The Samadhi Sessions
A 3-day meditation retreat with Frank Arjava Petter
This is a rare opportunity to spend three immersive days learning directly from one of the world’s most respected meditation and Reiki teachers.
Held 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.
Frank 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.
There are many meditation techniques, and part of this journey is discovering which one truly resonates with you.
Because meditation is not something to force. Which technique you practice is not important. What matters is that it feels right for you.
There 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.
Arjava 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.
Rather 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.
This is what makes the practice sustainable. Not discipline alone, but connection.
This retreat is designed to help you discover a meditation practice that feels natural, supportive, and deeply nourishing.
You 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 Ta**ra, self-enquiry (Ramana Maharshi method), Osho active meditations, and body awareness practices.
Each session is experiential, allowing you to move beyond theory and into direct understanding.
Across the three days, you will explore different layers of awareness.
Day One focuses on the body, arriving into the body and developing awareness of inner sensation, releasing tension and establishing a grounded presence.
Day 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.
Day Three focuses on the mind and inner awareness, exploring the nature of thought and deeper consciousness, and moving beyond habitual thinking into stillness.
This retreat is open to anyone who feels called.
Whether you are new to meditation or have an existing practice, this space is designed to meet you where you are.
Hosted by Catherine Parr.
Spaces are limited and this retreat is expected to fill. Early booking is recommended.
