Module 1 is much more than an introduction to Zen Coaching. It is an experiential and potentially deeply transformative journey into how you meet yourself, others and life itself. 💚

But what do these five days actually look like?

Each morning begins with a different meditation practice, and during the days, we explore the Zen Coaching approach through guided exercises, sharing and one-to-one inquiry. We work both as a group and in pairs, so the learning is mostly happening through your own direct experience.

You will also witness live coaching sessions and see the approach in practice. Each participant receives an individual one-on-one coaching session with a graduated Zen Coach from the coach team, offering personal support for exploring something meaningful in their own life.

Alongside the depth, there is also plenty of space for connection, laughter, dance and other movement, and celebration.

Our next Module 1 is approaching:

What if the greatest gift you can give another person is your presence?

When we listen, we are often already preparing our response, thinking about what advice to give or searching for the right thing to say.

But perhaps we don’t always need to do so much for each other. Sometimes what matters most is simply being there, listening without rushing to answer, fix or change anything.

As this participant beautifully shares: be present, relax and enjoy. 💚

The other weekend, the Zen Coaching community in Finland gathered to practise and connect. 🤍

What feels especially meaningful to us about gatherings like this is that the practice continues beyond the trainings. People find their own ways to come together, reconnect and keep exploring what it means to meet life and one another with presence.

Zen Coaching practices can become a living part of everyday life, and a beautiful way to keep deepening into presence, connection and authentic meeting with others.

Over the years, Zen Coaching has grown into an international community, with practitioners and friends on the path connecting in many different ways. People gather in self-organised local sanghas, some local hubs arrange open events, and shared practice also takes place online across countries and continents.

There is something deeply nourishing about coming together in a shared field of presence, where we can slow down, listen, practise and welcome one another just as we are.

It is wonderful to see this international community continuing to grow and evolve, as people find different ways to meet, connect and practise together, both locally and online.

A coach training that begins with you.

In Zen Coaching, our own experience is the teacher. We explore how to stay present with what is happening within us, recognise the deeper qualities and resources already here and meet our experiences without immediately trying to change them.

From this foundation, the way we listen to and support others also deepens. Coaching becomes less about having the right answers or applying a technique, and more about creating a space where something new can be felt, seen and discovered.

This is also why many experienced coaches, therapists and other professionals working with people find the training deeply valuable. Zen Coaching offers powerful tools for authenticity, presence and listening that can enrich their professional work, while also supporting their own inner journey and growth.

Two Module 1 trainings are coming up at Ängsbacka, Sweden:

17–22 November 2026
3–8 January 2027

Coach Training Module 1
The Living Presence Experience & The Zen Way of Coaching – Exploring the Living Presence That We Are

What if meditation was not only something you practise in silence, but a way of meeting everything?

Speaking can be meditation. Listening can be meditation. Eating can be meditation.

In this reel, Kåre reflects on the healing quality of shared silence and the approach of bringing awareness into everything we do.

Meditation does not have to end when we get up from the cushion. Every part of life can become an invitation to slow down, listen and be here. That is what we practise in Zen Coaching.

How would your life feel different if you saw more of it as meditation?

Our life story is like letters drawn in sand, marked by impermanence. Yet the mystery of the ongoing presence that we are remains, always here, always now.

Zen Coaching is an approach to the exploration of this mystery of nowness and living presence that we are. I call it ‘The Adventure of Now’.

The two key practices of Zen Coaching are Meditation and Inquiry. Both these practices are based on an embrace of - and compassionate curiosity towards - present-moment experience. One is more receptive, meditation, and the other, inquiry, is more active. We welcome everything that we are, from joy and sadness to strength and vulnerability. We treat each inner experience, whether pleasant or difficult, as a gateway to deeper discoveries.
We also use movement, dance and nature connection as key practices.

You are warmly welcome to come join the exploration!

The next Zen Coaching Module 1 takes place at Ängsbacka this November!

17–22 November 2026
Ängsbacka Course Center, Sweden

Module 1 introduces you to the foundations of the Zen Coaching approach: a heart-based and embodied way of meeting yourself and others through deep listening, awareness and presence.

During these five days, we explore this approach through meditation, movement, inquiry, sharing and practical coaching exercises. We practise listening beyond words, meeting our inner experience without immediately trying to change it, and recognising the deeper qualities and resources that are already present within us.

The module is open to anyone interested in personal growth, as well as coaches and other professionals who work with people and wish to bring a more presence-based and embodied approach into their work.

Module 1 is the beginning of the complete Zen Coaching Training, but it can also be joined as a deeply meaningful experience in itself, without committing to the full training. No previous coaching or related experience is needed.

Would you like to begin the new year in a way that many others have found deeply meaningful over the years?

For many years, we have organized the Zen Coaching Module 1 Training at Ängsbacka, right after the turn of the year! For five days, we have gathered to slow down, listen more deeply and explore the living presence that we are.

During these five days, we explore the foundations of the Zen Coaching approach through meditation, movement, inquiry, sharing and practical coaching exercises. We practise listening beyond words, meeting our experiences without immediately trying to change them and recognising the deeper qualities and resources already present within us.

It is a great way to start the new year, an invitation to step away from everyday routines, reconnect with yourself and begin the year with greater presence, clarity and openness.

People come to Zen Coaching from different countries, cultures, professions and stages of life. 💚

Some have years of experience in coaching, meditation, therapy, leadership or personal development. Others come because they are going through a transition, longing for a deeper connection with themselves or are simply curious about different ways of meeting life.

During the modules, we practise, share, move, sit in silence and meet one another beyond our usual roles.

Many participants continue through all of the training modules, deepening both their own journey and the connections formed along the way. They leave not only with new insights, inner shifts and coaching skills, but also with friendships, practice partners and a sense of belonging to an international community.

This living and breathing global network is now expanding through the Living Presence Community, including local hubs that bring people together through events, practice groups and accessible community gatherings, online teachings and a growing global network.

The Zen Coaching community continues to grow through a shared willingness to be present, honest and curious about what is alive in ourselves and in one another.

It is an inner exploration, but it is also a journey we share.

Not every question needs an immediate answer.

When something feels unpleasant, uncertain or unresolved, the mind often begins searching for a solution. What should I do? How can I change this? What is the right decision?

Sometimes an answer is needed, but sometimes the urgency to find one takes us further away from what is actually happening right now.

What if, before trying to solve the situation, you paused?

Feel your feet on the ground. Notice your breathing and the sensations in your body. Then gently ask yourself:

What is here right now?
What am I feeling in my body?
Can I say yes to this?

Presence does not always bring an instant answer. Sometimes it first brings us closer to what has been waiting for our attention.

And when we allow ourselves to meet that experience, the next step may begin to emerge naturally.

What do you notice when you try this?
