Meet the Team

The Experiences are planned and operated by Zarak Fatah and his team of highly trained coaches and facilitators. The ALIVE Experience coaches are are a collective of brilliant, generous humans who are fully committed to helping others reach their full potential. Some of them are; TEDx keynote speakers, Executive leadership coaches, published authors and Wellness experts.

Together we are a team that is committed to supporting people overcome their personal and/or professional challenges and get clear on who they are and what they really want for their lives.

We cannot help others until we help ourselves.

We believe that when people reconnect with who they really are, they discover that our true purpose as a collective, is to help one another and to be of service to each other and our planet.

The ALIVE Experience is a movement from a group of like-hearted, conscious, individuals who want to see a healthier, safer, happier planet. It is our intention to help those who are ready to commit to doing the work that is necessary to transform their lives.

Zarak Fatah

Zarak is a serial entrepreneur from Toronto. Over the past 20 years, owned and operated multiple successful businesses ranging from award-winning restaurants, bars, nightclubs, a spa, hair salon, and music festivals. He lived an abundant, fascinating, luxury-filled lifestyle that most only dream of. He enjoyed many things that most successful single men would enjoy including fancy cars, famous friends, endless international travel, and beautiful model girlfriends.

Despite all of this superficial ‘success’ - he woke up on his 40th birthday and faced the harsh reality that he was not where he wanted to be personally, professionally or financially. Fast-forward five years, after embarking on his own extensive personal and professional transformation through various internationally-acclaimed programs, courses, and coaching training, his life purpose is to inspire, educate, and empower people to live a fulfilled life.

This has brought more peace and joy to his life, inspiring him to create The ALIVE Experience.

Zarak is an ICF certified professional coach, graduated from the Co-Active Training Institute Professional Coach Training certification program. He’s completed several Landmark Education courses including the Introduction Leaders Program as well as the Awakened Leadership training and has completed Level 1 of the Authentic Relating Training.

Kristen Bentley

For years, Kristen lived the conventional life that many of us were told was a ‘successful life’. She was an Optometrist, wife, mother, lived in suburbia, owned vacation properties… AND… the reality was, much of this success was empty. She was burned out, unfulfilled, and disconnected from what really mattered to her. 

Kristen is an advocate for change and believes in challenging society as we know it. For the last decade, she has opened people’s minds to new, free ways of thinking and empowered them to unconventionally transform their life too. Her second run as an indepreneur involves providing game-changing, socially conscious personal development experiences for people who feel suppressed and unexpressed AND are finally ready to listen to their own voice and live in a way that changes their future, the future of their family, and the world at large.
