Warm Greetings
Hello, I’m Venüs Bengisu Balta, Founder of Atelier Zen Ben.
Born in Istanbul, Turkey, shaped by experiences across the world,
my journey began with a curiosity to understand people, systems, and the interconnectedness of life.
Following my Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering and Master’s degree in International Business, I developed my career across Human Resources, Organizational Systems and Individualised Programmes.
Alongside my corporate career, I have continued to invest in my personal and professional development through more than 500 hours of specialized trainings in Yoga, Meditation, Mindfulness, Ceremonial Work, and I am among Turkey’s emerging facilitators in the field.
For the past 10 years, I have worked in Human Resources - Organisational Development departments across diverse industries, ranging from manufacturing and aviation to finance and global services.
I began my career as an intern at Dearsan Shipyard and went on to work with organizations including Kardemir Iron & Steel, TAV Airports, Ferrari Logistics in London, İşbank Investment Advisory in London, Yıldırım Holding, Uğurcan Customs Consultancy, and VFS Global.
Through these experiences across both local and global organizations,
I have had the opportunity to closely observe and experience different organizational cultures, business models, leadership approaches, and ways of working.
Experiences, including the trials, errors, and lessons along the way, have continually transformed into wisdom, curiosity, and a willingness to keep learning every day.
My approach is shaped by over 500 hours of training across yoga, mindfulness, and ancient wisdom methodologies, combined with extensive corporate experience.
Equally important is an ongoing personal journey of self-learning and wellbeing—because the way one learns to hold space is inseparable from the way one continues to grow.
I believe in bringing together the needs of modern life with perspectives rooted in ancient wisdom. Real transformation emerges when these two worlds are able to inform, support, and enrich one another.
I would be delighted to connect and explore our potential to work together.

Individualized Services
-
Inner Compass Mentorship
A personalised mentoring journey for individuals navigating transition, uncertainty, personal growth, or a deeper search for meaning.
Drawing from mindfulness, coaching methodologies, contemplative practices, embodiment work, and ancient wisdom traditions, these sessions support participants in cultivating self-awareness, clarifying direction, and reconnecting with their authentic path.
This offering is designed for those who feel called to live and lead from a place of greater alignment, purpose, and inner trust.
-
Mindfulness & Meditation
Mindfulness is more than a technique — it is a way of relating to ourselves and the world with greater awareness and compassion.
Through guided practices, reflective inquiry, and practical tools, these sessions help participants cultivate presence, emotional resilience, self-awareness, and a more conscious relationship with everyday life.
Suitable for both beginners and experienced practitioners seeking a deeper connection with themselves.
-
In Person Water Therapy Sessions
Water has a unique capacity to soften, regulate, and restore.
Combining mindful presence, breath awareness, movement, and the supportive qualities of water, these sessions offer a deeply nurturing environment for relaxation, emotional release, nervous system regulation, and embodied exploration.
Water therapy invites us to reconnect with trust, surrender, and the intelligence of the body in a safe and supportive setting.
A Journey of Integration
At the heart of all my work is a simple belief: we do not need to choose between the material and the spiritual, achievement and wellbeing, ambition and presence.
These seemingly separate worlds are brought into dialogue, we create the possibility for a more integrated way of living — one that honours both our humanity and our potential.In remembering our connection with nature, we often remember ourselves.
