Introduction to Healing-Centered Business
A Healing-Centered Business Workshop
Facilitated by Clarinda Tivoli & Dr. Angel Acosta
June 12th, 2026 | 2:00 PM – 4:30 PM ET

Reimagining Business in Overwhelming Times
What if business could feel more human?
More relational. More spacious. More aligned with your values, your body, your community, and the kind of future you actually want to help create.
In a time where many people feel exhausted by traditional models of success, entrepreneurship, and leadership, this workshop offers a different entry point.
Introduction to Healing-Centered Business is an immersive 2.5-hour experience designed for entrepreneurs, educators in transition, consultants, creatives, nonprofit leaders, and purpose-driven professionals seeking a more sustainable and life-giving way to work and lead.
Facilitated by Clarinda Tivoli and Dr. Angel Acosta, this workshop introduces participants to an emerging framework that integrates healing-centered practice, relational leadership, indigenous wisdom, contemplative reflection, and strategic business thinking.
Together, we will explore what it means to build businesses, projects, and professional lives that do not require the abandonment of self, culture, integrity, or community in order to succeed.
Why This Workshop?
Over the last year, the Acosta Institute’s Healing-Centered Business series—including workshops like Business as Ceremony and Ceremony as Business Strategy—has convened a growing community of people searching for a different way to engage business and leadership.
Again and again, participants have asked:
- How do I actually begin doing business in this way?
- What does healing-centered business look like in practice?
- How do I move away from burnout, performance, and extraction?
- Is it possible to build a business rooted in care, reciprocity, and sustainability?
This workshop was created as an accessible entry point into that exploration.
What We’ll Explore
Relational Approaches to Business
Explore the difference between transactional and relational models of business, and how trust, reciprocity, and authenticity can reshape the way we lead and serve.
Healing-Centered Leadership & Entrepreneurship
Learn foundational principles from the Acosta Institute’s Healing-Centered Business framework, including embodiment, capacity, discernment, relational trust, and sustainable growth.
Ceremony, Reflection & Meaning-Making
Discover how ceremonial and contemplative practices can support clarity, alignment, transitions, and strategic decision-making in professional life.
Business, Identity & Lineage
Reflect on how your lived experiences, ancestry, culture, and values shape the way you build, organize, and imagine your work.
Strategic Reflection for the Future
Participants will engage prompts and practices that support clearer thinking around:
- vision
- pacing
- offers and partnerships
- leadership capacity
- alignment between values and structure
What Makes This Approach Different?
This is not simply a business workshop focused on scaling, productivity hacks, or optimization.
This experience invites participants to:
- slow down enough to listen deeply
- reconnect with the spirit and intention behind their work
- explore business as a site of healing, creativity, and collective flourishing
- build from alignment rather than exhaustion
We believe business can become a practice of relationship, stewardship, imagination, and care.

- Entrepreneurs and consultants
- Educators exploring new pathways
- Nonprofit and community leaders
- Creatives and facilitators
- Purpose-driven professionals in transition
- Anyone longing for a more humane way of working and leading
No prior business experience is required.

- a foundational understanding of healing-centered business
