You are the type of person that cares deeply about others and the world we live in. You feel called to be a part of some bigger movement that is helping to transform people’s lives and the world around you. You long to be your own boss and to make your living supporting others and helping others change their lives. 

But it’s hard! Business and spirituality don’t easily mix. In this class, Cynthia walks us though how we can design our business so that we can move closer towards simultaneously fulfilling our calling, creating financial freedom, and doing good in the world.

The Foundations of Wellness Teaching - free event!

Online • Wednesday, January 17, 2024 • 12 pm - 1:30 pm ET

Add to GCal • Add to Ical • See in your timezone

We’re all here because we want to be of help to others! But how can we best set ourselves up for success in doing that? Beyond subject matter training, how can we best show up for our clients? As healers and wellness teachers living amongst the wellness industrial complex, how can we ensure that we are helping people, and not causing harm? Many training and certifications teach us the practices, but may only nod at important subjects like how to hold space for people in crisis, how to teach the practices without our egos getting in the way, and how to work with special populations.

Holy Shift founder Liza Kindred takes us on a gentle exploration of the foundations of wellness teaching: being a spiritual friend first, holding the seat of the student, awareness of power dynamics, staying authentic (like, for real), and more. It’s possible to gain confidence by using a framework for how to best show up for clients–and ourselves.

This free live online class is open to all, members and guests alike. Join us!

"Holding space." We hear the phrase over and over, and probably have some experience doing it, but what exactly is holding space? It can be a tricky concept to define, and one of the most crucial aspects in our roles as healers. In this class, Liza chats with expert space-holder Cynthia Santiago-Borbón, a transformational life coach and clinically-trained therapist, to ground this concept and find confidence in our space-holding abilities... even when it feels like the world is burning.
