Coming up Saturday, August 14th, in San Francisco, California, the Sacred Commerce Workshop will seek to answer some of the following questions:

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?

This one-day introductory course will train you in three distinctions: BEING, CLEARING and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. This course is intended for anyone who is creating or participating in a commercial environment of any kind and is a prerequisite to taking the Sacred Commerce three-day seminar. This one-day introduction to Sacred Commerce will be led by Jon Marro, and Matthew and Terces of Cafe Gratitude will share tools and insights that have transformed their business endeavors into a sacred exchange.
