For spiritually-centered business owners who really need their business to support them financially.
How do you develop a business in an economy and marketplace that often feels so gross?
When the work you do feels so beautiful, important, nourishing?
When you start a business, at a certain point, you realize you need help.
And somehow you still need to make the business work without the yuck, please.
About your business when the world is burning...
It’s 2026. There are a lot of terrible things going on, politically, environmentally… We can’t ignore what’s happening (as if that were even possible)…
At the same time, our businesses need us, and there are people in the world who need what we do.
More than ever, we need heart-centered businesses to be accessible and thrive. It’s not everything, yet it’s an important part of the tapestry of care that we so desperately need.

This Learning Community is intended as a refuge, to gather with others of like mind and heart, and develop your business while anchoring more deeply in love and action.
My highest intentions for you.
Why 1-3 years to become financially sustainable?
Since 2001, I’ve been intimately involved in working on, and watching, thousands of businesses develop, including our own.
What I’ve seen consistently is that it just takes time, often 1-3 years, to learn, to iterate, to integrate. Those who want you to believe that you can do it more quickly create a burden on all of our hearts. The compassionate approach knows that beautiful things take time to tend and grow.
You can, and do, see successes along the way. Step by step, you see your business work better and better until it starts to feel really solid.
In an effort to help you do this, since 2001 Heart of Business has iterated again and again. In 2018, it came together into this Learning Community. Each piece was already time-tested, and they fit together seamlessly.
Imagine it’s three years from now and you’ve made tremendous progress with your business. You know who you’re reaching, you’re confident in what you’re doing, you’re making good money. How does that feel?
Who exactly is this Community for?
This Learning Community works because it’s very specific, and the people who belong share values and intentions.
- Micro-business owners: Meaning self-employed up to a small handful of people involved.
- Service-based businesses: You may offer products, but at core you provide a service. Accountants, architects, holistic health care practitioners, spiritual healers, coaches, artists and others.
- Shared values: Integrity is non-negotiable. Contribution and being of service are needs. Success is a good thing. Spirituality is real. You want to make a difference in the world.
- Similar needs: You need a business that earns a real living, but without compromising your heart.
- You have a passion or a gift: Maybe it’s hard to see yourself as a business person, but in your heart you just know you want to share this thing that has helped you so much, that is such a part of you. And you know there are people you can help.
And who is it not for?
- Aren’t spiritual at all. Spirituality is at the core of what we teach. All spiritual paths and orientations are welcome.
- Don’t have at least some self-direction. You’ll want to be motivated enough to engage with resources, calls and community.
- Unwilling to be courageous. Business success means visibility and taking up space. It may not be comfortable, but a willingness to try new things and risk making a mistake is important even if it is a stretch for you.
- Demand results yesterday. Some move very quickly. But development often takes time, and usually requires persistence.
- Those who are intolerant are not tolerated. We have all kinds inside: different religions and paths, and no path at all. Different cultures and races. Queer and trans. Don’t like the diversity of humanity? Please don’t join.
Joining us is like stepping into a well-established permaculture garden where there is ample choice of foods in every season. In the Heart of Business Learning Community it’s easy to find what you need to get your business running or tuned up at any stage. And this garden is full of others doing the exact same thing.
We’ve put all this together at a price that means you can make the full journey and not have to drop out half-way through.
We are offering this in a super-accessible form because we have a serious mission to see as many heart-centered people as possible able to make a good living while bringing their gifts to the world. Thousands of heart-centered business owners from many different cultures and spiritual backgrounds have already used our approach to help their businesses develop and thrive.
Please join us, and let’s rise together!
Joselito Laudencia - Client Experience
- I’ve achieved a lot more consistency in my business.
- A couple of recent months have been my best income months ever. The program has more than paid for itself.
- If I could go back in time, I wish I could go back and start with this program. It was more affordable and got me to create the foundation that I was really needing, and didn’t really know it.
