situation.

What is the old building at the center of Byron Center?

It is the Byron Township Hall, built in 1876 and now the Byron Township Historical Museum. The International Order of Odd Fellows held a ninety-nine-year lease on the second floor beginning in 1877, which is why the upstairs holds the veterans and schoolroom exhibits today. The Byron Center Historical Society bought and restored it in 1986 and opened it as a museum in 1987, and a Michigan historical marker was erected in 1990.
