ChoZen Retreat - Sebastian, Florida

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.

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all the wonderful souls we had the pleasure of meeting this weekend. A huge thank you to the entire staff at Chozen for their outstanding work—the food, the attention to detail, and everyone’s warm and welcoming attitude were truly exceptional and rare to find these days.
To the other guests we connected with, thank you for sharing your positive energy and good vibes. It was truly a magical and unforgettable weekend.
And Tony, congratulations on creating such a beautiful and special space. We will be back. Ana & Hugo

Go. here. now.

I’ve been to their monthly cosmic alchemy events and stayed. The spaces are beautiful, calming and are a boho chic dream. If you go on a date where they have ecstatic dance please make sure to participate. Your body will feel all nice after. They also do other offerings.

Make sure to do the permaculture tour and they will feed you yummy plants, you will learn a lot and feel like a little kid again. The chef always explains the dishes well and where the ingredients are sourced from and the salad is the best I’ve had because it comes from their garden.

Also assure to walk barefoot it’s easier to slow down and take it all in if you do.

I’ve stayed at the Lodge and the bed is so comfy, rooms are clean, bathrooms are clean.

And lastly thanks to Tony Cho and team. I really like how he makes sure to be present at the events.

The Chozen experience feels limited by 5 stars because it is beyond. No words or stars can possibly describe a feeling that can only be had with resonance so deep that it touches your core and very being. The Chozen team are all living examples of lives well lived, in alignment with their mission to serve the planet and the humans that live within it now and for generations to come. Every moment and detail is planned with utmost intention and care. Every team member serves guests in a way that makes you feel right at home. The meals were healthy and delicious and offered so much variety. The accommodations were comfortable and relaxing. Riding bikes around the property and getting lost in the trees only to discover more beauty is like being a kid again. l can’t say enough. It’s the best experience you can offer to those you love including yourself. At worst, you have one of the best weekends of your life. At best you are met with your life’s calling. Go and see for yourself!!!

I have been to Chozen on more than a dozen retreats over the past few years. The place has its own natural magic but the amenities, the experiences, the food, and the amazing team makes every retreat unique and unforgettable. The moment you drive in, you feel a sense of peace and calm, a feeling that pretty much stays with you during your entire time. I've stayed in the safari tents, the domes, and airstream, and you really can't go wrong with any accommodation. Outside showers are the best. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to attend or organize a retreat. Don't forget the bug spray and most importantly, be careful not to step on any ant mounds.

It was a great experience visiting and staying at Chozen, the staff was very welcoming and they made you feel at home. The acomodations were great and the food excellent! The best part was the dinner next to the river with the bonfire with live music!

I absolutely adore this place. As a vendor at their beautiful artisan markets, I can honestly say this is both my best market and my favorite one. What a gorgeous environment for a market. And SO many good vibes. I feel incredibly lucky to be a part of something so perfect, but to also benefit monetarily from it?! Amazing!
Surround yourself with nature, enjoy hypnotizingly soothing music, and visit wonderful local artisan vendors every second Sunday from October to May 10-5.
Also, these markets are just a fraction of all the magical events ChoZen Retreat offers.
Allow yourself to drift on over to their website for event details.

We stayed at the lodge for a 1 night 2 day retreat and it was perfect. We were very comfortable, rooms where cozy, the house is spacious and warm, everything was clean for our arrival. Food was delicious and from farm to table. Being surrounded by beautiful nature is so magic. Loved it and the spaces where perfect for our group activities.
