Business as Ceremony
A Healing-Centered Business Workshop
Program: 2.5-hour interactive live workshop
Date: December 12th, 2025 3pm EST-5:30PM EST
Reimagine Business as a Sacred, Relational Practice
As we close a year marked by complexity, acceleration, and constant change, we invite you into a different way of doing business, one rooted in lineage, relationship, and ceremony.
Business as Ceremony is a powerful 2.5-hour workshop designed for purpose-driven entrepreneurs, educators in transition, and leaders seeking to build enterprises that are aligned, spacious, and deeply rooted in values. Drawing on Clarinda Tivoli’s indigenous frameworks, Maria Tan’s relational business philosophy, and the Acosta Institute’s healing-centered business approach, this session reframes business not as extraction, performance, or pressure, but as ritual, reciprocity, and remembrance.
In this final workshop of the year, you’ll pause, breathe, and ground yourself before stepping into the year ahead. You’ll reconnect with the spirit of your work, honor your entrepreneurial lineage, and cultivate the clarity needed for strategic direction in 2026.
What We'll Explore
1. Business as Ceremony
Explore business as a ceremonial practice rooted in reciprocity, lineage, and relationship to land and community.
2. Relational Business, Capacity & Integrity
Learn how trust, capacity, and energetic clarity shape aligned offerings, client relationships, and sustainable business practices.
3. Healing-Centered Business Principles

4. Somatics, Reflection & Ritual
Engage grounding and reflective practices to release what no longer serves you and invite clarity for the year ahead.

the deeper “why” behind your work
-

-
the ceremonial practices that support your leadership

This is where healing, vision, and strategy meet.
