3 Day Private Intensive Jhana Retreat Testimonial

Here is a recent testimonial from a student in our 3-Day private intensive Jhana retreat here in Krabi, Thailand. This student already had years of experience meditating on a different object of meditation, so he was making a dramatic change and the possibility existed that it would not turn out as he wished.

But in the end, it was a really enjoyable three days with him. He was able to meet his goals and I was able to learn a lot about an amazing person. 🙂 If this intensive 1 on 1 experience is something you’re considering, let’s talk about it in a Google meet.


Dear Vern,

It is with much happiness, gratitude and satisfaction that I write this.

After having done some serious meditation on my own with only books and videos as a guide for 8 years for 30 minutes every single morning, I seemed to have reached a block.
With my meditation stagnating, I was feeling lost and desperately looking for an authentic guide with personal attainment as my in-person guide.

The yoga tradition says that ” one doesnt find a guru/spiritual guide, rather a person will appear when you are ready for him”

I am very happy that I undertook this retreat.

I am very grateful for your generous sharing.
It touched my core.

I feel satisfied at having met my goals for this retreat.

You have shown me a path, a systematic routine which has reset me back on track and even taken me further than I imagined.

Your image and teachings are permanently etched on my mind.

I was reading the documents you gave me, and it is pure essence which penetrate to the depths of my mind.

“Not everyone can be a great meditator and spiritual guide, but a great meditator and spiritual guide can emerge from anywhere”

With immense gratitude and respect!

V. (3rd-6th March 2026, one-on-one private retreat)
