Early Beginnings
In the vibrant tapestry of the early 1990s, a thread emerged that would weave its way through the fabric of time to reemerge three decades later.
This thread was the “One World” TV show, a visionary project hosted by Zen Benefiel, a man whose name would become synonymous with the exploration of consciousness and the unification of global citizens.
Early on, from 1990, and before his moniker arrived, he produced over 120 TV shows peering into the depths of how inner and outer worlds were aligned for personal and professional success.
“One World” was more than just a show; it was a beacon for those seeking deeper understanding and connectivity at a time when the world was on the cusp of a digital revolution. Khigh Dheigh’s World Citizen Pledge was the inspiration for conceiving of Planetary Citizens decades ago.
Zen’s unique ability to engage with topics of sustainability, unity, and conscious living resonated with many, providing a platform for dialogue and discovery.
Zen is available for interviews . Seen below, Dr. Robert Gilman, founder of Context Institute and planetary midwife, says “Zen feels like an emissary from the future, a time when many more people aer at home with a wider scope of consciousness. It’s not an easy role to be in but Zen has lived it with openness courage, humily and grace. It was a delight to talk with him and I reccomend his story to you.”
Like a phoenix, “One World” was reborn as “One World in a New World,” resonating with a modern audience navigating a digitally saturated, post-pandemic world. Returning as both host and visionary 3 decades later, Zen created a platform where thought leaders, experts, and everyday individuals shared transformative stories and bold ideas, sparking innovation and inspiring collective action.
With over one million views, the show transcended borders and ideologies, offering a blueprint for a unified, sustainable future. Featuring generative conversations with leaders across industries, Zen’s voice echoed as a call to shape our collective destiny, reminding us that our challenges and triumphs are shared in the unfolding narrative of a new world.
