Zen leadership Instructor
You’ve experienced the flips of Zen Leadership or the power of resonance, or perhaps you’re oriented toward embodied leadership and are just now finding this pathway. If you’re sensing it can take you further than any other, you’d be right.
Become a certified Zen Leadership Instructor, qualified to teach Zen leadership in your work, expand our curriculum through your expertise and join the pool we draw from in staffing our programs.
In addition to Practitioner pathway courses and FEBI certification, Zen Leadership Instructor certification requires regular attendance at our annual Master Class and instructor-level training with our sister organization, Chosei Zen, including at least two intensive 4-day sesshin or keishin (i.e., online training).
It’s bigger than you think.
Stop thinking.

How does it work?
The Zen Leadership Instructor pathway starts with one of the Practitioner pathways (i.e., Zen Leader or HEAL Practitioner pathway) and FEBI Certification. It adds personalized guidance from instructors, opportunities to teach ZL, regular connection to the IZL community, instructor-level Zen training with Chosei Zen and regular attendance at IZL’s annual Master Class.
Master Class
Chosei Zen Training
There was the usual boisterous chatter
among the tangled roots
of the Tree of Fear.
When unexpectedly,
Not Enoughness – who is always cowering in a small nook, taking up as little space as possible –
puffed up and piped up in a sufficiently audible voice:
“Is that so?”
Suddenly,
like the hara breath-sword that cuts through neurotic thought,
the chatter
fell
silent.
– Kelly Bannister, Biocultural Ethicist
