Welcome to the Institute for Zen Leadership

We catalyze your transformation so that you can transform your world. Are you hungry to make a difference but are feeling stuck, confused, or exhausted by the state of our world? Embark on the journey to flip that around.

Join us on a transformational journey toward calm, clarity and joy in the difference you’re here to make. Discover Zen-embodied leadership practices, resources and community to make your difference greater and more beautiful.

Without being religious, Zen training conditions your body and mind as one to free you from getting stuck, help you work through suffering to the joy on the other side, and free you to create with deep resilience.
