The Two Wings of Zen Coaching
ZEN/ MEDITATION/ PRESENCE
Presence, awareness, mindfulness, relaxed alertness, true nature; living deeply connected with life’s essence. Zen embodies the two wings of Meditation: stopping (Shamatha) and deep insight (Vipashyana).
COACHING/ ENQUIRY/ CURIOSITY/ OPENNESS
Is the art of accessing and cultivating familiarity and confidence with both ones inner and outer world. This is done through relaxed, alert listening, effective questions, and guidance to include all aspects of the self; including the thoughts, body sensations, feelings, emotions, fears and longings. When we become curious and allow space for all parts of our experience we discover our essential natural qualities such as intuition, joy, compassion, love, truth, strength, playfulness, determination and many more. From this place we can easily identify actions to resolve any challenge we might have in our lives. Life also becomes a lot more fun and meaningful!
A thing about enlightenment - Thich Nhat Hanh
We can experience moments of awakening for ourselves at any time. Zen is not about believing in a particular doctrine or even a set of fixed principles and tools, it is an encouragement to look deeply at our own first hand experience as a source of truth and wisdom.

Cultivating peace:
Coming home to the depth of our being in challenging times.
“When we hold on to our opinions with aggression, no matter how valid our cause, we are simply adding more aggression to the planet and violence and pain increase. Cultivating nonaggression is cultivating peace.” (Pema Chödrön, When things fall apart, p.141).
