Center all of who you are as you grow your business while being held by the ancient wisdom of this 5 star tropical oasis. As heart-centered, spirit-led people it is so hard to see who we are and where we fit in, even as we develop our wellness business. In our desire to serve, we often feel like we have to succumb to the whimsy of the needs of others. In our desire to be structured we can feel disconnected from our purpose in our business. As people of color, it is so easy to feel like you are not visible and your voice is invalid as you desire to expand and take up space.
At "Sanctuary" you will learn to center your unique perspective, so that you can make room for all of you to show up, attract your ideal client, seek aligned partnerships and thrive in your business while feeling GOOD about it all.
Tailored to the BIPOC Spiritual practitioner, "Sanctuary" is a business retreat like no other. We believe that not only is a structured business necessary, but that your Spiritual practices, heart-centered approach and like-minded community are all necessary components to developing a business that not only mirrors who you are, but also brings to life the vision imparted in you.
You can NOT develop what you can not see. You can not feel comfortable developing what is your heart and mind using approaches from people who do not understand your principles, perspective or unique needs. Whether you are a practitioner in an ancient, indigenous Spiritual system or someone who sees the world from a heart-centered place, this retreat is for those who understand that the work that you do is a part of your Spirit's purpose earth-side. This retreat is for those who have taken business courses and received the knowledge, but don't know how to apply it because you feel like something is missing. This retreat is for those who know that your business can do more, but YOU are getting in the way. Join us as we delve into Mindset, The Psychology of Money, Branding and Publicity all from a heart-centered worldview. Grow (or develop) YOUR business - centering your vision, your values, and understand your unique impact as you learn proven business strategies for success.
