30 Day Return to Presence & Deep Connection Retreat, Mexico

I am a sincere explorer of truth, dedicated to live consciously, simply and authentically. ​My journey began in a dark place. Life wasn’t delivering anymore, and I reached a point where I had to make a choice: make a radical change or give up completely. I chose to change, and that decision brought me from darkness into light. ​Through my transformative journey and wisdom gained from teachers and personal experiences, I've learned that true happiness and love for the world reside within us, and that freedom only exists in the present moment. By observing my thoughts and feelings, I've discovered the power of presence and connection to oneself. I support myself through others in confronting fear, releasing limiting beliefs, and reconnecting with our true essence. I am passionate about living a conscious life with a community—a space where people can connect, grow, and live in harmony. My gift lies in inquiring into the nature of the mind and offering insights that awaken self-awareness. In this community, I envision to inspire connection, simplicity, and awareness as we co-create a life rooted in clarity, presence, and resilience. Bio Chi was born in 1971 in Israel, making him 54 years old. He has a 25-year-old son and a two-year-old daughter. Chi grew up in a kibbutz in Israel, a form of community where people share living spaces and work together. This communal upbringing shaped his early understanding of community life and collective support. At the age of 18, Chi joined the army and served for three years. A pivotal experience during his military service was observing how one mind could dominate another, each side believing they were right and fighting for peace through conflict. This realization sparked Chi's journey toward self-realization, recognizing that true peace must be achieved through peaceful means, not war. Following his military service, Chi embarked on a profound quest for self-realization, driven by an inner yearning to understand himself and find true contentment. His journey took him to the Far East, where he immersed himself in various communities dedicated to spiritual growth and self-awareness. These communities ranged from ashrams led by gurus to business-oriented groups requiring investment for participation. The most influential community for Chi was one where individuals worked on themselves to recognize their inner freedom, allowing everyone to be their authentic selves and contribute uniquely to a unified, supportive environment. Chi's quest for self-realization was not without challenges. The most difficult aspect was the loneliness of walking the path alone, as his ego constantly offered excuses for why he couldn't recognize his true self and transform his conditioning. Despite these struggles, Chi persevered, driven by a deep desire for inner freedom. Through his transformative journey and wisdom gained from teachers, different practices and personal experiences, He has learned that true happiness and love for the world reside within us, and we can all connect to this simple yet profound realization.
