The Butterfly Program

You don't need
to be fixed.

Everything that creates the noise in your mind — anxiety, overthinking, depression, reactivity, addiction — comes from one source. The Butterfly Program shows you what it is. Gives you the practice that dissolves it. And reveals the true, peaceful you. Three paths. One result.

Path 1 · Most immersive

14-Day Retreat

Fourteen nights at Zen Jungle, guided through the full progression from foundation to integration.

Path 2 · At your own pace

22-Day Home Course

A self-directed digital programme delivered progressively over twenty-two days. Fits into your actual life.

Path 3 · Start here

The Book

A complete introduction to the Butterfly framework, written for a general audience. Start here if you're not ready for the programme yet.

The Sovereign Community

A life,
not a lifestyle.

Forty acres in Devon. A small group of people raising children, growing food, making decisions together — and building something that outlasts us.

Not a retreat. Not a commune. A life, organised differently — for people who have begun the inner work, and who want the outer life to finally fit.

What it is

Peace first. Then everything else.

Members arrive with the inner work underway — or willing to begin it. The outer life only works when the mind no longer generates the friction.

Who it's for

Steady people, already moving.

Not utopia-seekers. Not escapees. People who have already begun, who recognise the work for what it is, and who can contribute without keeping score.

How to begin

A mirror before a door.

An hour of honest self-inquiry with an AI-hosted assessment. It tells you — and us — whether this is the right fit. No obligation either way.

What's on

What's On

Retreats, ceremonies, sessions, and experiences throughout the year.

What an amazing place to stay. Truly is Zen. We had two young children with us who loved it too. Very close to other activities if you wish to venture out. And loads of amazing beaches to drive to. Overall a very cool place. And would definitely recommend jumping in the lake for a swim. Thanks for having us :)

Beautifully renovated cabin, immaculately clean and fitted to a high standard. Warm, cosy and plenty of hot water. Peaceful setting with far reaching views. The site felt private and all the extra buildings, including a bar were beautifully crafted. Thank you for a lovely stay.

This book is exceptional, highly recommended for anyone seeking embodied transformation rather than mere inspiration. It distills the core teachings and themes of the Zen Jungle path with clarity, depth, and heart. What is presented here is life-changing material. I’m deeply grateful to Jason “Jungle” and the entire team who not only crafted this book but also built the larger Zen ecosystem and program that it reflects. Their work is visionary, practical, and is more than a read; it as an initiation. A pathway into connection with the vibrant community that surrounds the Zen Jungle experience. If you feel the pull, follow it. The journey is worth it.

Magical stay! We stayed here for a few days as a small group (a couple, our dog, and an elderly family member) to truly retreat from busy London life, and it delivered exactly what we needed and more. Zen Jungle Retreat is a peaceful, welcoming, almost magical place that really comes alive in its quietness. The estate is vast, and the hosts encouraged us to explore, which we thoroughly enjoyed during our walks with our dog. Our cabin was beautifully furnished, spotless, and equipped to the highest standards. The hosts were extremely responsive and shared some excellent recommendations. The on-site bar offered a lovely opportunity to relax and meet others, providing a perfect balance for anyone seeking a sense of community alongside solitude. Hoping to return again!

What a truly wonderful and special space — you feel such positive energy the moment you step inside. We were treated to the most beautiful sunrise and sunset views, spent our evenings stargazing, and loved unwinding in the sauna. The setting is incredibly peaceful, with lovely walks straight from the property and nature all around you. The bar is so cool, with great drinks and a relaxed atmosphere, and the family who run the place are absolutely wonderful — warm, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what they’ve created. A really memorable stay and a place we’d love to return to.

Stayed here for 5 nights with my children 21 & 23 and was very impressed. The lodges are finished to a very high standard with all mod cons and beautifully furnished. From breakfast on the decking to star gazing at night it was a wonderful haven and so peaceful and relaxing. We used the sauna one evening combined with a lake swim which was enjoyed by all of us. I also booked the Nidra Yoga in the beautiful yurt with Hannah which was an amazing experience and can recommend. Thank you Hannah & Jason I will be back :)
