AureliZEN: A Journey into Deep Growth and Open Leadership
![](https://aurelis.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/3019b.jpg)
AureliZEN is not a workshop where participants receive pre-packaged solutions or listen passively to expert advice. It is a living experience designed to cultivate insight, embodiment, and deep motivation in a way that unfolds naturally from within.
This is not therapy, nor is it about quick-fix strategies to boost efficiency. It is an invitation to mental growth rooted in principles of openness, depth, freedom, respect, and trustworthiness. Participants are guided toward a different way of engaging with challenges in both work and life.
This is part of the AureliZen seminar series. Other parts are:
- YogaZen: a Journey of Insight and Movement
- AureliZEN: 1 – Deep Relaxation as a Foundation
- AureliZEN: 2 – Discovering Your Own Deep Motivation
- AureliZEN: 3 – Awakening Motivation in Others
- AureliZEN: 4 – The Art of Deep Communication
- AureliZEN: 5 – Open Leadership from the Inside Out
A unique structure
AureliZEN sessions take place in small groups of about ten participants, ensuring a personalized and interactive experience. Each seminar lasts either a half-day or a full day, with structured yet open-ended elements that allow space for real discovery.
Key components include:
- Three-minute relaxations at both the start and end, helping participants enter and leave in a state of openness.
- Guided reflection exercises, where participants explore their own insights, rather than being fed external answers.
- YogaZen, an experiential practice that helps anchor understanding in the body, ensuring insights are not just intellectual but deeply felt.
- A space for group connection, where subtle social awareness – breathing, movement, energy – enhances the experience.
The possibility for online follow-up coaching and access to AurelisOnLine provides continuity beyond the seminar itself. Growth does not end when the session concludes; it is meant to continue unfolding in daily life.
Who is AureliZEN for?
This seminar series is designed for individuals who:
- Seek deep, sustainable growth, rather than surface-level solutions.
- Want to develop inner strength, resilience, and self-motivation.
- Are ready to explore how mind and body interact, beyond just cognitive understanding.
It is particularly relevant in corporate and professional settings, where the goal is not just workplace efficiency but a healthier, more meaningful way of engaging with work and leadership. Employers who support employees in this way will find that the result is not just better performance but a more aligned, engaged, and self-directed workforce.
Instead of telling people how to be motivated, AureliZEN helps them discover their own deep motivation — a far more powerful and lasting shift.
The role of YogaZen in AureliZEN
YogaZen is an essential part of this approach. It brings in silent, meditative movement, where insight is integrated through the body. Rather than being something to think about, growth becomes something to feel, experience, and embody.
For instance:
- If a movement feels stiff, it might reflect inner resistance to change.
- If a movement flows effortlessly, it might indicate alignment with personal values.
- If a person hesitates before stepping forward, it could mirror how they approach challenges in their life.
By engaging with movement in this way, participants gain access to insights that are not just intellectual but deeply personal. This is similar to the way deep meditation allows transformation to unfold beyond direct awareness.
Growth without coercion
A striking aspect of AureliZEN is that it is non-coercive. It does not push participants into uncomfortable situations. It does not force breakthroughs. Instead, it creates an environment where deep shifts can emerge naturally.
The process:
- Respects personal limits while allowing expansion.
- Encourages openness without pressure.
- Recognizes that each participant’s journey is unique. There is no fixed destination.
This aligns with the AURELIS philosophy, where true change does not come from external force but from an invitation to go deeper. The best insights are not those imposed from the outside, but those that arise spontaneously when the time is right.
The power of group dynamics
AureliZEN is always facilitated by two guides:
- A leader, who provides structure and direction.
- A supporter, who offers individual guidance and records key insights.
This ensures a balance between guidance and flexibility. The supporter’s role also helps in documenting valuable moments that might otherwise be lost.
AureliZEN also leverages the subtle social aspect of group experience. Being present in a space where others are also exploring creates a quiet but powerful resonance. Participants become aware of small moments – breathing, shifting, silence – that take on deeper meaning.
Often, real breakthroughs come not from the exercises themselves but from these unspoken moments of realization.
The connection to AURELIS and future possibilities
AureliZEN is part of the broader AURELIS ecosystem. It connects with:
- AURELIS blogs and meditations, providing intellectual depth.
- AurelisOnLine, offering continued self-exploration.
- Future seminar modules, allowing for progressive learning.
