Frank Arjava Petter (Arjava) is originally German, but has been living in Japan since 1992 with his wife Chetna. His professional life has been quite varied including being an organic farmer to being one of the body- guards of the Indian Mystic Osho. This wide variety of jobs has taught him how to work with people of all ages from different races, cultures and backgrounds. Communication, he says, is the key to unlocking the door to freedom. 

Arjava has been teaching Reiki since 1993 but his deeper and internationally celebrated involvement with Reiki began six years ago when he "discovered” the grave and memorial of Dr. Usui in Tokyo and original documents by Dr. Usui and his students. His initial research culminated in the publication of his first book "Reiki Fire” which was followed by "Reiki, the legacy of Dr. Usui”, "The original Reiki Handbook of Dr. Mikao Usui" and “The Spirit of Reiki” in collaboration with Walter Lübeck and William Rand. In the fall of 2002, two more titles will be available. 

Since 1998, he has been traveling all over the globe lecturing and teaching Dr. Usui's original Japanese Reiki techniques that have not been taught in the West before. In his workshops he brings together East and West and Reiki practitioners from all schools, healing the wounds of the past.  

Arjava will be facilitating us in a therapeutic technique to unify and celebrate our sameness.
