Learn to Flow Well
Seek first to understand. Reach for the amazing. Do the right thing.
Act as One. Live life passionately.
In hopes of sharing with humility rather than hubris, clients attest to my remarkable ability to serve up knowledge and insights in unique and appealing ways. My eclectic range of knowledge and interests makes my services invaluable as I help clients navigate a path toward their dreams, career and life goals, as well as personal and professional growth and understanding.
I believe that everyone is capable of achieving things beyond their imagination, and my track record proves it. Taking even a small step toward your dream can set in motion a cascade of support from unexpected sources. I specialize in creating empathic and generative conversations that reveal and restore insight and inspiration. Here’s a recent reflection from a podcast guest that exemplifies my work as a coach, too. It’s all about you being loved:
I want to share my inner experience in the conversation with Zen today. It was wonderful! He shared so many things with me that matched my experience exactly. It felt to me like he truly listened to me and to the Spirit within us all, and that is a very rare experience indeed. He also made me feel “normal,” in the sense that many of the unusual experiences I have had have happened to others, too. I felt his compassion as I shared some of the tougher experiences I’ve had, and also his acceptance. It felt like he believed me, and that allowed me to believe more in myself and what has happened in my life. He even named some of my experiences for the first time—as if I was not alone, not weird, not “wrong.” I feel very encouraged by our talk and can’t wait to see some of his other podcast interviews. Thank you very much, Zen—I feel like I’ve been welcomed into the world with all of my differences from normal experience. I’m very grateful. ~ Susanne Donoghue, May, 2024.

Zen Benefiel is a pioneer
Zen Benefiel is a pioneer who sits at the intersections of science, consciousness, culture and the peace movement, the nodes of which he orientates towards a regenerative world view or new paradigm. Ben is an excellent listener, is very knowledgeable and able to converse fluently across many disciplines. He has trod the path less travelled and the world indeed benefits from his conscious and alternative choices.

…very knowledgeable and gifted spiritual teacher.
Zen is a very knowledgeable and gifted spiritual teacher. He is a great interviewer as well. He poses the questions most people won’t. His peaceful style attracts loads of people to his work. He also presents in matter of fact fashion and gives one plenty to think about. I highly recommend his work to anyone interested in spiritual matters.

He does this in a way that no other coach or counselor does.
As a chiropractor and business owner, I’ve hired several business coaches that had a lot of information and little actual help in accomplishing goals and objectives. In just 3 months Zen has helped me with focus, stress reduction, how to be more productive and communicating with others, just to mention a few results. This has benefited everything around me including myself, my business, my patients and my family. He does this in a way that no other coach or counselor does. He takes a holistic approach using his years of education and background to help reach each individual’s potential. Thanks Zen!

Zen is very wise and experienced
I had a great, open-ended conversation with Zen which to pushed me in a direction that I needed to be pushed which was a great gift. Zen is very wise and experienced giving him many stories to tell that will help you align with where you want to be, and what you need to do to get there. He is also a very generous, intuitive and honest coach which is clear in his practice. This gives clients a great space to be themselves and to reorient in.

He’s connected in mind, body, and spirit to the pulse of the universe
I don’t have a way to tangibly describe what he does, or how he does it. To try to would be like attempting to tell you how to beat your own heart; your heartbeat, by the way, will be an intimacy you are familiar with if you spend any time with Zen. He’s connected in mind, body, and spirit to the pulse of the universe, and yet, he’s also just a guy, and a hell of a lot of fun to talk to and be with.
I should also mention that Zen is fiercely intelligent, and prolific in his work. He’s extremely well-read, multi-talented, multi-faceted, and creates value in this world with a frequency that is astonishing.
If you are blessed to have an opportunity to speak with Zen, either on his podcast or in a coaching conversation, I highly recommend you do so.

On a mission to help all of us
Zen is on a mission to help all of us become “excellent human beings”. I am honored and blessed by his presence in my life. As we each take on this challenge that Zen is promoting, then the world can change for the better. I am honored to work with Zen in this quest to bring “oneness” to the world for it is not only necessary but also vital for our sustainability.

Smart fellow! Great ally!
I consider Zen to be one of those superlative examples of what the human brain can store and serve up in unique and appealing ways at will on most any occasion or assignment. To say his range of knowledge and interests are “eclectic” is understatement. And this is what makes his services as a “possibilities coagulator” for his clients so valuable and exciting.

I don’t praise lightly or often.
When I do offer praise, especially when it’s public, I make sure I’ve had the experience to back up my words. Over the course of a year or more I’ve had the opportunity to engage almost daily with Zen Benefiel on many platforms of intellectual rigor as well as transformational themes. Zen doesn’t think outside the box, he *is* outside the box. Creativity, imagination, insight, curiosity & understanding are a few of the tools he employs to get to the heart of the matter. Transformational Life Coaching requires a professional who has coached himself, done the inner work, explored the questions. Now that professional is primed to help you – as he has helped me and many others. Perhaps you’ll consider contacting him to have a Discovery Chat and learn is this is the fit for you.