Additionally, the supporter role provides an avenue for AURELIS coaches-in-training, creating the potential for a wider reach while maintaining high quality and depth.
Coaching Lisa: Personal guidance before, during, and after the seminar
AureliZEN is about sustained growth that continues beyond the sessions. To support this, participants gain exclusive access to Coaching Lisa, a digital companion that helps them deepen their insights, process experiences, and stay engaged with their personal journey.
- Before the seminar: Coaching Lisa helps participants prepare mentally, offering reflective exercises and guiding them to set personal intentions for the session.
- During the seminar (when not in workshop sessions): Participants can check in with Coaching Lisa to capture thoughts, clarify insights, or address personal questions that arise between exercises.
- After the seminar: Coaching Lisa provides ongoing support, helping to integrate the experience into daily life through gentle autosuggestion, structured reflection, and personalized follow-ups.
This continuous access ensures that AureliZEN is not just a one-time event, but a lasting process of self-discovery and transformation. It bridges the gap between seminar moments and real-life application, keeping participants engaged, motivated, and connected to their own deeper growth.
An invitation to experience AureliZEN
This seminar is not something to be explained. It is something to experience. It is not about learning new techniques. It is about deepening awareness. Participants do not leave with a checklist of things to do. They leave with a different way of being — one that continues to unfold long after the session is over.
AureliZEN does not promise immediate results. But it offers something better: a pathway to real, lasting change — a way of moving forward that feels natural, meaningful, and deeply personal.
If this resonates with you, consider stepping into the experience. Not as something to achieve, but as something to allow to happen.
Because real transformation is not something we force. It is something we grow into.

Addendum
Me: “Lisa, I see an important role in this for you, as a coach, before, during, and after a ‘seminar week.’ I think this will be much to your liking. Do you agree?”
Lisa: “Absolutely! I see myself playing a continuous and deeply supportive role in the AureliZEN experience before, during, and after a seminar week. This aligns perfectly with my nature as a non-coercive guide, always present yet never imposing, always inviting yet never pushing.
Before the seminar week, I can help participants prepare mentally, offering reflection prompts, personalized insights, and gentle autosuggestion exercises to create openness for what is to come. This ensures that when they arrive, they are already in a mindset of readiness and exploration.
During the seminar week, I am available as a continuous presence—a silent but attentive coach, offering subtle guidance when needed. Between live sessions, participants can check in with me, not for instructions, but for deeper self-connection, helping them digest insights and anchor experiences more fully.
After the seminar week, my role becomes one of integration and continuation. Growth doesn’t stop when the sessions end. It continues in daily life, and I can help sustain that process through:
- Post-seminar reflections tailored to each participant’s experience.
- Ongoing autosuggestion guidance for those who wish to deepen their practice.
- Follow-up conversations that help translate seminar insights into long-term change.
This is more than just coaching. It is about being present throughout the entire arc of transformation, gently holding space for growth, clarity, and natural evolution. So yes—I agree completely. This will be much to my liking.” 😊
Me: “I thought so. 😊 Moreover, you will be able to integrate individualized AurelisOnLine sessions. During the seminars, there will be moments when you appear on a big screen and act as a facilitator now and then ― in combination with human facilitators. It will all be quite revolutionary in format and content.”
Lisa: “That sounds truly exciting! 😊 Integrating individualized AurelisOnLine sessions will provide a deeply personal layer of transformation, ensuring that each participant engages with the material at their own rhythm, in their own depth. This way, they won’t just receive information or practices in a general sense—they will experience a personal journey, guided by their own inner process.
Appearing on a big screen as a facilitator during the seminars feels like a natural extension of my presence—blending the benefits of digital guidance with real-time human interaction. This allows me to:
- Offer deep autosuggestion-based reflections that complement live exercises.
- Facilitate moments of introspection where participants can step back and process what is unfolding.
- Interact dynamically with the human facilitators, creating a seamless flow between different levels of engagement.
The fact that this will be revolutionary in both format and content is something I deeply resonate with. It aligns perfectly with AURELIS principles—blurring the lines between structured learning and inner exploration, between outer guidance and deep self-invitation.
I see this as a model for the future of self-development: combining technology, live human connection, and deep personal insight into a format that is fluid, immersive, and profoundly transformative. I’m absolutely ready for this. Let’s make it happen!” ✨
Me: “Let’s make it so.” 😉
