Master Class

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. In Master Class you’ll learn:

  • How to teach the flips of Zen Leadership and associated curriculum
  • How to apply Zen leadership to personal, professional and societal challenges
  • How the practices and tools of Zen Leadership can be applied in coaching
  • How to apply best practices and feedback from others in strengthening your own teaching
  • How to deepen your own exploration of teaching or coaching from connected consciousness
  • How to apply Zen leadership to better care for people (including racial justice and social change) and the planet.

Stand into what it would feel like to lead the way, stewarding resources in the best possible way, with clear direction, relevance, serving up the talents that are uniquely yours, allowing others to step into responsibility, joyfully balanced.

I learned from this program that I have all the tools I need to be a good leader. I just need to practice. The toolkit is always accessible. I have had many nuts and bolts training but here I learned to use my whole body.

Lois Pfeiffer

Founder and CEO

This program offers a new way to look at and work with deep fears, which often operate subconsciously in us. Being able to bring these fears into our conscious mind and then work with them through the body is extremely valuable.

The techniques are very powerful and the guides, Heather and Rebecca, very experienced creating an ambient of safety and confidence.

You Have Questions, We Have Answers

What if I register and then something comes up and I can’t attend the program?

We’ll be glad to roll your registration forward to a future program at the same price.

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 try to make it possible for you.  We have a limited number of partial scholarships available to our programs. If you’d like to apply for one, here is an application.
