Zen With Zach

Hi everyone!

I will be teaching in person this weekend in San Diego. I’ve made this available to people online via Zoom if anyone is interested. Let me know if you’d like to join via Zoom or receive the recording after the class.

Enjoy!

Our first Zen With Zach class of 2025 will be held on February 13th at 5 pm pacific time on Zoom!

I’m excited to be teaching on writing and how we can leverage this beautiful tool to connect with ourselves, our vision, and then share that in an articulate way with the people around us.

Writing has been a constant companion for me since I was a teenager. I wrote a “creed document” for my life when I was 18 years old and many of the things I wrote came true. The act of simply writing down your goals makes them 42% more likely to happen.

I take mine a step further… I have a written “definite chief aim” for my life that includes my goals, intentions, identity, and desires. I read it every day and feel excitement for it having already been accomplished.

Join me and the community on the 13th of February to hear more about how you can connect with your heart through writing and sharing. What better way to kick off Valentine’s Day weekend than to give yourself the gift of time and attention.

DM or comment “IN” if you’re in!

The past few weeks, since limiting my social media use, have been very meaningful and difficult.

I had to say no many times to the impulse to check and see if anyone had gone unanswered or ignored. In reality, I was saying no to the need of external validation and approval.

On a deeper level, I was avoiding feeling anything other than happiness, joy, or contentment about my life. I was avoiding normal human emotions like sadness, grief, or disappointment. The consistent social media use was a very subtle way for me to avoid negative feelings and realities of life.

I define integrity as having the courage to face yourself continually. Once I realized what I was avoiding, I decided to sit with it and feel it. It was hard and actually gruesome at times, but it did pass and my trust and faith in myself also expanded. I am now learning what it means to be my own best friend.

Someone recently asked me if I was okay sharing my thoughts so openly with others. I actually sat with the question and considered it for a minute: what is my intention with sharing my life and thoughts with others? Obviously, it opens me up to criticism, disagreement, jealousy, frustration, or any other triggering emotions. But what if I help one person? What if someone decides not to take their life because of my example? What if they decide to follow the subtle voice of their soul because of something I said?

We never know what kind of impact we have on others, and it’s not about checking the scoreboard of our perceived impact. What matters is that we have a genuine experience of our own life and we share if we feel called.

PRACTICE OPPORTUNITY

Hi Zen With Zach family,

Most of you know that the path of individuation is not easy and that if requires us to GIVE UP that which is consistently holding us back. However, I think we all have felt moments in our life when we have given up something and that has opened up SPACE for what we need to come into our lives. This is not an intellectual process... this is an EMBODIED process that requires us to remain vigilant, aware, and courageous.

The path of individuation is the process of becoming whole and of coming home to yourself. We all have material things, experiences, relationships, beliefs, habits, and ways of living that are holding us back from living the life we came here to live. We know deep down what is holding us back. Sometimes, we lack the support and encouragement of a mature and radiant community to help us make the leap. We may have the courage resting dormant inside of us, but sometimes it helps to have a little nudge 😊

That's what we are here for. That's exactly what our world needs right now - a community, a sangha, that supports each other in their spiritual and personal development.

Join us on November 28th at 5 pm Pacific Time (which is November 29th at 9 am Bali time) and bring your sincere heart and your Great Faith to make the change and meet your unmet task.

Hi Zen With Zach family,

I am happy to announce that I will be leading a discussion next Saturday, July 27th from 9 - 11 am Pacific Time on Zoom on,

"Methods and Beyond Methods: An Inner Exploration of Zen, Kundalini Yoga, and Going Beyond Methods"

I will be covering in-depth my story of evolution, the process of individuation and why it's important to everyone's path, the different methods of personal and spiritual development available to us, and what it means to eventually go 'beyond methods'.

I am excited to lead this discussion because it can be applied to anyone at any stage of their development. We already have 10 people signed up for the class and I will cap the capacity at 20 participants.

Come and join us for an exclusive look into the specific stages of personal and spiritual development, how you can progress through each stage, and how to get support along the way 🏞️

Hey everyone! I had the opportunity to interview a Mystic and Catholic Priest, Seán Ó'Laoire and ask him a crucial question that people often ask:

“How do I know what to act on with regard to finding my unique purpose in this life?”

Hi Everyone!

I created this page a few years ago and I created a private Facebook Group for paid clients and for people who want to dive into my esoteric teachings and experience my 8-week Breakthrough Program:

https://www.facebook.com/share/iFwX8PJw7rvcxfTA/?mibextid=K35XfP

Zen With Zach is my current 8-week breakthrough program that helps men and women find their Definite Chief Aim and live a life in perfect harmony with the Relative and the Absolute. People typically reach out to me if they have gone through or are currently going through a spiritual transition in their lives and they don't know how to ground it in their everyday lives. They want health, wealth, and fulfilling relationships while also incorporating spirituality into how they show up every day. They want s*x appeal and spirituality 😎

For my current paid clients, you will receive free access to all of my online classes. I am teaching at a modern breathwork, yoga, sauna, and cold plunge studio this weekend in Melbourne, Australia. The name of the studio is FlowSt8 and they have locations in LA, Sydney, Melbourne, etc. I am hosting the class online this Friday at 5 pm Pacific Time for anyone who wants to attend. The class will be held on Prosperity & Abundance and it is one of my favorite Kriyas to teach. The link to sign up is here:
