The Ceremony of Business: Profitable Businesses with Indigenous Wisdom

Description

A 4 Hour Online Class for the intentional businessperson, exploring sustainable and profitable frameworks of ceremony in business. 

Who it’s for 

This class is open to all folx (solo/teams) at any stage of business or leadership, who want to increase their revenue without compromising their values.

In class, we’ll explore:

• Indigenous Ingenuity: High leverage strategies for rapid revenue growth

• Money, culture and the moral conflict of sales (an historical deep dive)

• “Can an anti-capitalist business exist within capitalism?”

• Movement Making: Sales without coercion, activism without martyrdom

• Sliding scales for economic justice (and profit)

• The sacred roles and responsibilities in comms (Story Keeping)
• Business and Ceremony: The decolonization of ALL relationship

Plus | 1:1 Follow Up Support Session with Clarinda (optional)

Once you watch the classes – you’ll understand how it may raise more questions than answers for you. This is a good thing, however it can feel a little disorientating, and/or overwhelming.

As follow up support, you may schedule a brief 1:1 chat with Clarinda (IF you like – there is no obligation)!

If you’re feeling the need to:

• Ask questions,
• Clarify personal next steps/strategies, or
• Get customized and expert feedback/recommendations…

Then book a brief 1:1 chat as follow up support- this is complimentary.

Important Note: These classes are naturally Indigenous-centered, specifically Oceania/Pasifika oriented as this informs Clarinda’s cultural view. Classes are open to all – but be mindful that they are taught from a decolonial lens. This may be uncomfortable or unappealing to some.

***Sliding Scale Guideline***
Words credited to Worts and Cunning

• True Cost: $350

This reflects the true cost of the class. It is the cost that would be charged to all students in the absence of a sliding scale. If you have access to financial security, own property or have personal savings, you would not traditionally qualify for sliding scale services. If you are able to pay for “wants” and spend little time worried about securing necessities in your life, you have economic privilege and power in our community. This price is for you.

• Sliding Scale Option 1: $250

This reflects the teacher’s acknowledgement that paying the full cost would prevent some folks from being able to attend, but who do not honestly find themselves reflected in either descriptions for the highest cost or the lowest. If you are struggling to conquer debt or build savings or move away from paycheck to paycheck living but have access to steady income and are not spending most of your time thinking about meeting basic needs such as food, shelter, medical care, child care, etc., you belong here. If you, however, can ask others for financial support, such as family members, partners, or friends, please consider using those personal resources before you use the resources of the sliding scale and limit opportunities for others.

• Sliding Scale Option 2: $150

This represents an honest acknowledgment by the teacher that there are folks whose economic circumstances would prevent them from being a part of classes if there was not a deliberate opportunity made for them to access services at a cost that is reflective of their economic realities. If you struggle to maintain access to needs such as health care, housing, food, child care, and are living paycheck to paycheck or are in significant debt, you probably belong here and you deserve a community that honors your price as equal an economic offering as the person who can pay the highest tier.

If you are Black, Indigenous and/or PGM (People of the Global Majority) and the bottom cost is still prohibitive, you may contact me directly re: scholarship – clarinda@thematriarchalbusiness.com
