About this Retreat
Your Guides
I was born in Prague, Czechia, in 1987. I studied economics at Kenyon College (BA, Ohio), the London School of Economics, and the University of Amsterdam (MSc). Among my few jobs, I spent the longest time at McKinsey & Company.
I became interested in Buddhism when I was 16 and started meditating at 18. In 2018, I went to Malaysia to become a Theravada monk. I was able to get into the jhanas (profoundly serene and blissful states of meditative concentration) relatively quickly. Later, in 2022, I managed to break through into the cessation of perception and feeling—the highest meditative attainment possible according to the early Buddhist scriptures. After that, I maintained and developed the cessation practice for over two years.
Besides Malaysia, I have practiced meditation in Buddhist monasteries in Burma, Thailand, Sri Lanka, and Singapore.
At the end of 2024, I decided to abandon formal monasticism, return to Europe, and dedicate myself to helping others on the path to jhana.
Details of this retreat
Mentoring is primarily for clarifying questions about the Jhana Training Manual and for personalized advice on developing the jhanas during (solitary) meditation retreats. That said, you're welcome to ask anything you wish. I do not offer guided meditations (meaning we discuss meditation, but we do not meditate together online).
I call it mentoring, not teaching, for a reason. Apart from the manual, which provides a structured path through the samadhi stages (from mindfulness to cessation of perception and feeling), I don't follow a preset training program. Instead, our sessions are shaped by your questions—my role is to support you based on your specific situation, needs, and goals.
The paid time is valid for 6 months after payment. You can choose any combination of writing, voice messaging, and video/voice calls to utilize your prepaid time, whether you're on a meditation retreat or not. The only limitation is that the minimum duration deducted from your prepaid time for any call is 30 minutes.
If you have any questions about the process, feel free to contact me.