- One of the real refreshing pieces of this program was being able to embrace spirituality as business.
Dr. Amina Aitsi-Selmi - Client Experience
- When I found Heart of Business, it was like a whole new world opened up.
- Understanding what selling is and how it can be healing and a form of loving was such a big release that enabled me to step into business with confidence, clarity and even joy!
- I enrolled my first four clients pretty much within a month.
- I hit my income target within the first month.
Can just anyone really develop a business?
What kind of commitment is needed?
There are just three commitments that are needed to make this work for you.
1. Kindness
To yourself, to others, to your business. Kindness with deadlines and goals, with learning, with mistakes.
2. Vulnerability
The willingness to show up exactly as you are, and ask for help.
“Uh… I’m completely lost. Here’s what’s going on (or not going on) in my business… what do I do?”
When people show up messy and vulnerable, we can get you back on track again.
3. Some self-direction
You will be learning many things through online modules, with videos and PDFs in bite-sized, do-able pieces. When you dig into these, we can use our live calls to help you apply what you’ve learned.
So, what kind of commitment is needed to be successful?
The willingness to show up vulnerably, with kindness, and ask for help.
About Mark and Holly

I founded Heart of Business in 2001, and I’m the author of (Wildhouse Press), Heart-Centered Business: Healing from toxic business culture so your small business can thrive.
A designated Master Teacher (“muqaddam murrabi“) within the Shaddhilliyya Sufi lineage, I received my Masters of Divinity with a speciality in Ministry and Sufi Studies.
As a coach, consultant, mentor and spiritual healer, I’ve worked with over 4000 business owners since 1999, facilitating thousands of individual sessions with entrepreneurs and have led hundreds of classes, seminars, groups and retreats.
My love for the planet led me to serve on the Board of Directors for the Horn Farm Center, a working farm in York, Pennsylvania, focused on educating people in the region on regenerative agriculture.
We’re in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, with Holly, our twin teen sons Sam and David, our orange tabby Ori, and our elderly husky-malamute-shepherd Rocky. Our 15 acre property is slowly being turned into a food forest to contribute to the local foodshed.
Holly Glaser
I have the same Sufi training as Mark, as well as a love of nature. I have a past incarnation as a massage therapist. I’ve recently studied both trauma and ancestral healing, have trained in Family Constellations and Nonviolent Communication. I have studied a variety of other energetic, communication and relationship healing approaches.
I’ve been dedicated to learning and teaching healing in one form or another since I graduated from college a long time ago ;-), and partnering with Mark has magnified and deepened this for me.
My degree is in Political Economy and Social Strategies for Environmental Protection. I basically studied how to change the world. The question in my heart has always been, “what is the most effective fulcurm for change?” Happily, for me, Heart of Business contains all the essential pieces of the answer.
I’ve been with Heart of Business since the beginning in a variety of roles. Supporting folks in our Learning Community is both my honor and a great joy to me.
Here’s what’s included in our Learning Community:
1
The Roadmap
(a developmental framework and individual assessment for your business.)
2
In-depth, time-tested, training modules on more than 24 aspects of business. With templates, examples, and healing including.
3
Compassionate Accountability, providing a human, relationship-centered way of moving forward without harming yourself.
4
A lot of live support, weekly. Multiple calls, each with different intentions. You are not left on your own, or lost in the crowd.
5
Safe, Courageous
and Generous Community. Facilitated, with a solid culture of care, generosity, and respect.
6
An understanding of systemic injustice, including capitalism, white supremacy, patriarchy, homophobia, and ableism. Trauma-aware.
- Alice Lee
I help neurodivergent entrepreneurs whose work demands writing and who find writing so hard it’s almost physically painful. I got one new client and finished four sessions with her in January. I sent my site to someone who had expressed an interest in me some time ago and she booked - she wants to do it! We did a discovery call the other day and she's like, "What do we do now?" And then...I noticed an email come in that I've got another one... I want to tell you about the magic. I did visioning for the new year. Four days later, I got my first inquiry from my new website. A few days after that, I did my first cold discovery call ever, and signed them up on the spot for a 4-session package.
