Mitra Ghaffari is the an enlightened seer and and an awakened master. Her presence alone is transformational; from her bright loving smile, to the tone of her voice, the insights and wisdom she shares; she naturally transmits peace, love, happiness and healing. You can count on her open-hearted wisdom, generosity of spirit and integrity.
My experience with Mitra over the years, as a physician and intuitive healer, both in personal and public events, includes: powerful meditations, sudden healings, instant manifestations and transformational events. They are reminders of the magical transformational powers of the human spirit.
By being with Mitra in any capacity, one remembers and experiences their own unity with Spirit; can claim their personal noble divinity, and own their natural, inherited manifestation powers.
Dr. Marisol González C
Mitra Ghaffari is a spiritual teacher and treasure, a great blessing to this world. She was born awake and has the capacity to help others into the mystical realms she has swum in her whole life. These realms, while new to many, are her intrinsic way of living.
My experience with Mitra during our Mahamudra Meditation phone sessions was life transforming. Spiritual openings which had begun for me were given lift-off and were vastly amplified. She is a profound seer, mystic, and has energy awareness so acute that it is likely she could teach almost anyone at any stage of spiritual development and bring them to a higher level.
She is a born teacher with a wide-open heart and lives her life in selfless service. I have found it to be a privilege to know her. You can count on absolute integrity, expertise and caring from any classes and sessions she offers.

Benefits There are many benefits to eating cleansing raw fruits, nuts and vegetables as smoothies. When you ‘powerfully blend’ them, also referred to as “nutrient extraction”, you're consuming all the nutrients and antioxidants from the fruits and vegetables in a digestible form. This means that your body can absorb all the goodness and benefits they have to offer.

Common Health Improvements
|
Drinking water (and/or herbal tea) throughout the day, aids in the removal of toxins by flushing them out more quickly, whilst also keeping you hydrated. Drinking at least 8 cups of water a day can help you stay on track. Denman Island Spring Water
We provide naturally alkaline Denman Spring Water with a pH of 7.2 - 7.4, close or equal to our blood which is pH 7.34 - 7.35.

I was looking for a retreat due to accumulated stress and the need for solitude and cleanse. I chose this retreat as it offered an individual flexible program. I achieved full recharge of the body and mind.
Let me express my gratitude for welcoming and pampering me in your beautiful place. It definitely surpassed my expectations. I am happy with all the experience I got in Manna House - healing, relaxing, rejuvenating - from breathtaking sea view from my window, nourishing smoothies, warming bathtubs, detoxifying saunas to life-changing massage and astrology sessions. All this made a deep influence on my body, mind and soul.
I miss your care, as now I need to make food supplies myself ))
After the retreat I implemented Wim Hof breathing in my daily routine, switched to organic food and started group Tai Chi sessions. Feeling great so far. We even started thinking of moving to BC one day.
I wish you and Mitra all the best... You are doing great things!!!
Alla S, 4-night Detox Retreat, Eagle View, April ‘24
Manna House is a haven for rejuvenation and relaxation. I highly recommend!
Manna House was a wonderful retreat experience. Mark, the owner was very kind and checked in through text regularly to ensure everything was ok, while maintaining guests' privacy.
The Ocean Sauna and fire pit were my favourite part of the experience. Fresh fruits, vegetables, and nuts were always available in quantity.
Vera S, 4-night Detox Retreat, Ocean Spray, April '24
Now the food…it was amazing—so much variety that we were excited to decide what we’d prepare every meal. Keep in mind you make your owns shakes and salads which we loved because it was preparing us to come home and repeat it! Everything was fresh, cut up, and ready to enjoy. We never got bored with the options. This retreat not only refreshed me but also inspired me to keep eating raw food each day in my diet. It was a perfect mix of relaxation, adventure, and great eats. Can’t wait to come back! Thank you for sharing this amazing place, Mitra & Mark!

Infrared Sauna • daily sessions
The in-house, full-spectrum, medical grade Infrared Sauna is included for 1-2 people, for private daily sessions lasting up to 3-4 hours, for 'circuits' including a maximum of 60 minutes IR exposure.
Relax with a private West-facing garden view. The interior is exquisitely hand-crafted from sustainably grown Canadian Basswood, the least allergenic wood in North America. It's assembled without glue from thick planks, so the sauna is toxin-free, and finished with 100% natural beeswax. With the lowest EMF of any sauna in the world (up to 80X lower than other brands on the market), it is safe for people with electrical sensitivities. |
Medical grade infrared saunas employ ceramic elements so they don’t overheat the air, so when you’re sitting inside an infrared sauna, taking a breath is comfortable. The ceramic elements emit heat in the infrared spectrum which your body loves. Humans absorb heat in the infrared spectrum, like the sun’s heat, naturally and very efficiently. The sweat glands just under the surface activate and start pushing out sweat without causing your heart to race, or your blood temperature to rise. It’s a much lower-stress way to detox.

Experience the healing benefits of this Nordic tradition that dates over 2,000 years. The hot → cold → relax → repeat circuit has numerous positive effects for the mind, body and spirit, including better sleep, improved physical and mental health, accelerated recovery and healing.
Head to the private beach where you can spend hours alternating between the wood-fired barrel sauna, plunging in the ocean, showering, relaxing by the fire, while admiring sweeping views across the Lambert Channel to Hornby Island. This retreat includes one session which can last at least 4 hours, but you are welcome to book more...

Mind-Body Exercise Recommendations
Take a few minutes, two or three times a day minimum, to do some or all of the following.
Listen to your mind/body and choose the best options for you.
It's a good idea to prepare for emotions that may arise. According to traditional Chinese medicine, the liver is associated with anger, the kidneys with fear, and the spleen with worry. Old emotions may arise and be cleansed from the system as the corresponding organs are cleansed.
