This is an exclusive invitation from Dr. Robert Goldman.
Join us for a very special experience of a lifetime in Thailand from January 7 to 14, 2024.
Overview
A few years ago, Dr. Robert Goldman traveled to a remote place in Thailand and was introduced to an Enlightened Meditation Master, Acharavadee Wongsakon. For him, it felt a bit like Marco Polo traveling to the Far East and entering an unusual world, where unexpectedly, he met such a profound figure like Master Acharavadee. As many of you know, Dr. Robert Goldman has traveled the world many times over. He has met and befriended many great people, including royalty, billionaires, celebrities, movie stars, religious leaders, and industry gurus.

Master Raymond James
Dr. Robert's journey in Techo Vipassana meditation
Nothing compares to being in the presence of this fully Enlightened Master. The vibration and energy are indescribable. When I met the Master for the first time, I instinctively knew I was in the presence of a very special person who would impact the world. Eventually, I became one of the first foreign students of Master Acharavadee Wongsakon. I learned a meditation method called ‘Techo Vipassana’ or ‘Fire Meditation.’ This unique meditation is taught only by the Master herself in Thailand and is extremely powerful, as it uses the fire element of the body to examine the mind and burn away mental impurities and energy in the body that might lead to disease. I practiced for seven days straight with the Master and dedicated Thai forest monks. I will not share the profound and supernatural experiences I had during courses with the Enlightened Master, so as not to create any expectations for those who might join me in the January 2024 course. But I will say that, for me, it has been life-altering.
Mind training at this level was one of the most challenging endeavors I have ever undertaken. However, it was also the most rewarding. This is not for the faint of heart, and you must commit yourself accordingly, prepare, be determined, and have an open mind to relearn how you perceive the world. But know that if I am inviting you, it means that I believe you can achieve this. Many of us reach a stage in life where we begin to contemplate the meaning of life and how we might like to spend the next chapter. Hopefully, we are also considering what we can do to help the world. Sitting quietly for one week with an Enlightened Master and high-level monks in the beautiful, serene, idyllic natural setting of Thailand may begin to answer your own existential questions and elevate your individual vibrations and consciousness to a new level.
As the Chairman of A4M and co-founder of the Anti-Aging Industry, I am frequently asked the same question by successful people around the world: ‘How can I live a long, healthy, happy, and productive life?’ My answer has evolved over the past few years. It has expanded from ‘eating right, exercising, and following anti-aging protocols’ to encompass mind and body purification at the fine energy level through advanced meditation, moral behavior, and helping others. This, in my view, is the secret to a fulfilling life.
Each person I invite is someone I believe possesses the qualities to reach this incredible level. The seven days of learning meditation will transform your life, equipping you to become a better person and contribute to the positive force that changes the world for the better.
Nothing else you may be doing will be as important as joining me for these 7 days in Thailand. “It is important on a journey like this that each person pays their own way. This shows that the person is worthy, determined to meet the Master, and has the resolve to embark on this special path.”
"When the student is ready... the Master will appear."
The course training, accommodations, and food during the 7-day course are provided free of charge. You can make a donation of your choosing at the end. Please note that many of us will arrive several days before the course starts and stay several days after at the luxurious 5-star Soul Resort, which is adjacent to the Ashram and offers special reduced rates. On the day after the course ends, on January 15, we will hold a martial arts demonstration and an induction of Grand Masters for the World Masters Martial Arts Hall of Fame.
Good luck, and I hope you seize this rare opportunity to join some of our other Grand Master Martial Arts family members. Very few foreigners have ever been allowed to undergo this unique training.
Fire Meditation In Thailand at January 2024
This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, joining Enlightened Forest Monks, Grand Master Martial Artists, celebrities, and industry leaders from around the world. Very few foreigners have ever been allowed to participate, but special arrangements have been made for this course. You will be learning a highly advanced meditation technique from Enlightened Master A. Wongsakon.
It is a meditation technique that uses the fire element of the body to look directly into the mind. With the assistance of the Master’s pure energy, what you may be able to see is:
- Past Lives and release of past emotions recorded as energy deep in our minds.
- Mental Impurities in the form of reptiles, parasites or armies, soldiers and other creatures and forms.
What is Techo Vipassana?
The Buddha called this phenomenon ‘Kilesas,’ and destroying these Kilesas in the mind is the most important thing we can do in our lives – to truly free ourselves from suffering. Burning Kilesas leads to mental purification and the arising of wisdom, ultimately resulting in liberation. This method of meditation is called Techo Vipassana or fire meditation, which is used to burn the impurities in the mind. Techo is quite different from the meditation practices you might learn in a yoga class, at a holiday resort, or through apps and YouTube.
Techo Vipassana means going to war within the mind, facing the mental impurities that reside there. It is indeed a battle between good and evil, the dark side and the light. You will learn to maintain an equanimous mind while the Techo Fire burns away the world of Kilesas that has been built within your body and mind.
The world we live in is filled with illusions and distractions, all meant to divert us from discovering the ultimate truth that resides within ourselves. We often find ourselves preoccupied with external matters, failing to realize that we are enslaved by the Kilesas within. Techo Vipassana Meditation, under the guidance of the high Masters, demands focus, concentration, determination, and unwavering perseverance.
Once you learn to practice the most powerful meditation method, each practice session becomes an opportunity to purify and liberate your mind, attain freedom, and access the ultimate wisdom and knowledge of the universe. Over these 7 days, you will be surrounded by monks and Masters who have walked the same path you are about to embark on.
Those with a resolute warrior’s mindset, willing to engage in this ultimate battle within, will transform their lives in ways they could never have imagined. You will come to genuinely comprehend the meaning of life, the significance of morality, the truth of karma, and the importance of performing good deeds and contributing to the betterment of the world.