Then when I did my monthly plan for February, I set the intention to attract at least one new client -- and now I've attracted two and it's only the middle of the month! Thank you for the encouragement and love. It means so much to me. Mark, and all of you, have cradled my spirit with such love and such profound teachings and experiences. I’m so glad to be part of this Learning Community.
- Dee Nemeth
Or find out in detail about the six parts below.
The Roadmap.
It all starts with an assessment, so you know exactly where your business is in the Four Stages of Business Development. You get a personal response to your assessment, confirming and/or refining, so you know exactly where to focus, and what you can safely ignore.
Goodbye overwhelm! You now know what you need and what to ignore for now!
Proven Business Training:
Once you have the roadmap, you can look at our library with dozens of heart-centered training modules and know exactly the one you need to start with and work through.
All of our training modules have been developed over many years. They are broken into easy-to-work-with, bite-sized pieces. Even with a busy schedule, you can complete at least one step per week. Step-by-step you’ll be on your way to having a truly sustainable business. And with each step your business works better.
What’s more, it’s all organized in a potent, easy-to-use learning system that tracks what you’ve done and what you have yet to do. There are easy-to-follow assignments, in a variety of formats- PDF, audio, video.

Compassionate Accountability
Okay, you’ve got the roadmap, you know what you need to work on. Now, we help you actually get it done.
Once a month there’s a one-hour, in-depth planning session to help you get clear on your top priorities that are in alignment with both your own heart and what your business needs.
Then, weekly, there’s a light touch compassionate accountability call where we review last week, how you can learn from what did or didn’t happen, and identify the highest priorities to take care of this week. We’re committed to helping you take the sometimes small, always consistent steps that make a big difference over time.
Client Experience - Attracting higher paying clients
I will be forever indebted to you for the very essential work that you do at Heart of Business and in this class. YES! IT WORKS!
I entered this class with a long and deep issue of not being able to be ‘comfortable’ with my prices. I had been working with a healer for a year on abundance issues, but I was at a place where I felt like I was hitting up against a brick wall over and over again.
I entered thinking that you were using different language to describe the ‘sales conversation’ just to jolt us out of our ‘issues’. I immediately realized that you were using different language because the ‘sales conversation’ for you was a real relationship and a real conversation with another human being that you wanted to treat as you would be treated.
My challenge in my business was that my product is naturally upscale but, because I was so essentially uncomfortable with my prices, I was not able to attract the right customer – someone who could and would pay my prices. On this end of the course I am miraculously feeling ABSOLUTELY comfortable with my prices!
I am attracting customers who have higher budgets to work with me. Alleluia!!!
I am so grateful for this class. The work you are doing is so rooted in integrity that it is making a new way possible for each one of us. Your work is a blessing on this planet with it’s dysfunctional economy.
Showering you all with blessings of peace and love.
~ Jasmine Sky
Coaching and Feedback, in two parts
As we discussed above, the roadmap and the training isn’t enough, because you need feedback! There are two different levels of feedback.
(Note: To keep this affordable, the Learning Community is NOT the same as individual coaching. However, it’s chock-full of support, and there are higher levels of support available to members, either in occasional individual sessions, or an ongoing smaller group.)
First, there’s the coaching library.
The questions you have, what you’re struggling with, hundreds of others have also. We have an organized library with years of past written Q&A coaching, so if you’re hashing it out at 2am, and need help, it’s there.
There’s also a collection of past coaching calls, with lists of questions. There’s individual, 15 minute recordings of coaching people have received on their core marketing message, as well as similar bite-sized recordings of people getting coached on enrollment/sales calls with potential clients.
There are website examples and reviews, and written edits for website copy and offers… it’s incredibly useful, because anything you’re facing is likely available.
Second, there’s actual coaching calls.
