About the Event
Join us in Vilnius from July 10-12, 2024, for a three-day retreat focused on deepening your practice of mental stillness. This intensive event, led by Tobi Warzinek, explores the core principles of Samatha, or mental quietude, and the natural state of beingness.
You’ll discover why inner stillness is key to a stable and reliable happiness. We’ll guide you through techniques for achieving it and discuss the balance between object-based and object-free meditation. This retreat is designed to help you connect with your inner peace and find clarity in the nature of mind.

Each session encourages participants to engage in open dialogue and inquiry, offering opportunities to address personal challenges and find clarity on the spiritual path.

About the Teacher
Tobi Warzinek’s journey into mindfulness began in 2002 at the Rabten Choeling Tibetan Buddhist monastery, deepening his understanding of meditation and Buddhist teachings over seven years. Transitioning to the Thai (Theravada) tradition in 2011, he focused on practical mind training. Tobi’s teaching philosophy is straightforward—addressing everyday mental challenges such as distraction and stress with clear, practical solutions. He advocates for a closer examination of our thoughts and feelings to foster a more balanced and fulfilling life. Through his years of teaching, Tobi has focused on demystifying meditation, making it accessible and pertinent to daily life, and guiding others towards finding peace and clarity amidst life’s chaos.
