Toby is my teacher of Qi Gong for nearly 3 years...I was learning with him since his early opening days of the Qi Gong and I keep on practicing with him until now (2012). His traditional Chinese teaching is impressing me by his devotion and endurance on class. I m feeling of peace and calmness when I go to class.... More

Toby is the reason to do this retreat. I did a 5 day retreat with Toby & Parn and it was an insightful, challenging experience a wonderful beginning into the stillness of the mind. The teachings with Toby are a highlight & this young man is wise beyond his years. I was well looked after & the accommodation is basic,... More

Tobi runs a basic, non trendy, ,meditation tradition. He is very dedicated to this form of self growth. He runs the retreat with his warm hearted partner Parn. Tobi places the structure of a meditation and breathing techniques in the larger context of Tibetan Buddhism. There is an early wake up, two Q&A sessions followed by a guided meditation, and... More

I attended a 7-day retreat with Tobi and Parn at the Phuket Meditation Center in April 2012. I can thus attest to the veracity of the reviews on this site.

I subscribed for a 3-day retreat but soon after I met Tobi I felt confident and decided to stay for 5-days. The accommodation is good, there is a nice swimming pool and the food was excellent. The owners Tobi and... More

In November 2011, I did a 3-day meditation retreat at the Phuket Meditation Centre, a short drive from central Phuket town. As I had just completed a few years of intense work and training in mental health counselling, I booked the retreat to ground myself and to experience some inner healing. I'd had a few informal experiences of meditation before,... More

Phuket Meditation Center is a lovely meditation center. I stayed in a clean, quiet, retreat house with my own deck and bathroom. Many people think that meditation is sitting down and clearing your mind. It is not. Clearing your mind is very difficult, which is why most people, including myself, have tried and failed. Instead, meditation is the process of... More
