Life Changing Experience I was struggling with the passing of my mother and I was using my phone as a distraction to avoid feeling the pain. I chose this retreat because it mentioned self-discovery and digital detox. I loved this retreat because it gave me the chance to fully relax and reconnect to myself. This retreat provided me with the nourishment I needed for my mind and body. I am now aware of the beliefs that were causing me so much suffering and I was able to heal that part of myself that was resisting my mother's death. Chi was an amazing mentor. His guidance has allowed me to reclaim my inner wisdom. He reminded me that I am here to experience the unfolding of life and happiness is finding peace and contentment with what is as it is. I have found much peace and clarity because of this. I will be forever grateful to Chi and his community for helping me heal myself.

It Is What It Is This is not the typical retreat, and I mean it positively. If comfort is what you’re looking for, this is not it. This is a place for inner reflection, for embracing discomfort, for challenging yourself to overcome the usual patterns. If you’re open to something different, then most probably you’ll experience moments of bliss and self-realization that are only possible when the mind can be still. Relaxing in the discomfort, appreciating what is as it is, being aware, witnessing the change within oneself, and learning how to rest, without running away from uncomfortable feelings or seeking distractions to not face them. I’m grateful for the experience and it will be interesting to witness how these teachings will manifest in daily life. Thank you all for this intense journey.

This experience was deeply transformational. I would highly recommend anyone who is ready to challenge their belief systems to go and stay with Chia and Chi. These two wonderful people make the retreat an unforgettable journey toward true knowledge of self. It challenges the way you think about everything; from food, exercise and yourself as well as towards others. The journey is very practical too, with various small assignments that are discussed in a group setting or in private if you wish. Deep insight into habits and current ways of thinking are discovered. Thoughts that may no longer serve you, but you also simply cannot let go of, are discussed. The surroundings are beautiful and there is plenty of time in nature. This place is not just a retreat you visit, it’s a place like no one else where everything is done, from food to exercise, to create the best environment for your personal growth to see the world as it is. Chi is an experienced teacher with endless energy to go over subjects and Chia creates a warm environment to feel safe and serves delicious food.

The retreat was life-changing, well-structured, inspiring, and immersive from start to finish. With delicious food, caring staff, and a full daily program of teaching, meditation, exercise, and rest, it created the perfect environment for growth.

This retreat is a profound opportunity to reconnect with yourself, question beliefs, and build healthy habits in a peaceful, natural setting. With Chi’s wisdom, Chia’s support, and a caring community, I gained clarity, mindfulness, and lasting tools for awakening, all supported by delicious food and a truly inspiring environment.