Three times a month there’s a live any-topic-is-welcome coaching call. And, once a month there is a longer clinic that is focused on a particular topic.
A legitimate concern about group coaching is whether one gets a “turn.” We purposefully limit the number of members, so the calls are not too crowded. It’s rare for those with a question to not be called on.
What’s more, because members are in similar situations, folks consistently tell us listening to the coaching calls answers questions they didn’t even know they had.
Plus, the conversation can be continued in the Facebook group, where no post is ignored (more on the Facebook group below), and a great deal of help happens for folks every day.
A generous, engaged community:
Our group has been described as one of the only truly safe spaces for combining business and spirit. We use a private Facebook group where our Community gives feedback, gets inspiration, and celebrates. Some folks even meet in person!
A special note about our Facebook group
For many of us, social media is both exciting and… difficult. You probably don’t feel you can truly be yourself, even in groups that have good intentions.
What’s different about our group is that we have both guidelines and… FACILITATORS! Yes, it’s facilitated! With kindness and compassion (and not a feeling of “enforcement”). It means no posting gets missed. It means that self-promotional posts only show up in appropriate places. It means that the discussions are courageous and tender, direct and compassionate.
- Lev Natan
Spiritual Nourishment
Many versions of business spirituality take what I call the “gas tank” approach: fill up on spiritual connection, then, when your tank runs down while “doing business,” go fill back up again.
Other approaches seem to be connected to versions of “think and it shall be” that can get caught inflating the ego and trying to use the world as a big shopping catalog.
Neither of those approaches have resonated with me, and I’ve seen some versions of them do real harm.
We include spirituality in the Community because there is nothing that isn’t touched and permeated by spirit.
What’s needed is not to integrate spirit and business, but to see how it’s already integrated, and to relate to reality as a humbling, sacred mystery. This kind of humble relationship with spirit directly affects our relationship with the nitty-gritty day-to-day details of being in business in profound and helpful ways.
The unquenchable thirst.
There is a Sufi quote that says “The aim is not to drink to quench your thirst. The aim is to develop the perfect thirst, so that you never stop drinking.” Amidst the practicalities of developing a business, we’re wanting to also develop the remembered awareness that we can connect in each moment, that we have access to a very deep and palpable love, to wisdom, to understanding, to guidance…
Our team and members of this Learning Community have diverse spiritual backgrounds, and people of many different faiths, including Buddhist, Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Wiccan, Jainist, Hindu, Zoraostrian and people of no path at all have found joy in the spiritual work here.
Our founder, Mark Silver, earned his Masters of Divinity, and is a designated master teacher in his Sufi lineage, which has been continual for 1400 years. The teachings have been used throughout the centuries by countless spiritual students, and support us in developing a lived experience of Love in every moment.
Holly is also steeped in these Sufi practices, while she holds a broader sense of spirituality.
Together, they hold a depth of acceptance and understanding that provides a profound and gentle container for folks to grow both their businesses and their connection to their hearts.
We offer three processes to help deepen and anchor your connection within your business.
We lead 15 minute live remembrance calls every week, and our members use our growing library of 250 different meditations to break through blocks and challenges, as well as support themselves in regular spiritual practice.
Finally, or perhaps primarily, the business teachings themselves are integrated with universal spiritual truths. We don’t just teach you what to do, but help you see the spiritual framework for why any particular teaching works, so that no matter what you do in business, every act you take is an act of love.
- Leslie Nipps
During the heart connection process, I felt a huge sense of peace and expansion. And then came the insight that Heart of Business was the first place that I felt seen and heard and responded to, without feeling people were projecting their stuff onto me, and/or telling me what to do. (It’s not the only place now, but it was the first.)
This is such an essential piece for me, in order to build my business in a way that suits me, while receiving trustworthy witnessing and guidance. So that was pretty amazing, even if it wasn’t quite what I was expecting. (It never is!)
And then came the sharing. There was a series of deep, vulnerable sharings by people on the call, which spoke directly to my heart. And what I’m dealing with currently, in life and business.
