Experience immersive retreats, community events, and ecological restoration in a 40-acre nature preserve in Florida.
Set in the lush, sub-tropical environment across from the 22,000 acre St. Sebastian River Preserve, ChoZen is located in the heart of one of North America’s most biodiverse lagoon systems. Here we invite our global community across diverse disciplines and backgrounds to collaborate, cross-pollinate and share their unique skillsets, knowledge and wisdom with us.
We gather thought leaders, changemakers, community builders and placemakers from around the world who seek to explore regenerative systems and implement climate solutions. By reconnecting with the land and fully immersing our guests in a regenerative lifestyle, we provide a unique culture and vibrant environment to inspire positive change & transformation for future generations.
Our shared home is also home to approximately 10,000 species of flora and fauna and 25 endangered animals, including the Florida Panther. It serves as a nursing ground for our oceanic friends including lagoon fish and shellfish. Regular sightings of dolphins, manatees, wild turkeys, turtles, bobcats, hawks and more are a natural part of our daily life.

Letter From The Founders
Dear Friends, Partners, and Changemakers,
As we reflect on the journey of ChoZen Retreat evolving into the ChoZen Center for Regenerative Living (CCRL), 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. CCRL 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.
