About Robert Greenwood

For over 30 years, Robert Greenwood has guided thousands of individuals in reducing and eliminating unhealthy stress, helping them cultivate inner freedom, purpose, and fulfillment. 

His approach blends deep empathetic wisdom with practical strategies, cutting through deeply ingrained patterns of stress while equipping clients with personalised action plans for immediate implementation.

Robert was educated at Eton College and earned an Honours degree at the University of Portsmouth. 

He later gained a Commission in HM Forces, rising to the rank of Captain while serving with the Royal Green Jackets Regiment. Following his Army career, he immersed himself in the world of extreme adventure, earning prestigious instructor certifications in mountaineering, rock climbing, skiing, canoeing, and paragliding. Utilising this expertise, he went on to establish a dynamic personal transformation training company, 'Zen Adventures' in the rugged wilderness of Snowdonia, North Wales, where he taught and empowered individuals to face and transform their fears and embrace the thrill of feeling truly alive and present in the here and now..

Robert then went on to embark on a profound inner journey, dedicating over a decade of his life to personal transformation and spiritual awakening under some of the world’s most renowned teachers. His mentors included Yoga Master Mansukh Patel, Peak Performance Coach Anthony Robbins, Zen Master OSHO, Mindfulness Master Thich Nhat Hahn, Tibetan Buddhist Master Soygyl Rinpoche, and NLP pioneers Robert Dilts, Richard Bandler, and John Seymour, Native American Metis Deer Tribe Chief Harley Swiftdeer Reagen and many others.

This immersive path led him to live as a monk for over a year, where he engaged in deep spiritual practices such as fasting, silent meditation, contemplation, vision quests, pilgrimage, and extended retreats. 

His dedication to growth didn’t end there—he continued to refine his expertise, earning qualifications as an NLP Practitioner and Sport Psychologist. Alongside these foundational credentials, he deepened his practice by becoming a Sound Healing Therapist, Reiki Practitioner, and Inner Game Coach. 

As a Yoga and Meditation teacher, he seamlessly integrates these disciplines into his present day holistic approach to personal transformation that empowers others to cultivate balance, resilience, and inner mastery.

In 1997, Robert founded Zen Adventures, a transformative mountain-based retreat program designed to help individuals confront fear and cultivate fearlessness. His immersive experiences combine meditation and personal development tools with outdoor adventure challenges, empowering participants to grow in mind and body. These retreats, hosted annually in Snowdonia, provide a supportive wilderness setting, allowing guests to disconnect from digital distractions and immerse themselves in growth and transformation.

Currently, Robert focuses his work on three key areas:

• Business Consultancy – Coaching leadership and team-building strategies for senior managers and rising talent.
• Sports Psychology – Specialising in golf and peak performance coaching.
• Stress Consulting – Personal coaching through The Zenologist, providing accessible and effective stress-relieving  approaches/solutions.

Having experienced profound shifts in consciousness, Robert dedicates his life to helping individuals overcome stress, fear, and personal limitations, ensuring they thrive with clarity, resilience, and purpose.