I’m celebrating the power and sheer divine magic of the Deep Heart Check In calls.
- Alice Bulmer
What does a typical week or month look like for members? (How much time does it take?)
Here’s the basic rhythm, with some allowances for holidays and such. There is a lot here. It’s rare that a member attends all live calls. Rather, we support folks to access what they need, when they need it, and leave the rest.
The live call schedule:
- Last Monday of the month, there’s an hour-long planning call for the next month, usually 2pm eastern.
- Most Mondays, there’s a 30 minute Compassionate Accountability call at 2pm eastern. The first 15 minutes is guided Remembrance, the second fifteen we review the past week and set priorities for the current one.
- Two Wednesdays per month, there’s a one-hour Deep Heart Check-In call. It can be hard to hear what our hearts are telling us, and this call is designed to take you deep, to help you find your own guidance and answers. The times rotate between 11am and 4pm eastern to accommodate different time zones. A third Wednesday it’s a support/coaching call.
- Another Wednesday per month, there’s a 90 minute deepening call, that takes one of the core spiritual teachings, like Sovereignty, the Jewel, Connection, or others, and guides you through from deep in your heart.
- Four Thursdays per month, there’s a one hour+ coaching call. The times rotate between 11am and 4pm eastern to accommodate different time zones. Once per month, one of these is a clinic on a specific topic.
- Co-working calls every week, rotating between Wednesdays and Thursdays, and different times to accommodate different time zones, members of the community come together for a very brief check-in at the start and check-out at the end, and otherwise each is working on their business. Members say this is incredibly helpful to actually just show up and get important things done.
- Community Tea Time once per month, is a purely social time for members to get to know each other. This time has been used to practice introductions, like one would do in a networking group, but in general it’s meant to strengthen the social connection and deepen trust.
Time on the Facebook group: From 30 minutes a week up to 30 minutes a day, depending on how much support you’re needing. Some members are avid Facebook users, others use a bookmark to come straight to our group. Folks give and receive emotional, spiritual, learning and technical support daily from around the world.
Plus, you’ll be working on the learning modules. It should be said that the learning modules are not “extra” time. It’s time you need to spend developing your business. Remember, you’ll be more focused, efficient and productive because you’ll be working on exactly what you need to be working on. Depending on how ambitious you are, say 1-3 hours/week. If you have more time, that’s great.
So, all told, on average, an hour a month for the planning call, plus 3-6 hours per week, which is a perfectly reasonable amount of time to be spending developing your business.
Our members find the Learning Community to be a powerful container to do the emotional and nitty-gritty work of developing their businesses. Every week people post successes, some small, some big, and often having to do with financial gains.
OHHH Virtual Retreats!…now there is a great thing you can’t find anywhere else! I have been on five day silent retreats, and self-generated weekend retreats, but 24 hours to spend with a Sufi spiritual teacher, and business coach, is a dynamite combo in my book.
I would not have thought that spirituality and business could come together and help me with my business but….here it is. This community also provides several calls during the month to get HELP. What is really great is that no matter what the problem is you get the time you need and some wonderful guidance, that I personally, find is usually spot on.
- Mary Headley
That “Pay from the Heart” Thing
Pay From The Heart means compassionate flexible pricing that takes into account both your financial situation and our need to be sustainable.
I’ve seen people struggle with sliding scales because they want to pay their “fair share.” Let me share a Sufi perspective: you can only give what you’ve been given.
We want you to feel great about the relationship- what you receive as a member, and what you give to sustain us in our giving to you.
What is sustainable for us.
We decided, from the heart and from our financial statements, to set the minimum contribution at $120/month. It is Pay From the Heart, and we’re not sustained if the majority of members pay less than $120/month, because that means we operate at a loss. Not good business modeling!
Our doing well, sustainable revenue, is for each member to pay $2500 for the year, which works out to about $208/month.
