Claude Chouinard

founder

Creating and sharing happiness has always been Claude’s life mission. Through meaningful experiences and personal connection, he encourages a way of living that is authentic, mindful, and free from pressure.In 1992, Claude left behind a successful career in Canada to embark on a year-long spiritual journey. That journey extended into nearly eight years of self-discovery, during which he explored ancient wisdom traditions—including Ayurveda, which he encountered while traveling through India. This holistic science of life left a profound impression on him and quietly began shaping his path.

In 2000, Claude settled in Bali, drawn by the island’s healing energy and spiritual depth. He co-founded a day spa in Ubud, and in 2003, together with his partner Iyan, launched Oneworld Retreats—a space where thousands have since come to reflect, heal, and reconnect with their true selves.
