Apply for the Rafael Moreno Scholarship
The Rafael Moreno Scholarship is a heartfelt tribute to ChiBall® Master Trainer Rafael Moreno—whose passion for movement, generosity of spirit, and love of life continue to inspire our global community. This scholarship supports individuals dedicated to sharing movement and mindfulness with others, especially those facing financial barriers to further education.
Rafael passed away in 2007 and in memory of this wonderful ambassador for the ChiBall values and in consultation with his family we created the Rafeal Moreno Scholarship. This scholarship has become a living tribute to Rafael’s generosity, joy, and embodiment of ChiBall’s core values: Simplicity, Innovation, Authenticity, Passion, and Respect. We honour Rafael’s memory by supporting those who carry his vision forward—sharing movement, mindfulness, and emotional wellbeing with their communities. The Rafael Moreno Scholarship is more than an award—it’s a tribute to the spirit of generosity, creativity, and community that defines ChiBall®. Inspired by Master Trainer Rafael Moreno, this scholarship supports wellness professionals who embody the values of movement, mindfulness, and service.
