Coach Training Module 1:
The Living Presence Experience & The Zen Way of Coaching – Exploring the Living Presence That We Are
With Roger Marklund and coach team
In Stockholm
This is a non-residential workshop!
This is an open workshop and you can attend it without committing to the full training.
Who are you in your true being? One answer to this question is that we are
more than a separate, historical self with preferences, thoughts and feelings.
We are a dynamic, living, creative and loving presence in the world, intimately
connected with all of life.
The Living Presence Experience and The Zen Way of Coaching is a journey into
your own inner nature, while also providing you with essential insights, tools
and practices to be authentic in relationships with others, and of powerful and
profound support to others in the role of therapist, coach or friend.
The group includes movement meditations, silent sitting, a lot of dancing,
teachings, deep emotional and spiritual inquiry work, sharing circles, individual
coaching, many forms of listening exercises, and much more.
This work is inspired by many teachings and traditions, especially Buddhism,
The Diamond Approach, Non-Violent Communication, Family Constellations,
Osho therapy work, Somatic Experiencing, the modern coaching tradition, and
more.
The key practices offered in this group are different forms of meditations and
powerful inquiry practices. The inquiry work involves looking deeply into your
inner experiences to experience and understand them fully, and from that
inner connection let the natural intelligence of life unfold in surprising,
expansive and healing ways.
This group is first of all a personal transformation and awakening journey, but it
will also be of significant benefit to anyone who works with people.
You will learn the basics of the Zen Coaching approach to inner transformation,
which is primarily focused on qualities of our presence rather than specific
techniques. We work with the Zen Coaching principles of “Listening from Inner
Spaciousness” and “Helping Through Non-Helping”. We also explore how
important the seemingly simple life principle of “Relax and Enjoy” is, not only in
ordinary life and in inner growth and transformation, but also when working with others as a therapist or coach. As we relax into our inner beingness, we
access our true inner potential of peace, strength, joy, love, freedom, trust,
compassion, clarity and creativity. This benefits ourselves and all our
relationships first of all, but also amplifies our impact when we work with
people.
Coaching
Coaching is the art of supporting awareness, responsibility and conscious
choice, mainly by using powerful questions and deep listening. Curiosity, trust
and compassion are the foundation for this kind of support, and these qualities
are also the basis for a life of joy, fulfillment, expansion, growth, healing,
transformation and ease.
In this workshop, you will explore what supports these qualities and what
blocks them in your own life. You will also learn the basic framework and
toolbox for working as an effective coach in the Zen way of effortless presence –
both for self-coaching and in coaching others.
About the Zen Coaching Training
After this workshop you can, if you wish, join the full Zen Coaching Training – a
one-year journey that consists of four more modules of 5 days each (20 days)
plus practice between modules. Modules 2-5 are offered at Ängsbacka,
Sweden (see www.angsbacka.se).
The training may later be offered in Norway, Poland and South Africa, where it has been
offered before, and possibly in other countries as well.

first offered in 2005. Completing the training means the possibility of being an
active part of a beautiful and nourishing international community for mutual
support, inspiration, and friendship. This community is called The Living
Presence Community, and it has local ‘hubs’ in may places, such as Stockholm,
