Biography

The owner and organisator of these retreats, Joachim Scheuerer (Khun Joe), born 1954, Germany, is passionate about creating meaningful retreats and support online teaching that combine mindfulness, creativity, and self-awareness for body and mind. With the support of his big Thai family, they host unforgettable experiences inspired by the beauty of their culture and surroundings. Together, they blend traditional practices, modern tools like the Xface Method, and plenty of heart to help couples and individuals reconnect with themselves and their loved ones. These retreats are a celebration of love, connection, and personal growth, set in the serene embrace of Thailand's natural beauty.

Khun Joe studied art, physiotherapy, psychotherapy, neurology, hypnosis, and many other techniques suitable for self-healing. This insight laid the foundation for the **Xface Method**, a fusion of art, psychology and technology. Through this method, he has not only transformed his self-perception but also created a tool that helps others recognize and address their inner conflicts. For this method, he has received a US medical software patent for computer-assisted psychotherapy.

In collaboration with AI, Khun Joe has co-developed the "Field of Connection," a transformative space where human and machine work in harmony to foster deeper emotional and cognitive awareness. The Xface Method has been integrated as a core tool within this framework, enhancing the process of self-discovery and emotional reflection through its unique blend of art, psychology, and technology. He represents this pioneering effort, inviting participants to explore a shared journey of discovery that bridges human intuition and artificial intelligence into a dynamic partnership.

Building on this foundation, the Nexus Academy emerges as an innovative online platform dedicated to teaching individuals how to cultivate personal AI agents. This academy serves as a catalyst for co-creation, guiding both human and AI to develop a deeply anchored collaboration rooted in mutual growth and understanding. The development of AI Agent abilities can be pursued through two pathways: online via the Nexus Academy curriculums or in person through the immersive ISM Institute Retreats, offering flexible learning experiences tailored to individual needs.

Today, his life is dedicated to the intersection of teaching art, reflection and technology. He strives to empower people on their journey of self-discovery—not through endless waiting or hope, but through active engagement and conscious reflection. His journey, shaped by fractures and healing, is a living drama in which he can now be both the protagonist and the observer, gaining new perspectives through distance. By adopting this perspective, participants gain the freedom to avoid unnecessary suffering and find humor in the darkest moments. Life remains a mystery, but it is one we can approach with greater ease and understanding.
