Welcome to Planetary Citizens Global Fund!
Thank you for joining us on this journey. I’m Zen Benefiel, great-grandfather, successful coach, entrepreneur, and the creative force behind this initiative. My work stems from over fifty years of research, study, and personal transformation focused on learning how to create harmony among people and the planet.
As an orphan who embraced the world as my family, connecting with many worlds, I’ve thrived in the perpetual change of life, dedicating myself to servant leadership and fostering community at every turn. This initiative is born of a deep understanding of our current planetary need for transformation and a commitment to co-creating a sustainable future where all can thrive.
We aren’t resisting change; we’re embracing it. This site is designed to educate, connect, and support a ‘new normal’—one that benefits everyone. It exemplifies what can be achieved with vision, passion, and limited resources, with an invitation for those who resonate to join in and help.
As we step into a new age of intelligence—where science and spirituality converge—remarkable opportunities emerge. Together, we have the chance to draw from both ancient wisdom and cutting-edge discoveries to realize the true ‘apocalypse’: the unveiling of a new world based on shared understanding, collaboration, and love.
We invite you to explore, engage, and envision how we can collectively advance toward a brighter future.
Statement of Purpose and Rationale
Planetary Citizens is here to encourage a global community rooted in unity, collaboration, and a shared journey of growing collective consciousness. We’re bringing together pioneers and innovators committed to creating holistic solutions across society. Through practices in conflict resolution and group coherence, we aim to break down the walls that divide us, creating a collaborative platform for connection, education, and shared vision.
Years of learning and sharing experiences with thought leaders like Dr. Ervin Laszlo, a pioneer in quantum systems thinking, have shown me that we’re all connected by a shared energetic field. By aligning our actions with harmony, we can co-create a world that reflects our best potential.
Why This Work Matters
We’re at a pivotal point where traditional problem-solving doesn’t quite meet today’s needs. After decades of working with methodologies to build coherence in groups and communities, I’ve come to understand that sustainable change requires a deeper look into our connections and the interwoven systems shaping our world.
Through podcasts, events, and workshops—both online and in person—we seek to inspire conversations that naturally align with an ascending consciousness. Blending science and spirituality in our gatherings, we aim to bring forth a new wave of planetary growth that honors our interconnectedness and shared responsibility.
Personal Mission and Background
My mission flows from a strong belief in coherence and conscious leadership. Throughout my career, I’ve worked to harmonize both hard and soft skills—from conflict resolution to team building—creating spaces where people and ideas come together to achieve meaningful change.
Over 30 years, I’ve been privileged to guide transformations of people, places, and projects through a blend of spiritual insight and scientific understanding of quantum principles. This journey began with a transformative experience at 18, sparking a lifelong commitment to learning and growth.
An Invitation to Co-Create
I know these ideas may challenge conventional thinking, but I trust that following our inner guidance reveals their truth. Instead of asking, “Why?”, I ask, “Why not?” If you feel drawn to this vision, I invite you to support it however feels right to you.
If you’re here, it may be for a reason. Together, we have a chance to create a world that reflects our highest aspirations and deepest connections. My work, Navigating Holistic Growth: The Servant Leader’s Guide, offers insight into how we can keep developing these ideas.
I’m available for conversations, interviews, and speaking engagements on harmony, synergy, and consciousness. Let’s work together to bring our shared dreams to life.
With gratitude and love,
Zen Benefiel, MA, MBA, TLC, DD
