"A beautiful and genuine spiritual place to host our retreat.
The food is literally from earth to table with a heavenly touch.
Our hostess Lauren was always ready to answer all of our questions and she made sure our stay and different activities were covered with everything we needed on time.
Amazing private spots around the property to take our participants through their journey, giving us all the privacy needed.
We felt supported at all times.
Thanks to Juan Carlos for taking care of us at meal times with the rest of the team.
Our visit to Sacred Kashi was a magical part of our retreat.

Experiences on Retreat
"My girlfriend and I just got back from a weekend at Chozen to celebrate our 1 year anniversary. The geo-dome we stayed in was clean and cozy. The grounds felt like we were secluded somewhere in Costa Rica. All the staff was amazing to us and treated us like family from the moment we got into until check out. Allie, Laura, JC, Corey, and Chef Londi were the best!"
"My experience at the Zen Den retreat Centre was exceptional. It was everything I needed, and then some. I participated in juicing, yoga, infrared saunas, ice baths, a colonic, and the best massages ever. I spent hours walking on the beach, swimming in the ocean, I went for bike rides, I napped, I meditated. I healed. I simply cannot say enough good things, especially about how fantastic the hosts are. If you’re considering booking a retreat, don’t hesitate to choose this one. It was literally life-changing for me. Thank you, Val and Ira! 😊🙏"
"A deeply restorative experience that goes beyond words. ChoZen is a real life example of regenerative living at a full scale. Experiencing what it is like to be part of a fully regenerative physical space, and community was a truly transformational experience. Everything from the gardens, the paths, the tents, the compost bathrooms, the community areas, is intentionally designed.
The delicious and nourishing regenerative farm-to-table meals. Mostly, experiencing it all with a community of truly exceptional, purpose-driven likeminded humans. Will never forget the deep conversations and meaningful songs we shared by the bonfire on a chilly Florida starry evening. "
"ChoZen is such a special place - at once natural, wild, lush but also so peaceful & serene. It is one of those places on the edge of humanity, but you feel a in completely different time & faraway land when you're there... it has such a lovely, unique sense of place.
The staff is WONDERFUL - so warm, welcoming and organized. I look forward to returning, many times, in the future!"
"Paola is amazingly knowledgeable about marine ecosystems and taught us so much while we enjoyed an evening paddle! We learned ways to detect the health of a marine environment with some tips for ways to get involved in improving the conditions. The trip itself was not too strenuous, very easeful and gorgeous! We saw lots of wildlife and felt safe at all times. "
"Another great day with plenty of people. Lots of raised beds assembly was done. We learned about Composting and that was very good and the food served was delicious. See u this Friday again:)"
"Great visit. The place is wonderful and so are the people running the place. I had the opportunity to have lunch after volunteering for a couple of hours. It was a great experience and the food grown on their property was delicious.
I look forward to holding a retreat there and attending their retreats. "
"Great job! So nice to be with my Kashi friends and meet new people from Chozen
"
"Wow!! I had the best time at ChoZen x Sophlow's Full Moon Yoga & Ecstatic Dance event. Every single moment exceeded my expectations, from the food to the decor to the yoga and dance facilitation. The sound bath experience at the end of yoga was phenomenal, the food was excellent, and the staff and attendees were absolutely delightful! The ambiance was immaculate and I am in love with the grounds. Once I arrived, I never wanted to leave. I appreciate the incredible attention to detail in every aspect of the ChoZen experience and what they stand for. Everyone on staff was an absolute dream to interact with. I don't think I could have asked for more from the experience, and I cannot wait to go back. A deep and sincere THANK YOU!"
"The whole community was very welcoming and kind with a beautiful estate to hold the ceremonies. The sound bath was my favorite part of the whole experience, it fully immerses you into a journey through the sounds of nature. A truly enlightening experience for people of all ages and backgrounds, as a beginner in the spiritual world it was an amazing introduction."
"It’s hard to believe such an oasis exists in Florida, from the moment you drive through the front arch, tension flows from your being
The beauty and the respect for the environment is visceral!
We had the opportunity to be a part of the sound healing and it was everything you could want.. What a true blessing to be in attendance.
My deepest gratitude for the visit,
James Hunley"
"I attended a sound bath/ecstatic dance and the experience was amazing. Starting with the location, wow! I thought I was in the middle of nature in Costa Rica, definitely not Sebastian, FL. The wildlife & scenery was beautiful! We had a great meal which included many vegan/vegetarian options, all very delicious! Then a wonderful event including yoga, sound healing and dance. I will definitely be returning to Chozen for more events and retreats in the future!"
"My friends and I celebrated a birthday at this event. We had a wonderful time reconnecting with ourselves and nature. Chozen is a beautiful space and feels like a sacred space. The food is delicious and nourishing. We enjoyed the evening very much with like minded people. More power to Chozen."
