chuckthemonk.com I am Chuck!Chuck the monk. This is our purring machine for empty fun! Like any other entity, I am the outcome of interdependence. CHUCK THE MONK

I was created in the
minds, hearts and hands of two friends (Diego and Carlos) who are having a lot of
fun with my adventures. Currently I am the main character in their comic strip. I was always interested in consciousness, the mind, who we are and how all that stuff
works, so I ended up being a well trained but poorly skilled brain scientist. Along that
pathway I discovered Buddhism and became a

modern monk. Then subjective knowledge and intuition started their own path in my life. This of course leads to a variety of situations,
thoughts and feelings that are reflected in this strip. They mostly involve a dialectic
relation between science and spirituality, the perks of being a lay monk, dealing with
passions, meditation retreats, living Buddhism in west cultures, work, moral dilemmas and of course, a lot of love and compassion. This project has a very organic development that is growing out of it self. Me and the
guys are kind of discovering with great curiosity and joy, where it will take us. We feel
very happy about communicating and inspiring both thoughts and feelings in other
sentient beings.

🐈 Soft Body, Sharp Mind — Lessons from Cats
A short retreat with purring

Come for movement, stillness, and curiosity.
Stay for connection, presence, and a warm, nourishing time together.

We gather in a beautiful garden at a lovingly restored old mill — a place filled with warmth, character, and quiet calm, nestled in the surroundings of Beniarbeig.

🤸‍♀️ Maria will guide you through gentle, cat-inspired yoga and a short meditation, inviting you to soften, stretch, breathe, and reconnect — with yourself, with others, and with the silent wisdom of feline presence.

🍪 We pause for a short break with a light snack — time to relax, connect, and enjoy the space.

😺 Here & Meow — A Presumptuous Talk by a Humble Monk
Carlos, a neuroscientist and Zen monk with a proudly feline-compulsive nature, will share the Zen secrets cats refuse to tell us. In a playful and insightful talk, he explores the striking parallels between cat behavior, brain science, and contemplative practice.

Cats are silent Zen teachers — if we know how to listen.

We look forward to welcoming you. 🐱🙏🪷💕
