New Sacred Commerce 2 Day Registration Process - Pay It Forward
To hold your seat at the workshop we require a deposit. We suggest $50.

After experiencing the 2 day workshop, you get to decide the true value of this work and consider the benefit it may bring to others in your life and the community.  You will be given the option to adjust your initial amount to a value that is truly reflective of your experience. 

Opening our hearts to a new view of business: 
Edmonton and Nelson Workshops are now “Pay it Forward” for all attendees!

If you were to pay this forward for the people in your life what would it be? 
Paying for the seat of the person in front of you.

Think about the value that you are getting out of the workshop and what value you see in this for the people in your life.  How much would you be willing to contribute to bringing the people in your life to this work? By you committing to paying it forward, we’re committed to continuing this work.

SACRED COMMERCE

What if awakening was the context at your workplace? What if management meant being accountable for the spiritual emergence of one’s staff as well as the well being of one’s company? What if conflicts in your work community were acknowledged as a chance to heal collective wounds? What if the mission of your business was to usher in a sustainable, spiritually fulfilling society?

Sacred Commerce is the practice of having the Eternal Present in business, relationship and community as a path to awakening. The acknowledgement of others as whole human beings and people is the highest investment. It is creating money as an exchange of goods, services and communication as a sacred opportunity. 

Regardless of your position at work, this course will provide you with the tools to embark on the path to creating a more productive, fulfilling and profitable Life for all. 

Transparency:
We discovered during our four days in Calgary that the true value in Sacred commerce is in the experiencing of it. Our Calgary community has taught us the value of accessibility and brought us to a new commitment to make this transformative work more available to everyone. This new “pay it forward” structure is what is currently used in the United States for all Sacred Commerce workshops. 

We now realize that the power of holding the integrity of this payment structure most honours the work and is the best way to “walk the talk” in sharing it with our community.  We acknowledge we are changing the fee structure and apologize if we have created any miscommunication.  We move forward with clarity and invite you to join us in this experience of awakening within your business, life and relationships. 

THIS WEEKEND COURSE IS INTENDED TO BE AN EXPERIENTIAL HANDS ON TRAINING OF AWAKENING THAT YOU CAN TAKE WITH YOU AND IMPLEMENT INTO ALL AREAS OF YOUR LIFE.

TESTIMONIALS

“Before Dharma, I would hit my awakening “snooze” button whenever I went into work.  Most places I worked made no space for awakening; and certainly didn’t encourage it.  Dharma has taught me that commerce with compassion not only helps me understand and meet the needs of my valued merchant community, but it also allows me to practice my commitment to service, to consciousness, and to love.  At night, I lay my head on the pillow knowing that my work has allowed me to practice what I believe; love for my community, love for mother earth, love for my colleagues and love for myself.”

-Alexia Marcous (Co-founder of Dharma Merchant Services, a Sacred Commerce business)

"This has been an amazing, heart-opening experience that has brought me closer to the human spirit. A profound experience of connection Thank you for contributing to this workshop. A delight."

-Leslie

"Café Gratitude swept me off my feet. My training in the art of Sacred Commerce provided the opportunity to transform myself into who I had always wanted to be. Now I get to interact with the world in a way that I feel proud of. Through my participation in this business, I love who I am and the work that I do…. I have gained a sense of self and purpose in the world. I have the life of my dreams. I live a life of meaningful service. I make a difference. I am beautiful. I get to say who I am: I am the creator of my experience."

-Megan Marie Brien (former Café Gratitude employee)
