A deep exploration of how division arises — and can be healed — within spiritual and healing traditions, seen through Frank Arjava Petter’s path from controversy to reconciliation today. Through this intimate documentary, we follow one of Reiki’s most influential contemporary protagonists from Osho’s ashram in India to Bert Hellinger’s Reiki constellation. Along the way, we uncover lineage revelations and witness the restoration of long-standing rifts. This work stands in the lineage of the 2017 interview-documentary RECONCILIATION – Along the Path of Mastery, featuring Phyllis Lei Furumoto, another central figure in modern Reiki history.

Interview-Documentary with Frank Arjava Petter
A Candid Conversation with Reiki Master Frank Arjava Petter, Hosted by René Vögtli. We are excited to launch a Kickstarter campaign for the second Documentary-Interview featuring Frank Arjava Petter and hosted by René Vögtli. This project delves into Reiki’s history, its controversies, and their resolution. It aims to heal rifts and to become a case-study of reconciliation for and beyond the Reiki community. The documentary will be a free-flowing conversation captured over three days, resulting in a 40-50 minute main feature video and an archive of the entire discussion.

Then, one day, grown-ups from the UK, the Netherlands and Austria decided that Reikiho needed cousins in their country. Continue reading “Reikinho – super hero across boundaries”