Overview
A few years ago, Dr. Robert Goldman traveled to a remote place in Thailand and was introduced to an Enlightened Meditation Master, Acharavadee Wongsakon. For him, it felt a bit like Marco Polo traveling to the Far East and entering an unusual world, where unexpectedly, he met such a profound figure like Master Acharavadee. As many of you know, Dr. Robert Goldman has traveled the world many times over. He has met and befriended many great people, including royalty, billionaires, celebrities, movie stars, religious leaders, and industry gurus.

Dr. Robert's journey in Techo Vipassana meditation
Nothing compares to being in the presence of this fully Enlightened Master. The vibration and energy are indescribable. When I met the Master for the first time, I instinctively knew I was in the presence of a very special person who would impact the world. Eventually, I became one of the first foreign students of Master Acharavadee Wongsakon. I learned a meditation method called ‘Techo Vipassana’ or ‘Fire Meditation.’ This unique meditation is taught only by the Master herself in Thailand and is extremely powerful, as it uses the fire element of the body to examine the mind and burn away mental impurities and energy in the body that might lead to disease. I practiced for seven days straight with the Master and dedicated Thai forest monks. I will not share the profound and supernatural experiences I had during courses with the Enlightened Master, so as not to create any expectations for those who might join me in the January 2024 course. But I will say that, for me, it has been life-altering.
Mind training at this level was one of the most challenging endeavors I have ever undertaken. However, it was also the most rewarding. This is not for the faint of heart, and you must commit yourself accordingly, prepare, be determined, and have an open mind to relearn how you perceive the world. But know that if I am inviting you, it means that I believe you can achieve this. Many of us reach a stage in life where we begin to contemplate the meaning of life and how we might like to spend the next chapter. Hopefully, we are also considering what we can do to help the world. Sitting quietly for one week with an Enlightened Master and high-level monks in the beautiful, serene, idyllic natural setting of Thailand may begin to answer your own existential questions and elevate your individual vibrations and consciousness to a new level.