"My first time volunteering at the Hayden so I didn’t know what to expect…, lots of friendly people; good energy and enjoyed getting my hands dirty and helping to re-camp a garden that was left untouched during the pandemic. "
" The Harvest Dedication was heartfelt and beautiful. The Farm to Table Meal was delicious. There was a variety of foods to please everyone.
I totally enjoyed the evening. Thank you Tony, Sharada, Ganga Devi and staff for a great evening. Kudos to you!!! Love Kali Shyama"
"Spending time in a retreat at Chozen is like stopping time to let go, float, and feel renewed. Nothing better!"
"Chozen is an extraordinary and serene paradise located on the Saint Sebastian River. Everything from the staff to the host and hostess are welcoming and gracious. I would highly recommend anyone if they have the opportunity to attend a retreat or gathering at Chozen. You will not be disappointed! Love and light, Diane"
"Loved the anniversary ceremony by the Love Garden very much. and enjoyed the dinner afterward. The general atmosphere at Chozen was warm and welcoming surrounded by beautiful nature."
"Moti did a great job of sharing a very helpful overview of our Lunch & Learn topic, Regenerative Agriculture, in this first of a series session which will be diving more deeply into this important topic. Thanks to all the staff for creating a very comfortable, delicious, and welcoming event. The setting and facilities are amazing. I look forward to returning again next month!"
"Great place to create beautiful gardens and great people to work with! it is a big far for me otherwise zi would be there every week!Thank you for the excellent lecture of regenerative agriculture!
Moti is very passionate about tje soil and how to improve it if we want to exist for coming generations!
Thank you again for giving me the opportunity to be there!😍"
"This was my first time to Chozen and I already have plans to come back! The accommodations are gorgeous and the grounds are natural, peaceful and serene. The staff are wonderful and welcoming. I had the privilege of meeting the owners who are the embodiment of this friendly, spiritual retreat. i look forward to seeing more!"
"Venue was absolutely amazing and the yoga was a very different (but lovely) flow than I’m used to. Can’t wait to check out future events. Main complaints were The lighting was poor to the food truck which was understaffed, the wait was about 15 minutes at least which took away from time at the retreat. The host/hostess were served before many in line for their nourishment although it was a ticketed event. Opening circle took time away from dancing as there were about 50 people introducing themselves."
"I volunteered during one of their Fleet Farming Friday sessions and it was so wonderful to meet the people involved in driving regenerative practices and farm/garden-to-table meals and experiences. Such a magical oasis, the land is alive and energy is contagious ✨
I look forward to spending more time at Chozen, #inspired with their vision and progress!!! Thank you for being a leader in the community and in the wider state of Florida! 🪴👩🏼🌾⛲️🌴🎋🏕️"
"I absolutely loved the community, very educational, beautiful mission. The only thing I would change is maybe doing some Saturday fleet farming so I could come more often. Either way absolutely I will definitely come once a month for Fridays. "
"I had a wonderful time pulling weeds on the grounds of By the River. What a great gathering of people assembled to tend the land and prepare it for regenerative farming. There was excitement in the air as we each chose a piece of earth to pull weeds from and get it ready to grow organic food. Afterwards, we had a delicious lunch made with organic vegetables and listened to a very informative presentation from Moti on regenerative farming. She was an excellent presenter and very knowledgeable. I enjoyed the experience and was glad I went."
"The retreat is located next to a preserve, so it feels like you are in a jungle away from everything. Everything is tastefully done, and the staff is very friendly. I highly recommend it. "
"My experience at Chozen Retreat Sanctuary was truly transformative. From the moment I arrived, it was evident that their mission to protect Mother Nature and its inhabitants was at the core of everything they do. The immersive and educational experiences they offer opened my eyes to the beauty of our natural environment and the importance of preserving it.
The variety of unique programming and events provided a deep connection to the land, as well as the opportunity to connect with other individuals on a profound level. It was a time of relaxation, rejuvenation, and adventure, perfectly aligned with the season of transformation.
What struck me most about Chozen was their commitment to co-creating and coexisting with nature. The sanctuary is a testament to their dedication to ecological balance and wildlife preservation. It's evident that they are building not just a retreat but a vision for the humanity of the future…
I'm looking forward to returning to the Chozen Sanctuary for future adventures, experiences, and projects. The sense of community, the respect for nature, and the opportunity for personal growth make it a place unlike any other. It is truly a haven for those seeking a deeper connection with the natural world and with themselves."
"Paradise at last!"
"The property is in the heart of Florida on the East coast minutes from the ocean. The history of this place is unbeatable with over 40 years of yoga, meditation, and real gurus that have graced the property. There is magic here, the people working the land are true and genuine, the different spaces are gorgeous. There is a body of water, and the food is incredible, local, and organic. I can’t wait to host a retreat here! "