What this means for most of our members, is that if we support you to add just one or two additional client sessions per month, it pays for itself. And, of course, our intention is to help you grow a lot more than that.
Food and shelter: If you live in an economy, or are in a financial situation, where spending $120/month might mean you can’t afford food or keeping a roof over your head, you are invited with an open heart to choose an amount lower than our minimum down to a floor of $75/month. This includes those who are living on the edge, and basic quality of life would be affected by paying $120/month. If this is your situation, we’re serious about welcoming you.
If paying even $75/month would be a dangerous hardship, and you are really committed to developing your business, we welcome you to write in to us (you can use the form at the bottom of this page) explaining your situation to see if it meets a “compassionate circumstances” exception, and if we have space to support another member below the $75 floor.
Otherwise we ask you to pay at least our minimum of $120, we invite you to pay our sustainable price of $208, and welcome you to consider paying more if you can, as it balances those who cannot.
What other people charge.
When I’ve researched similar offers, most fell somewhere between $90 and $450/month. The gift here is that we have some flexibility for us to find a price that feels right in your heart as well as our own hearts.
One year commitment: Because building a business takes time, this is a 12 month membership. Those who love what we do often stick around for 2-4 years. Which is what it takes to develop a business fully into momentum.
*We do allow folks to exit before the year is up for compassionate reasons. A death in the family, intense, long-term illness, a disastrous change in personal circumstances like a house fire, or being laid off.
How it works.
First, decide if you are going to join us. Let yourself feel the possibilities of what this kind of support and training would mean to you, your heart, and your business. Sound good? Come on in!
Second, if you decide “Yes,” then make a decision of how much per month. Take time to both think about the reality of your financial situation and the needs of Heart of Business to provide this support. Then sense into your heart what number feels right on a monthly basis. We trust what you come up with, and look forward to welcoming you!
- Jill Soth
Ready to jump in?
The first word, and the last, is love. It’s not easy to maintain a connection to love and also stay grounded in what needs to happen in your business to have it flourish. In our Community we strive to integrate the engagement and work that life and business calls us to, with the spiritual reality of being present to Love in every moment.
If you’ve ever noticed how much easier it is to do spiritual practice in a group than it is on your own, then you know that the more of us together, supporting each other on this path, the easier it is for all of us.
I hope you’ll join us.
$120-$208 per month, choose the price your heart feels is right. When you click to join, you’ll be taken to a page where you can put in how much you want to pay monthly.
Or, choose the annual membership. If you jump in at our thriving rate of $208/month, and pay for the year up front, you’ll get one month free.

A Gentle Welcome
Joining any membership program can stir up a mix of excitement and uncertainty. With so many resources and possibilities, it’s common to wonder: Where do I begin? How do I make the most of this without trying to do it all at once?
That’s exactly what our New Member Orientation Calls are here for.
These live, welcoming sessions help you:
- Settle in and find your starting point
- Understand how to engage without overwhelm
- Learn how to get what you and your business needs from the community and resources
- Meet other members
Spring 2026 Orientation Call Schedule:
Wednesday, March 18, 10am-11am eastern
Monday, March 23, 4pm-5pm eastern
Thursday, April 2, 1pm-2pm eastern
Every time that I’ve posted a request or a question in the Facebook group I’ve received several warm and generous answers. In a crowd like that there will always be somebody who has some experience in the area that I need help with.
The remembrance library has become part of my daily life. So much wisdom there! It gives me the emotional support that I need for business matters and for life in general. I hope that over time I get to listen to all the recordings, because in each one of them I learn something valuable, but there are so many of them that it’ll take me a long time!
I admire the people who set up the structure and produce the resources of the community. They seem to know very well our needs, and they always show a generous desire to help us.

Other questions people ask
What if I don’t have a business?
If you have no intention to ever start a business, then you’ll probably feel out of place, because the focus is on business development. 🙂
However, if you intend to start a business, and are having trouble getting started, then the Compassionate Accountability structure, and the heart nourishment we have here may be just the thing to help you take the steps you need to get started.
