Vishy Sankara

Zen guide, Life coach, ACT counsellor—Co-traveller. Guide by your side Ego and Essence :) I am a Zen practice guide/instructor at Kanzeon Zendo, Perumal Malai, and uchi deshi (practice assistant) to Zen Master Fr. AMA Samy. I am also an ICF-certified life coach, author, change and transformation consultant, and ACT counsellor. I facilitate a year-long online program, Kokoro-Zen-Do in Action . My first book, Fallen Flower, Fragrant Grass, was published in February 2024. Two books on Zen are in progress. I guide individuals (20s to 80s) toward passion, purpose, and peace—and work with organizations to build compassionate, collaborative cultures. My approach weaves Zen, coaching, systems thinking, and a lifetime of study in education and transformation. I write without firewalls at kokorozendo.life . If my work supports yours, consider buying me a coffee to help keep this space alive. Interests: Zen, Philosophy, Tai Chi, Psychology, Phenomenology, Hermeneutics, Systems Theory, and Writing.
