LEADING, TEACHING AND COACHING
FOR A BETTER WORLD

Our community of Zen Leadership practitioners, instructors and coaches are ever-raising the bar for how we can apply this work to what’s needed in the world, bring the out best in our teaching, in one another, and in those we reach. Master Class is our annual opportunity to sharpen the sword.

What will you learn?

  • How to bring the flips of Zen Leadership to life
  • How to apply and help other apply Zen leadership to real-world issues and inquiries
  • How to improve your coaching using tools and practices of Zen Leadership, including the energy patterns of FEBI
  • How to teach better, including online
  • How to deepen, expand and apply your lived experience of conenctedness (one-withness)
  • How to apply Zen leadership to create more healing, thriving and beauty in the world.

“The ZL series is about learning the content. Master Class is about expressing it through you or discovering what that expression is with support of peers.”

You Have Questions, We Have Answers

What happens if I cancel?

Depending on when you cancel relative to the program start date, we can transfer your registration forward to a future offering or you may be eligible for a refund. See our cancellation policy here.

What if I miss part of the program?

Part of what makes our programs so strong is the sense of community in the cohort, so we encourage you to attend all sessions live.  If you have to miss 1-2 hours, we’ll help you get caught up. If you have to miss more than that, we’ll suggest rolling your registration forward to the next offering.

Am I eligible to attend Master Class?

You’re eligible to attend if you’re a certified ZL or HEAL Practitioner or already serving as an instructor or jiki in one or more of our programs.  Ask us if you have any questions about your eligibility.

Is Master Class required in order to maintain ZL instructor or coach certification?

We strongly encourage regular attendance at Master Class for all ZL instructors and coaches and require attendance at least once every other year to maintain certification.

What if I can’t afford the program?

If you’re committed to training with us, we’d like to make it possible for you. We offer a scholarship rate and have a limited number of fuller scholarships available, generally in exchange for an opportunity to volunteer. Contact us at thezenleader@gmail.com to discuss further.
