The Pilot is dedicated to those who are in the stage of laying the foundation for their project; anyone who creates or wants to create happy experiences, adventures or places can nominate their project.

We work in groups to learn and grow faster. The Pilot starts every 2 months with a group of up to 10 projects that in the first 4 months follow a common work program divided into 16 stages to prepare their idea and figure out how to grow it

What

Experiences

By experiences we mean activities of a few hours or a day, for example, hikes, nature dives, sports activities, workshops, events, discussions, and so on.

We are particularly interested in experiences that manage to condense strong educational and transformative value in a short time

Icon Chi Creators

Who

Happy places

Happy places are the places that transform people. They can be of many kinds, we can think of eco-villages, mountain refuges, educational farms, permaculture farms, all the way to table sports "houses," and so on. A Place can also be understood as a community, a hamlet for example

What

Adventures

By adventures we mean multi-day experiences, such as walking, hiking, bikepacking, or sailing. We look for adventures that are slow, active, and responsible to places and people, and that can inspire those who experience them to care for the world and themselves.
