OUR VISION
From climate disruption to social fragmentation, from extractive economies to spiritual disconnection, we are witnessing the limits of an old paradigm. Our cities are expanding, yet our sense of connection is shrinking. We produce more, but nourish less. We innovate, but often without integrity or regeneration.
Florida is one of the most vulnerable—and therefore one of the most vital—places to reimagine the way we live with the Earth. Here, amidst rising waters and vanishing wetlands, we are called not to retreat, but to redesign.
It’s time to move from fear to vision. From collapse to creativity. From extraction to regeneration.
“The future belongs
to those who regenerate.
This is our moonshot
for the Earth.”
— Tony Cho, Co-Founder
“Our greatest opportunity
is to honor and live in balance
with Mother Earth.”
— Ximena Cho, Co Founder

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.