As the Chairman of A4M and co-founder of the Anti-Aging Industry, I am frequently asked the same question by successful people around the world: ‘How can I live a long, healthy, happy, and productive life?’ My answer has evolved over the past few years. It has expanded from ‘eating right, exercising, and following anti-aging protocols’ to encompass mind and body purification at the fine energy level through advanced meditation, moral behavior, and helping others. This, in my view, is the secret to a fulfilling life.
Each person I invite is someone I believe possesses the qualities to reach this incredible level. The seven days of learning meditation will transform your life, equipping you to become a better person and contribute to the positive force that changes the world for the better.
Nothing else you may be doing will be as important as joining me for these 7 days in Thailand. “It is important on a journey like this that each person pays their own way. This shows that the person is worthy, determined to meet the Master, and has the resolve to embark on this special path.”
"When the student is ready... the Master will appear."
The course training, accommodations, and food during the 7-day course are provided free of charge. You can make a donation of your choosing at the end. Please note that many of us will arrive several days before the course starts and stay several days after at the luxurious 5-star Soul Resort, which is adjacent to the Ashram and offers special reduced rates. On the day after the course ends, on January 15, we will hold a martial arts demonstration and an induction of Grand Masters for the World Masters Martial Arts Hall of Fame.
Good luck, and I hope you seize this rare opportunity to join some of our other Grand Master Martial Arts family members. Very few foreigners have ever been allowed to undergo this unique training.
Fire Meditation In Thailand at January 2024
This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, joining Enlightened Forest Monks, Grand Master Martial Artists, celebrities, and industry leaders from around the world. Very few foreigners have ever been allowed to participate, but special arrangements have been made for this course. You will be learning a highly advanced meditation technique from Enlightened Master A. Wongsakon.
It is a meditation technique that uses the fire element of the body to look directly into the mind. With the assistance of the Master’s pure energy, what you may be able to see is:
- Past Lives and release of past emotions recorded as energy deep in our minds.
- Mental Impurities in the form of reptiles, parasites or armies, soldiers and other creatures and forms.

What is
Techo Vipassana?
The Buddha called this phenomenon ‘Kilesas,’ and destroying these Kilesas in the mind is the most important thing we can do in our lives – to truly free ourselves from suffering. Burning Kilesas leads to mental purification and the arising of wisdom, ultimately resulting in liberation. This method of meditation is called Techo Vipassana or fire meditation, which is used to burn the impurities in the mind. Techo is quite different from the meditation practices you might learn in a yoga class, at a holiday resort, or through apps and YouTube.
Techo Vipassana means going to war within the mind, facing the mental impurities that reside there. It is indeed a battle between good and evil, the dark side and the light. You will learn to maintain an equanimous mind while the Techo Fire burns away the world of Kilesas that has been built within your body and mind.
The world we live in is filled with illusions and distractions, all meant to divert us from discovering the ultimate truth that resides within ourselves. We often find ourselves preoccupied with external matters, failing to realize that we are enslaved by the Kilesas within. Techo Vipassana Meditation, under the guidance of the high Masters, demands focus, concentration, determination, and unwavering perseverance.
Once you learn to practice the most powerful meditation method, each practice session becomes an opportunity to purify and liberate your mind, attain freedom, and access the ultimate wisdom and knowledge of the universe. Over these 7 days, you will be surrounded by monks and Masters who have walked the same path you are about to embark on.
Those with a resolute warrior’s mindset, willing to engage in this ultimate battle within, will transform their lives in ways they could never have imagined. You will come to genuinely comprehend the meaning of life, the significance of morality, the truth of karma, and the importance of performing good deeds and contributing to the betterment of the world.

It's easy to take a private taxi (using the Grab Taxi app) from your hotel to the meditation retreat for around $60 one way.
The accommodations at the Techo Meditation Retreat are very basic but clean and comfortable. They are set within the serene natural environment of a remote area of Thailand, approximately 90 minutes north of Bangkok. This will be like a one-week 'boot camp' for the mind with no smartphones, electronics, or other distractions allowed. Smartphones must be handed in at the center to avoid distractions; an emergency number will be provided by the center. The food is tasty and healthy, consisting of vegetarian meals for breakfast and lunch, and dinner for those who cannot fast for the third meal.

You should wear 'white meditation clothing' and have a couple of 'white shawls.' It's recommended to bring two outfits per day in case it's hot and you sweat.