There is no “holier than thou” attitude here, all are welcome, and people are at many different levels of experience and history around business.
Is there a guarantee? Can I cancel? Do you give refunds?
We have poured our hearts into this community to offer a LOT of support while also making it as inexpensive as possible. We’ve seen other communities charge high prices for similar offerings, and yet we feel great about offering this at Pay from the Heart pricing.
One thing that adds a lot of hidden costs to a program are administrative costs. Someone will ask for what seems like a simple thing, like a special payment plan, not realizing that hours of administrative time can be quickly eaten up.
So, after a lot of prayer and discussion, here’s our policy for this program:
Guarantees: We guarantee to deliver what we promise. In a catastrophic situation where we are unable to deliver what we promise, and are unable to make up for it in a timely fashion, we will communicate with the community at that point, and figure out the best way to compensate for what happened.
Cancellations: Please take the first 30 days of your membershiup to see how well we can support you. You can cancel in the first 30 days, and you will only have paid for one month. After the first 30 days, compassionate cancellations are allowed for disastrous changes in your personal situation, and we will stop any future payments scheduled. Otherwise, this is an annual membership.
Refunds: If you have paid in advance for the full year, and you cancel in the first 30 days, or have a compassionate cancellation as described above, we will refund you on a pro-rated basis. There are no other refunds for past, or current, monthly payments.
What if I can’t join right now? Is enrollment always open?
We generally open for new members three times per year, and, occasionally, to those on the Wait List at other times. If membership is open, we encourage you to step in, even if you don’t have space to go gangbusters immediately.
The alternative, waiting months to dig in, can also work, if it meets your timeline. Either way, we trust what your heart tells you.

More Community Member Experiences
The Community has provided me a forum to have my questions answered, get feedback on parts of my business I am working on, and even keep me accountable to my business tasks. As the only practitioner in my business, it can be easy to get distracted, put off other tasks, or just feel like I am spinning my wheels. If I want, any day, I can check in with the Community and know that I am not alone. I can see my business growing along side others. Together, we work on the monthly focus and bring ideas to areas where we feel stuck or vulnerable. It is nice to have a place where I’m not the only one who has questions and sometimes, I can be one to help another person get clarity. Most of all, it doesn’t matter if you are just starting out or been in business for years, there is something for everyone.
If you are already called to the work Heart of Business does, you know that taking care of your heart matters. It matters for your business. It matters because your business is bringing healing to the world in such needed times. It can be easy to let go of spiritual practices, I know as I’ve been there too many times. We slip but we can also come back. Being part of the Community also means that I can keep my heart connected to the Divine through the guided Remembrance recordings (that I put on my computer and phone – listening on the go or even at the gym), I have a forum to ask questions of the heart. I have been able to be gentle enough with myself to take a whole day off every other month for the Virtual Retreat. Even when I don’t have questions, being available to support and witness other people’s journeys is where I need to be.
Since diving into the Community, my business has seen me step into it and really take stewardship. My e-mail list has grown, my writing is improving and there is more clarity about who I am serving. I have been able to get important systems in place to help make some tasks easier to do and provide more support to my clients. I have been able to embark on bigger projects because I have the ability to ask questions, benefit from the experiences and gifts of the other members, and bring these to the community I serve – which is saving me hours of research about learning the necessary programs to get the work done. My heart is being supported in my own healing journey and even though it is something I feel is more personal, having the community be able to cheer me on or witness it allows me to keep with it when it gets tough or challenges me (gently and lovingly) when I try to step away from it.
If you are thinking about joining the Community, know that the safe space is ready when you are with welcoming moderators and community participants. The forum and the calls bring our hearts together so we don’t have to walk alone – because every step is important. Whether you want help finding reliable software for a task you are undertaking, looking for feedback as you write your website, or want a community of like-minded spiritual business people, this is a great place for your heart and the heart of your business. Hope to see you soon.
