Nothing to fix. Everything to see
Live a month with Chi and people walking the same path. A supportive community in Tulum. Practice in daily life, not in isolation.
A short conversation to see if this is the right time — no sales pitch.
To be in the jungle and to survive by yourself, it's very rare. But to do it with another five people you will be more likely to survive than the person who goes alone.
Chi Om
A community without a teacher is shared housing. Chi is what makes this a community for practice — where the real work of growing can happen.
He lives in the community. Eats at the same table, works alongside everyone in the garden, the kitchen, the daily tasks. The practice is not what happens in the meditation hall. It is what happens at lunch, during cleanup, in the moment a real question surfaces.
25 years of practice means he can usually see what you are doing before you can. He says so. He does not soften it. That is the difference.
Do It Together
Most of us were taught to do our growing in private. Read the book. Take the course. Figure it out alone.
It does not work. That is not how a human being grows. A seed needs soil. A person with support is much more likely to succeed.
And the community is not only about growth. It is about living, every day, with people who see you and stay when it is hard. Most adults have not had this type of support since childhood. Here, it is the ordinary condition.
“Reading about swimming does not teach you to swim.”
Daily Life Is the Practice
Most people have already done the reading. The books, the courses, the workshops. The understanding is there. What is missing is a place to actually practice — in real life, with real people around you.
The real practice is what happens between people. How you relate to yourself and the person sitting across from you. The moment you catch yourself in an old pattern and do something different. That is where change happens.
Meditation, movement, and inquiry give the days structure. The rest is daily life: cooking, eating, working, disagreeing, sitting together in silence. This is what it looks like in practice.
Not Sure? Talk to Us
No forms, nothing complicated. Just a short conversation with Chi. If it is the right fit, you will know.
