This Advanced Meditation Training in Bali is designed for experienced meditation practitioners who feel ready to go beyond their usual practice.
It may be for you if you:
• already have a regular meditation practice and want to go deeper
• have completed a 100-hour or 200-hour meditation or meditation teacher training
• are a meditation or yoga teacher who wants to deepen your personal practice
• want to explore advanced meditation techniques and spiritual practices

Previous meditation training is recommended but not required for experienced practitioners with a strong and regular personal practice.
A previous 10-day Vipassana retreat can be helpful but is optional.
What You’ll Learn & Experience
During this 100-Hour Advanced Meditation Training, you will explore meditation not only as a technique, but as a deeper practice of awareness, self-discovery and inner transformation.
You will work with:
• advanced meditation techniques
• periods of silence and contemplation
• mantra and sacred sound
• pranayama and conscious breathing
• yoga and Qi Gong as meditative movement
• Eastern philosophy and spiritual teachings
• concentration and awareness practices
• self-inquiry and personal reflection
• gratitude and reflective journaling
• Swadharma — exploring your individual path and purpose
• practices supporting compassion, self-love and inner balance
• special spiritual practices and selected evening programs
There will also be time for questions, discussion and personal guidance throughout the training.
More Than a Training — An Immersive Meditation Experience
For eight days, meditation becomes part of your entire day.
Mornings begin with journaling, gratitude, meditation, silence and mantra, followed by yoga, Qi Gong and pranayama.
During the day, you will explore advanced meditation practices, Eastern philosophy, self-inquiry and special teachings with Punnu.
Meals also become part of the practice. Through silent and conscious eating, you are invited to slow down, stay present and bring awareness into simple everyday activities.
Periods of contemplation give you time to absorb the teachings, reflect on your experiences and notice what is happening within you.
Some evenings may include special programs, meditation, reflection or time for rest and integration.
Two optional 4:00am meditation sessions will also be offered for participants who would like to experience meditation during the deep stillness of the early morning.
The daily program may change slightly according to the needs and energy of the group.
What You May Take Away From the Training
Every person experiences meditation differently. This training creates the conditions for you to explore your own experience deeply.
You may develop:
• a deeper and more consistent meditation practice
• greater awareness of your thoughts, emotions and inner patterns
• stronger concentration, presence and inner awareness
• a deeper understanding of meditation and Eastern philosophy
• practical tools for bringing meditation and spiritual practice into everyday life
• greater clarity around your personal path, values and purpose
• a deeper connection with yourself
• greater trust in your own meditation practice
• meaningful connections with a community of like-minded practitioners
The intention is not to tell you what you should believe or experience, but to give you practices, guidance and space to explore meditation directly for yourself.

Punnu Wasu
Punnu Wasu was born and raised in India in a family deeply connected to spirituality, devotion and Kirtan, and these early influences became the foundation of a lifelong inner journey and a deep exploration of meditation, spiritual practice and holistic healing.
With more than 35 years of experience in meditation, yoga and holistic healing practices, and more than 50 years of experience in Kirtan and singing, Punnu is today an internationally experienced meditation and yoga teacher, Reiki Grand Master, Kirtan singer, multi-instrumentalist and spiritual guide. Before he began teaching, he dedicated more than 20 years to his own personal meditation and spiritual practice, deepening his experience through study, exploration and direct practice. His meditation teaching today draws on decades of personal experience with meditation, breathwork, mantra, self-inquiry, energy work and other spiritual practices.
Rather than asking students to follow one fixed path or accept someone else’s truth, Punnu encourages them to turn inward, explore through direct experience and discover what feels true and meaningful for themselves. For him, meditation is not only about sitting in silence. It is a journey into greater awareness, presence and self-understanding, and a way of becoming more open, alive, joyful and deeply connected to life. His teaching is experiential, open and grounded in curiosity, creating space for students to explore deeply while developing their own relationship with meditation and spiritual practice.
Punnu also sees himself as a lifelong student of life. He continues to practice, learn and explore, and loves discovering new approaches, experiences and perspectives that can deepen both his own journey and his teaching.
Based between Bali and Switzerland, Punnu teaches globally, both in person and online.
At the heart of his approach is a simple invitation: travel within, explore deeply and discover your own truth.
