RECONCILIATION - Provoke and Evolve - Video

A deep exploration of how division arises — and how it can be healed — within spiritual and healing traditions, seen through Frank Arjava Petter’s journey from controversy to reconciliation.

This intimate documentary follows one of Reiki’s most influential contemporary figures from Osho’s ashram in India to Bert Hellinger’s Reiki constellation. Along the way, we uncover lineage revelations and witness the healing of long-standing rifts. The film concludes with Frank Arjava Petter’s resignation from Jikiden Reiki in 2025 — and a look into the future.

Behind this documentary are four days of raw, candid primary footage. Explore their full depth in THE ARCHIVE:
