Why do people return to Anthony Markwell again and again?

After the most recent retreat in Russia, we received dozens of reviews—deep, honest, sometimes almost confessional.
And each one echoed the same sentiment:

💬“What I experienced over these days is impossible to find anywhere else.”

People shared how the anxiety that had followed them for years dissolved into silence, how an inner calm finally appeared—one they could live with instead of fighting. Decisions they had postponed for months suddenly became clear, and the inner tension gave way to a sense of grounded stability.

This isn’t something you can buy, read in a book, or get from a conversation.
It’s what happens when you’re guided by a teacher who truly knows how to lead practice deeply—yet safely and gently.

The December 13–20 retreat at Indriya is special in its own way:
it’s the last in-person retreat with Anthony this year.

These aren’t just dates.
They’re a chance to pause before the new year begins,
to release the weight you’ve been carrying,
and step into 2026 not in chaos, but in clarity.

📅 Vipassana Retreat with Anthony Markwell
December 13–20, 2025
Koh Phangan, Indriya Retreat Centre

Why do so many people decide at the last moment?

✨ because they read the reviews and think, “I want to feel this too”
✨ because they understand how rare teachers like this are
✨ because the spots slowly fill up
✨ because the inner “yes” is already there—it just needs form

If you feel the resonance, send a ➕
We’ll send you the details in a private message.

Sometimes it takes just one decision
for everything inside to become quiet.

Silence that transforms 🙏🏼

The silent meditation retreat with Dmitry Glazkov is a space where the practice unfolds deeply, honestly, and transformatively. And those who have experienced Vipassana firsthand describe it best.

Here are a few short impressions from participants of similar retreats:

✨ Simon
After five years of daily meditation, he felt ready to go deeper. During the retreat, he reached a meditative depth he had never experienced before — all without any external aids.
“This is where you can truly sort yourself out. I left energized, clear, renewed.”

✨ Kian
He didn’t come with a specific issue — just the desire to deepen his understanding of meditation. The week of silence became the most meaningful week of his life in terms of personal growth.
“I’d never encountered techniques this profound. I left with clarity and confidence for whatever comes next.”

✨ Eva
She needed a reset and a return to nature. From the very first hours, she felt trust toward the team and the space.
“The retreat gave me exactly what I needed. Every detail is crafted with care. This is a place of true inner quiet.”

This retreat with Dmitry Glazkov will take place in an intimate setting at Indria Retreat Center on Koh Phangan.
Dates:
📅 December 6–12, 2025

A small group, attentive guidance, tropical nature, and a purpose-built meditation space create ideal conditions for deep inner work.

A few spots remain!

Quiet Moments of November — how to find them even in the city 🍂

November on Koh Phangan is always special.
It’s a time when the island seems to exhale — slowly, softly, like after a long day.
At Indria, this quiet is especially tangible now: morning light falls gently onto the floor of the open hall where participants sink into Vipassana 🧘‍♂️, the wind rustles through the leaves 🌿, and the air itself seems to ring with calm.

But November’s quiet isn’t exclusive to the island.
Even if you’re in a city, surrounded by noise, schedules, and everyday routines — you can still spend these final weeks of the year more gently and mindfully.

Here are a few ways to find your own soft November moments, no matter where you are:

🌬️ 1. Small morning pauses
Wake up five minutes earlier — just to feel yourself, your breath, your body.
This alone can shift the tone of your entire day.

☕ 2. A warm daytime ritual
Create your own “quiet moment”: a cup of tea, a look out the window, a couple of deep breaths.
It grounds you more than you might think.

🚶‍♂️ 3. Slow city walks
Even a short walk without your phone brings back a sense of space.
Look around, notice the details — it becomes a small urban meditation.

📵 4. One screen-free evening
Turn off the news and social media for at least an hour.
Light a candle, switch to warm lighting, make the space around you cozy.
The city quiets down with you.

🕯️ 5. A little more gentleness with yourself
Ask yourself:
“What can I do today to make things feel a bit easier?”
Sometimes it’s sleep, sometimes it’s silence, sometimes it’s simply a slow exhale.

November can be a time of soft slowing down, wherever you are.
And even in the city, you can create your own small pocket of calm — as warm and grounding as the atmosphere at Indria on Koh Phangan. 🤍✨

What if being a meditation teacher is your true calling?

You already know that meditation changes lives.
You’ve seen how it brings clarity, stability, and peace.

But what if meditation is not only a path of personal growth?
What if it’s your way of serving the world — your true purpose?

You can spend years learning, attending retreats, reading, searching.
But one day, you simply feel it — it’s time to share.

For those who feel this calling, Anthony Markwell is opening his first live Meditation Teacher Training.

📅 April 2–22, 2026
📍 Indriya Retreat, Koh Phangan

This is not just a training.
It’s an initiation — three weeks alongside the Teacher, helping you move from personal practice to teaching.

Meditation, group work, teaching practice, and real transmission — all in live connection with a Master who has dedicated 30 years to meditation, including 12 years of leading retreats for thousands of students.

“This is not about theory.
It’s about direct experience and transmission through presence.”
— Anthony Markwell

Don’t just practice meditation — learn to share it with others.
Perhaps this is the chance you’ve been waiting for — the moment when searching turns into the Path, and the Path becomes your Purpose.

If you feel the call — follow it.

What if it’s a way to inspire others and find meaning in every day of your life?

After 30 years of personal practice, 11 years in monasteries in Myanmar and Thailand, and 12 years of leading retreats, Anthony Markwell is launching what many have long awaited — his first live Meditation Teacher Training.

📅 April 2–22, 2026
📍Indriya Retreat, Koh Phangan

This is not online. This is not theory.
It’s three weeks of deep learning and personal presence — a space where you live meditation from within and learn how to share it with others.

You’ll discover how to teach meditation with confidence and clarity, and how to guide others along this path.

“My teachers entrusted me with their practices.
Now it’s my time to pass them on.” — Anthony Markwell

These will be three unforgettable weeks — filled with meaning, inspiration, and clarity of your own Path.
A time of real transformation, inner insight, and a community united by one intention — the pursuit of awakening.

If you feel that it’s time to share — this is your chance.
If you feel the call — follow it.

True practice begins the moment you allow things to be just as they are. 🌿

🌿 Insight Vipassana & Yoga Retreat with Dmitry Glazkov — seven days of gentle yoga, mindful breathing, meditation, and Dhamma talks.
A space where silence becomes your ally, and presence feels like home.

✨ For the first time at Indra — Dmitry Glazkov, founder of Sadhama Rewild Retreats (UK), an experienced teacher of meditation, yoga, and Ayurveda.
📅 6–12 December 2025
📍 Koh Phangan, Thailand

🌸 Dmitry’s project — Sadhama — has been recognized as one of the leading retreat programs in the UK and was awarded “Best Meditation Retreat 2025.”
Over the past six years, he has led more than 30 retreats, welcoming over 1,500 practitioners from around the world.

🪷 With more than 15 years of personal practice, numerous long-term Vipassana retreats and Vision Quests in the wild, Dmitry’s journey has shaped a deep, lived understanding of the Dhamma — shared with warmth, sincerity, and a touch of humor.

For the last three years, Dmitry has been teaching yoga at Indra during retreats with Anthony Markwell and Igor Budnikov, offering participants his rare blend of clarity, depth, and presence.

He brings together Buddhist wisdom 🕊, yogic practices, and Ayurvedic principles, helping each participant reconnect with their natural wholeness.

💬“I don’t offer my personal experience,” says Dmitry,
“but tools for you to discover your own inner Wisdom.
Every path is unique — like breath, like rhythm.”

The retreat is open to experienced practitioners as well as those new to silence.
Each day unfolds through:
🧘‍♀️ morning yoga and breathwork,
🌞 mindfulness practices,
💬 inspiring Dhamma talks,
🌙 and quiet evening sessions in stillness.

This is an invitation to see yourself anew — gently, without striving.
Through breath, movement, and conscious presence.
