“Zen” means: awareness, presence, relaxation, being – which simply means being the space of allowance for every experience.
“Coaching” means to see potential – our own and that of others – and help unleash that potential through powerful questions and deep listening.

We ARE, in our being, what we most deeply are looking for and long for, such as strength, peace, clarity, love and freedom. We discover this when we allow ourselves to stop struggling, and start allowing our experiences as they are, open up to our vulnerabilities, and relax into the strength, peace and openness of Being.
The stress and problems we experience in life are opportunities for looking inward and (re-)discovering inner sources of strength, peace and wisdom. Once we connect more deeply with ourselves through relaxing into Being, we become much more clear, intelligent and creative, and can much more effectively and joyfully deal with life´s small and great challenges.
Relaxation in this sense is an adventure and a challenge. It means letting go of control, of effort, of trying to become something different from what we are in this moment, and simply relax into the strength and spaciousness that we are. In the process, we will face our vulnerabilities, our suppressions, our dark corners, our limiting beliefs, our mental chatter, our self-criticalness, and feelings we´d rather not face. The benefit of allowing ourselves to see and feel these aspects of ourselves is a strongly enhanced sense of aliveness, freedom, connectedness, strength, peace and power.
The first module of the Zen Coaching Training, Relaxing Into Being, is four days long. It is a simple, meditative, joyful, nourishing, sometimes challenging and deeply transformative experience that can be taken separetely from the rest of the Zen Coaching Training. This module will also teach you the fundamentals of mindfulness-based coaching as a powerful way to support yourself and others into a creative and generous life lived from the heart, in presence, strength, clarity and joy.
The full Zen Coaching Training is a 19-day training to become Certified Zen Coach, facilitated by Kåre Landfald, with 4-5 co-trainers and assistants. The training is divided into four modules of 4-5 days each, carried out over 9-11 months. Teleclasses are offered between modules.
Participants receive a diploma and become certified Zen Coaches upon completed training and completion of the practice requirements.
As mentioned above, you can join part 1, ‘Relaxing Into Being’, before committing to the full training.
Zen Coaching is a simple and very powerful coaching process, developed by Kåre Landfald, which aims to help people open up to their true wisdom, strength and inner wealth.
Zen Coaching process is inspired by teachers such as Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh, A.H. Almaas (the Diamond Approach), Rahasya, Nukunu, Candice O´Denver (Balanced View teachings) and Marshall B Rosenberg (founder of the process of non-violent communication).
Zen Coaching helps us to get the results we desire in life, privately and professionally. It makes us discover what our hearts really long for is at this moment, inside ourselves. Zen Coaching helps you find your inner power and wisdom, and to support others to do the same.
It is a great satisfaction to receive support in the form of honest questions and deep listening from someone who listens with curiosity, relaxed presence and full acceptance.
In Zen Coaching training, you learn to offer this life-enhancing and healing listening to yourself and others – your friends, your partner, your children, your colleagues and clients. You can take part in this training for professional purposes as well as for the sake of your own personal transformation and growth.
“I feel inspired, excited, full of energy, smoother, happier. I’ve got confidence in myself as a coach and have seen new opportunities. I have appreciated that there was playfullnes and so much laughter.”
“I feel full of life’s magic, full of trust that life unfolds by itself, and full of self-confidence and inspiration to coach others.”
“It’s such a gift to experience that I, and my presence, is such a gift to others.”
“Kåre creates an atmosphere of trust and safety, and that which to me is so magical: a space without expectations and performance. He demonstrates effortlessly that it is safe to just be – that our presence in itself brings about transformation and that we all are a part of this presence – what a gift!“
After completion of the Zen Coaching training, you have the opportunity to work as a coach so you can support others in gaining access to their potential, no matter what situations they face. Of more importance is that you have found insights and knowledge that are likely to influence you and your relationships in a positive direction.
The training taught in simple English. Participants who complete the training are offered to become a part of the Zen Coaching Network.
