Return to Your True Nature Without Abandoning the World—Even If You're Not a Zen Monk
Experience the Freedom of Being Fully Present in Your Daily Life.
"I feel as though I am changing in some way (?). This process is more powerful than it seems. I feel a great weight dropping away. Nothing to be found - just to be." - Neil, Course Participant
BENEFITS
Why Awakening in Your Daily Life Is Easy
We are already enlightened
Every spiritual teacher confirms that we are already enlightened, but what good does it do if we are unaware about it?
The true aim of meditation is to get you to a direct experience of your own awake nature.
- Create a meditation routine that supports your awakening.
- Learn the three pillars of meditation: unwavering faith in one's true Self, total focus and persistence, and intense questioning of what's really true.
By the end of the course, you will feel confident in your meditation practice and grounded in the basic principles.
We just need to discern the true from the false
How can you distinguish between the eternal truth and the transient?
Discernment is essential in any spiritual practice.
- Learn to cultivate awareness to let go of your thoughts, viewpoints, and opinions, as no viewpoint can contain the Absolute truth.
- Develop discernment to see through ignorance and reveal your True Nature.
By the end of the course, you will confidently discern the true from the false.
Boundless freedom is already here
Desire and seeking create suffering by making us feel incomplete and disconnected from our true nature.
To awaken, we must let go of seeking and recognize our divine nature.
- Understand the root of suffering and how it disconnects you from the present moment.
- Dissolve the desire for anything other than the present moment in order to unconditionally accept what is.
By the end of the course, you will learn to fully accept the present moment no matter what.
Expressing Truth in daily life
In Zen, realizing Truth is just as important as expressing Truth.
- Learn to let go of judgment and the constant need to compare the present moment with past experiences or imagined outcomes.
- Embrace a "don't know mind" to experience each moment fully, engaging with life as it is, free from attachment or resistance.
By the end of the course, you know how to live from a place of deep clarity and compassion.
TESTIMONIAL from a course participant
"With thousands of courses on meditation now available, why would you choose this one?
Well, Christian has devised a course suitable for anyone at any level of experience. Although it may be a steep learning curve for someone with no experience, such a ‘beginner’s mind’ could be an advantage. Equally, for those with more experience but perhaps unable to access a teacher, his approach takes you right to the heart of all ‘spiritual’ teaching—reminding you of the path and encouraging you to maintain your journey.
Overall, there is much to recommend this course. It is a short, well-balanced teaching, presenting the key points in Zen meditation. Christian has thought a great deal about how to deliver such a difficult set of teachings—a challenge made even greater by the online format. Not only does he succeed, but he has used the medium to great effect.
It must also be pointed out that as a teacher (though he does not call himself such, rather using the term ‘A Friend of the Way’), Christian is second to none. His style is a perfect complement to the subject, and he is very open to questions, helping students with any issues that arise.
In this, I speak from experience and cannot thank him enough for his help."

For Those Who Want to Take Spirituality Seriously—Without Living Like a Monk
This course is not about quick fixes or feel-good spirituality. It’s for those ready to commit deeply, face their false beliefs, and awaken to their True Self right now—no waiting, no excuses.
Zen points straight to this moment. Not some future enlightenment or past achievement. Imagine using every life situation to wake up — suddenly, everything is clear, more alive, and you feel a deep peace right now, even if just for a breath. That’s what I’m sharing.
It's not about complicated methods or complex ideas. It’s about real spiritual practice you can do anytime, anywhere — a practice that reconnects you with your True Self and the reality beyond all the noise.
Hey, Friends of the Way
Hey, I’m Christian.
I’m a Zen Buddhist Dharma Teacher and Certified Energy Healer — but more than that, I’m just a person on the path. I’ve struggled, doubted, and fallen off track, just like anyone else. But I keep coming back to what matters.
I created this course to support both my own practice and yours. It’s not about spiritual fluff or complicated techniques — it’s about real, honest practice that brings you back to the truth of this moment.
If you're ready to face what’s real and wake up to your life — let’s practice together. 🙏
TESTIMONIAL
"I've worked with Christian for the last four years. He's a teacher, a guide, and a mentor. I've never met somebody who has gone as deep as he has on Zen, and can communicate so skillfully. I feel like I'm talking to someone with the wisdom of a monk in a monastery, and the relatability of a friend.
His guidance has transformed my practice and my life. I feel lighter, more confident, and more alive. And I don't question whether my practices are working. I know with his support, I am on the right track. He shares a wide variety of practices from within and outside the Zen tradition, including some focused on the heart.
Plus, our conversations are always fun. In addition to his support with my practices, he supports my entire life. I feel seen and heard, and he often shares experiences of his own that powerfully relate to mine and shift my perspective. I recommend Christian to anyone who's looking for a different experience of themselves and the world. Or a more authentic and true one."
