The ACMM Wild Peace Retreat in the Blue Mountains, NSW was the setting for our most recent Business Lounge session. After 2 ½ days of meditation and movement, nurturing and nature, we dove headlong into the business of meditation. The session covered how to make your Meditation Business a Success by building relationships for your meditation business. It was a true collaboration from our ACMM community at retreat, sharing ideas and creating a space of support and growth for everyone.
What was covered?
Many powerful ideas were discussed, including:
The opportunity for Business Lounge members to facilitate specific business skills sessions for the Business Lounge community. Eg. Website Development, Canva, Facebook, Insta, Sound Recording, Strategic Planning, Business Regulations. A true sharing and collaboration for the benefit of all members.
