Chai

"Aloha" Chai is a passionate explorer of nature, outdoor sports, and travel, always looking for fresh ways to experience and share the beauty of life. He lives with deep gratitude for the greatest gift of all: being alive. When he is not checking the daily wind forecast for windsurfing, kitesurfing, or sailing, he enjoys discovering the island’s best restaurants, scenic hikes, and bike trails. His curiosity also reaches into meditation, downshifting, and the transformative power of change.

Alongside a demanding career as a real estate developer, Chai consciously makes time to inspire others toward a more fulfilling work-life balance. He believes that an active, joyful lifestyle, paired with even the simplest meditation practices, is essential for keeping the inner fire alive and helping to prevent or ease fear, burnout, and emotional exhaustion. With his motivational spirit and creative approach to meditation, he has encouraged many guests to bring mindfulness into their daily lives. Through playful, effortless exploration of thought-free presence, some have even named this experience “Medilates.”

During our retreat weeks, Chai encourages open exchange, shared learning, and mutual inspiration as people navigate their own paths. Above all, he believes in meeting the world with an open heart and celebrating love, transformation, and meaningful connection. “One for all and all for one.”
