ChoZen x namūna ~ A Spring Salon | 2024 [Video]

During the last weekend of March 2024, ChoZen Eco-Retreat & Sanctuary co-founders Tony & Ximena Cho collaborated with namūna to invite global changemakers to explore a new leadership approach, with nature as the guiding force in our spiritual development at ChoZen Retreat. This gathering took place on Easter weekend, an auspicious time just after the Spring Equinox, during Ramadan and before Passover.

namūna x ChoZen’s theme for this Spring Salon contemplated the future of spirituality in a post-religious world. Our co-creators Zach Bell & Elyse Lee with namūna brought together 53 scholars, elders, philosophers, artists, practitioners, patrons and community leaders for a thoughtfully curated and participatory program to begin to unravel the following questions:

∆ What is the role of the spiritual leader in our modern day?
∆ Is there such a thing as a clear “path” in an age of mixing modalities?
∆ How do we navigate a path of service in a capitalist world?
∆ How do we successfully build communities, land projects, and retreat centers?

We practiced interfaith rituals, explored deep inquiries with some of the greatest minds, we cried, we danced, and we came together as a collective with a shared vision.

We are looking forward to continuing this conversation with our community as we announce the 2025 dates in collaboration with namūna in the coming months through our newsletter and invite you to join us at the next gathering…

Immense gratitude to our co-creators for this powerful weekend: Professor Ramsay Taum, Adam Roa, Jamie Wheal, Paul M Kuhn, , Sofia Thom, Gil Penchina, Jess Hundley, Zach Bell, Elyse Lee, Lulu Chaire, Daniel Pinchbeck, Rachel Rossito, Jai Dev, Fatima Robinson, Swami Jaya Devi, Ganga Devi Braun, Baelyn Elspeth & Intelligent Change +++ more
