SUMMARY:The Samadhi Sessions – A Meditation Retreat
DESCRIPTION:The Samadhi Sessions\nA 3-day meditation retreat with Frank Arjava Petter\nThis is a rare opportunity to spend three immersive days learning directly from one of the world’s most respected meditation and Reiki teachers. \nHeld at Mana Retreat Centre\, this retreat is an invitation to step out of the noise of everyday life and into a space of presence\, awareness\, and reconnection. \nFrank Arjava Petter brings decades of experience\, drawing from both Eastern and Western traditions to guide participants into meditation in a way that is grounded\, accessible\, and deeply personal. \nThere are many meditation techniques\, and part of this journey is discovering which one truly resonates with you. \nBecause meditation is not something to force. Which technique you practice is not important. What matters is that it feels right for you. \nThere are many meditation retreats\, but very few opportunities to explore meditation under the guidance of a teacher with this level of depth\, lineage\, and global experience. \nArjava has spent decades teaching internationally\, working with thousands of students across Europe\, Asia\, and beyond\, and has played a significant role in preserving and sharing the authentic roots of Reiki and meditation. \nRather than following a single method\, this retreat offers a direct experience of multiple meditation approaches\, allowing each participant to explore\, feel\, and discover what works for them. \nThis is what makes the practice sustainable. Not discipline alone\, but connection. \n\nAbout this Retreat\nThis retreat is designed to help you discover a meditation practice that feels natural\, supportive\, and deeply nourishing. \nYou will be guided through a range of techniques drawn from different traditions\, including breath awareness and grounding practices\, Vipassana (insight meditation)\, Zazen (Zen sitting meditation)\, Taoist inner practices\, techniques from the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra\, self-enquiry (Ramana Maharshi method)\, Osho active meditations\, and body awareness practices. \nEach session is experiential\, allowing you to move beyond theory and into direct understanding. \nAcross the three days\, you will explore different layers of awareness. \nDay One focuses on the body\, arriving into the body and developing awareness of inner sensation\, releasing tension and establishing a grounded presence. \nDay Two focuses on the breath and energy body\, exploring breath as a bridge between body and mind\, developing calm\, clarity\, and an embodied sense of awareness. \nDay Three focuses on the mind and inner awareness\, exploring the nature of thought and deeper consciousness\, and moving beyond habitual thinking into stillness. \nThis retreat is open to anyone who feels called. \nWhether you are new to meditation or have an existing practice\, this space is designed to meet you where you are. \n\nWhat will the retreat cost?\nTuition Pricing:\nEarly Bird: $550 (available until 31 August\, or until allocation is filled)\nStandard: $650 (1 September – 15 October)\nFinal: $700 (from 16 October until retreat start) \nMana Accommodation & All Meals:\nCommuting: $325\nCamping: $385\nShared Room: $565 – $610\nSingle Room: $655 – $715 \nTotal Participant Cost (all inclusive): \nEntry Level (most accessible)\nCommuting: $875 – $1\,025\nCamping: $935 – $1\,085 \nShared Rooms (most common option)\n$1\,115 – $1\,310 \nPrivate Rooms\n$1\,205 – $1\,415 \n\nIntroducing \nYour Teacher\nFrank Arjava Petter is an internationally renowned Reiki Master\, meditation teacher\, and author whose work has influenced the global understanding of Reiki and spiritual practice. \nHe has taught thousands of students worldwide\, lived and trained extensively in Japan\, and has spent decades researching and preserving the authentic roots of Reiki. \nHis teaching style is grounded\, direct\, and deeply experiential\, guiding participants beyond theory into lived awareness. \n\nHosted by Catherine Parr. \nSpaces are limited and this retreat is expected to fill.
