ChoZen

From a planner's perspective, this was the smoothest, most enjoyable 3 day company retreat to plan and from an attendee's perspective this was the most beautiful retreat, surrounded by the most lovely group of people who do everything with genuine care and attentiveness. I recently planned and hosted our company retreat with ChoZen. They hosted 25 of us for 3 days of unforgettable moments. From the very first email I sent, I received such seamless communication from David who promptly set up a call to take me through the beautiful retreat and help me envisage what our company retreat with ChoZen could look like, totally customisable and able to adapt to exactly what we were looking for. From there, every single person I met and worked with at ChoZen was amazing. I want to name each and every person I can as every single one of them made a difference to our stay! Alena, who was my main contact in terms of operations, was so easy to work with, so communicative and calm, reassuring and made sure everything went off without a hitch throughout our entire stay. Christina, Lola, Grace, Bruce & Corey worked tirelessly throughout our whole stay to make sure we had absolutely everything we needed at all times, whether it was freshly made cookies for our workshops or moving our whole dinner setup because of the weather or even giving us lifts around the retreat on the golf carts whenever we needed! Every interaction with you was such a delight and made a genuine impact on our stay. Chef Brian - Who created the most incredible food throughout our stay. Almost three weeks on and the team still talk about how amazing the food was. Such delicious flavours made with such love and presented beautifully, we definitely did not go hungry! And Marc!!!! Marc made our stay what it was, he was so caring, funny and beyond helpful, nothing was ever too much and he was always looking for ways to improve our stay but also to make sure we all understood where we were and how special ChoZen Retreat and the mission they are working hard to achieve is. And, of course, Sadie. Lola's sweet pup, you made everyones day better! Thank-you so much for everything, all of you. And if you are considering hosting a retreat a ChoZen... you are so lucky for what you are about to experience!

Absolutely go!!! Your soul will thank you. Chozen is an extraordinary place to connect with nature, practice living in community, and learn about regenerative living. The wildlife sightings, in particular, blew my mind! We saw an eagle, dolphins, alligators, great blue herons, a ton of songbirds, and the cutest cows grazing happily in their pasture. There is a lot to learn from its visionary founder Tony Cho, and all the heart-centered people who gravitate to Chozen. Many people were there on different retreats, and we all connected over delicious healthy meals prepared with locally-grown food. The staff is welcoming, always there to help, and brightened my day every day! I went to Chozen’s Safari Weekend and the Vendor Market and had soooo much fun! It was so dreamy biking around the geodesic domes going from sunrise birding in the forest to morning fitness class to permaculture tour to kayaking to spa time to bonfire concert. The local vendor market had amazing jewelry, beauty products, and natural medicines. We enjoyed a heartwarming concert of legendary folk musicians all afternoon that day, too! These were three perfect days of slowing down, being fully present, open to new connections, and practicing healthy living. The schedule is well spaced out so you can find your own flow and join the group when you want without feeling rushed. I didn’t want to leave, and will definitely be back.

Our team of 25 just returned from a 3-day company retreat at Chozen Retreat, and I honestly don’t have enough words to describe how incredible this place is. From the moment we arrived, we knew we were somewhere truly special!!! The grounds are absolutely breathtaking — every view feels like a postcard. You can tell so much thought and care went into creating this serene environment. They even have cows who love jazz!! It’s the perfect backdrop for both team building and personal reflection. The food was beyond amazing — fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with love. The villas are beautifully designed and incredibly comfortable. It really felt like a luxury experience while maintaining that warm, welcoming atmosphere. But what truly made this experience unforgettable was the staff, especially Marc. The level of care, thoughtfulness, and genuine kindness they showed our entire group was extraordinary. They anticipated our needs before we even knew we had them and went above and beyond at every turn. Marc and the team made each of us feel like we were their most important guests. By day three, none of us wanted to leave. Thank you for giving our team such a special experience!

Where do I begin??? If you’re thinking about it - DO IT. I got to attend a 4 day retreat at Chozen. This place is so much more than I could’ve imagined. EVERY detail has intention behind it. From the land, the farm, lodging, amenities and community. I couldn’t be more grateful to have had the opportunity to experience Chozen. Marc and his team were absolutely incredible. 1. The food was amazing. Lots of ingredients that came directly from their farm onsite. Chef Brian’s culinary arts are so thoughtful & you can truly taste the pure quality. 2. The site is beautiful. You can tell a lot of genuine work goes into preserving and creating a place where people can truly feel welcomed, safe and at peace. The energy is something I noticed the most. 3. Thank you so much to your beautiful and kind team. It is clear they love what they do and put a LOT of tender care into every step. The level of support they gave was truly unmatched. I would recommend Chozen to everyone! Truly magical 🩷

I stayed here for the fall Equinox Retreat, it was Amazing. My body fully relaxed into nature, the sounds and beautiful landscape was medicine, as they say. The staff was warm and welcoming, the accommodations beautiful and comfortable, not to mention the safety in community I felt, and joy. The sound bath experience was one I’ll never forget, as I felt my life force energy move and expand. This is a sacred Magical place, I’m very thankful to have found.
