A Legacy of Pioneering Programs

Zat’s work is defined by the creation of high-impact educational frameworks that have set the standard for modern men’s work:

• The Men’s Coach Training: A flagship 6-month intensive training in the art of men’s work. This program houses Zat’s proprietary 17-module curriculum, designed to train leaders in the intricate, nuanced tools and practices that affect lasting change.

• The New Masculine Program: A first-of-its-kind program in 2013 that redefined the mature masculine as an embodied, lived reality rather than an abstract philosophy.

• Conscious Leadership Facilitation: A framework for mentoring individuals and organizations in grounded presence, relational strategy, and operationalizing resilience.

Academic and Traditional Mastery

Zat’s methodology is backed by a massive architecture of formal training and traditional lineage. He bridges the gap between the therapeutic, the somatic, and the spiritual through a vast array of credentials:

• Academic Excellence: Master of Arts in Spiritual Psychology from the University of Santa Monica.

• Tibetan Buddhist Lineage: Over 30 years of study and practice in the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.

• Neuroscience and Nervous System Intelligence: A specialized approach to nervous system regulation and somatic intelligence for high pressure environments.

• Advanced Certifications: Certified NLP Practitioner, multiple certifications in Hatha and Kundalini Yoga, and traditional Buddhist meditation practice.

A Depth Based Methodology

Zat integrates a mastery of shadow work and cathartic group process with a critical emphasis on embodiment. By training under master teachers such as Pema Khandro Rinpoche, David Deida, and Michaela Boehm, he has developed a cutting edge toolkit that includes:

• Somatic Regulation: Utilizing breathwork and relational yoga for nervous system vitality.

• Nervous System Intelligence: Applying neuroscience based approaches to foster resilience and emotional mastery.

• Relational Communication: Practical frameworks for authentic connection and conscious leadership.

• Parts Work and Archetypal Inquiry: Exploring the layers of the human experience.
