The Art of Integrative Consciousness

Bridging Science, Spirit, and Systemic Change


DON'T WAIT | ONLY A HANDFUL OF DISCOUNTED EARLY BIRD SEATS LEFT! It's not a virtual event. It's not a conference. It's not a seminar, a meeting, or a symposium. It's not about attracting a big crowd. It's not about making a profit, but rather about making a real difference. EXPLORE MORE • REGISTER HERE


When we weave inner wisdom with outer action, we become more than thought leaders—we become heart leaders.

In a world increasingly fractured by division—between science and spirit, logic and intuition, material and metaphysical—there’s a quiet revolution underway. It isn’t televised, but it’s transforming the way we think, lead, and live. I call it integrative consciousness: the capacity to hold space for paradox, synthesize insight across disciplines, and apply that awareness with intention. It’s not just philosophy. It’s practice. And it’s the evolutionary edge of how we co-create a better future.


Where the Divide Has Led Us

For too long, we’ve compartmentalized knowledge.
Science had its labs.
Spirit had its temples.
Business had its bottom lines.

This separation served a purpose. But the cost has been coherence.

We now stand at a threshold—called by both crisis and calling—to transcend the silos and recognize the patterns that unify us. Integration isn’t optional. It’s imperative.


Walking Between Worlds

I’ve lived in both realms: the mystical and the managerial. My early years were marked by vivid contact experiences and an unrelenting curiosity about consciousness. As my path evolved, I earned advanced degrees in business and organizational management, produced large-scale events, and helped teams find harmony on complex construction projects.

What I discovered is this: the bridge between worlds isn’t only possible—it’s necessary.
When we lead from presence, systems change.


What It Looks Like in Practice

  • A leader using breathwork before a board meeting to stay grounded.
  • A team incorporating mindfulness into its planning cycle.
  • A coach blending neuroscience with ancient wisdom.
  • A community project guided by both data and dreams.

Practical Invitations to Integrate

  1. Pause to Pattern-Recognize – Reflect daily on not just what’s happening, but what’s emerging.
  2. Embrace Uncertainty – View the unknown not with fear, but with curiosity.
  3. Cross the Divide – Put scientists and shamans in the same room. You’ll be surprised how much they share.

A New Kind of Leadership

Integrative consciousness isn’t reserved for mystics or CEOs—it’s for all of us.

When we weave our inner wisdom with outer action, we begin to model the kind of coherence the world so deeply needs. We shift from managing people to empowering potential, from solving problems to revealing patterns. From thought leadership to heart leadership.

That’s how a new world begins.

Zen says his life has been spiced with personal and professional opportunities that came through his nurturing of faith, love, and trust that dreams do come true. What built that faith, love, and trust began as an orphan told of his adoption just after his 4th birthday. The spice continued with experiences that span the gamut of the paranormal and include off-planet engagements over a lifetime. Can you say outlier? With two Master’s degrees and multiple certifications as well as an interesting professional history (ZenBenefiel.com) his passion turned to transformational life coaching just after the turn of the century, having become a rather astute cognitive scientist with extraordinary insight and intuition, he transformed Be The Dream (founded in 1988) from the intention of bridging best business and spiritual practices to a reality that has served hundreds. A decade and a half of writing was filled with cathartic wonders. His gifts are useful for Team Partnering as well, facilitating people, places, and things to build mega-structures with pre-construction teambuilding sessions. Divorced with four children, 9 grandkids, and 2 great-grandsons, he remarried after 30 years. Luba is from St. Petersburg, Russia, and their meeting, both agree, was a cosmic conspiracy of destiny, spiritual compatibility, and future vision of a newly ordered world in harmony with natural order. After 47 years of preparation, and stepping into what feels like fulfilling destiny, he recently became the Executive Director of the Live and Let Live Global Peace Movement that is inspiring the world now. Zen's Book "Navigating Holistic Growth: The Servant Leader's Guide," demonstrates, true leadership is not about authority, but about fostering an environment of growth, understanding, and cooperation. This guide is an essential resource for anyone looking to make a meaningful impact, through self-discovery and by empowering those around them.
