At A Glance
Community Empowers Us All
Community of PACK Life is a unique blend of sociological and psychological insights into human nature, coupled with a deep acknowledgment of the unexplained marvels of the Universe that surround us.
​
Founded by Benji Dezaval, also known as Dez, the Community of PACK Life reconnects us with our innate desire to form meaningful bonds while establishing psychologically and spiritually healthy foundations. With a vision to foster deep social connections and promote holistic personal growth, we believe that together, we can rise stronger as a unified collective than we ever could as individuals.
​
Our mission is to offer a broad spectrum of activities, educational programs, and events that cater to the diverse interests and needs of our fellow PACK members.
​
Join us and become a vital part of our journey towards building a stronger, more connected Community.
"With over 15+ Gatherings a month, an accepting approach to the way the Universe speaks to you personally, and a safe space that welcomes conversation but protects the sanctity of the safety provided, it's my hope that you can find that sense of belonging here.
I want everyone to find their second family; to meet brothers, sisters, and kin alike who they can trust and grow alongside. We didn't get to where we are today as a species to suffer in quiet and be alone. We are meant to link arms and revel in our existence together. United."
-Teopixqui Dez

Teopixqui Dez
Director & Lead Guide
Hello, I am Teopixqui Dez (pronounced Teh-Oh-Pea-Key), and I am honored to serve as the Lead Director of the Community of PACK Life.
​
I firmly believe that true community stands in opposition to the isolating forces of capitalism. As we grapple with the economic, psychological, and spiritual challenges of our time, it’s clear that our division is not accidental. There are forces at work that seek to absorb our time and energy, hindering meaningful growth and change.
​
My background in psychology, coupled with profound spiritual experiences, has led me to seek ways to bring us together. Through thought-provoking conversation and spiritual enrichment, I believe we can each discover our strongest, most authentic selves.
​
The Community of PACK Life isn’t about me providing answers to the mysteries of the Universe; it’s about empowering each of us to become the most complete and genuine versions of ourselves. Together, we can develop the tools necessary to uncover our own truths.
