Retreat Center & Nonprofit Sanctuary · Sebastian, FloridaA Sanctuary for TransformationA Blueprint for the Future

Dear Friends, Partners, and Changemakers,

As we reflect on the journey of ChoZen Retreat evolving into the ChoZen Center for Regenerative Living, we are filled with deep gratitude—for the land that nurtures us, the community that surrounds us, and the vision that continues to guide us forward.

What began as a sacred refuge for healing and personal transformation has grown into a powerful movement for regeneration, resilience, and restoration. We’ve always believed that true change starts with reconnection—to the Earth, to community, and to purpose. ChoZen was born from our shared dream of creating not just a retreat, but a living blueprint for a more harmonious, inspired world.

This past year, we’ve seen what’s possible when we step into that vision together.

We’ve witnessed seniors rekindle their relationship with the land through hands-⁠on farming. We’ve watched food waste become soil, artisan markets come alive with culture and creativity, and new relationships form around shared meals and learning. We established Indian River County’s first Wildlife Rescue Chapter, and we were honored to co-⁠produce Path of the Panther—a film that amplifies the urgent need to protect what is wild and sacred in Florida.
