Take a Medicine Walk
with the Soul of Your Business

The Soul of Your Business

You were born with a purpose, a particular calling that can express itself in a variety of ways.  Responding to that call, you’ve birthed a business to serve as a vehicle for transforming the raw material of your calling into a thriving livelihood.

I use the word “birthed” intentionally.  I invite you to consider that your business is not just an inanimate thing that you started one day and now have to figure out how to build.  Rather, it came through you, was birthed through your creative genius, and it has a vitality of its own and a soul of its own.

When you don’t realize this, the tendency is to try to grow your businesses by making strategic decisions about what you think you should and shouldn’t do. Or worse, what other people think you should or shouldn’t do. And that invariably leads to struggle and to a business that isn’t aligned with the truth of who you are.

Instead, if you shift to seeing your business as a living entity that’s separate and distinct from you, it opens the possibility for you to have a relationship with it. And in that relationship, you can ask your business how it wants to express itself and what it needs next.

It’s much like raising a child wherein the best parents know they are stewards of their child’s soul, charged with listening to who that child is destined to become and then giving them what they need to thrive.

You can do the same with your business.

Now you could sit at your desk and try to have a heady conversation with the soul of your business and you might get a response.  You might also just get frustrated.

Souls by nature are wild and often a bit shy when it comes to direct, head-on questioning.  It’s just not their way of communicating, or their language.  You’ll likely have much more success listening to the soul of your business if you create the right context for the conversation.

A Medicine Walk in nature can do just that because it recognizes the way in which outer nature can serve as a clear and beautiful mirror for our own inner nature.  It can help you hear the language of soul.

Overview of a Medicine Walk

In a Medicine Walk, you are essentially embarking on an intentional journey into liminal space, the betwixt-and-between space that resides beyond our everyday world of meaning yet this side of the full mystery of the unseen world.

You venture forth with a question held clearly in your heart.  On your walk you have an experience in which you allow Nature to reflect back to you wisdom and guidance in response to your question.

Just to be clear, this is not you out on a walk trying to figure out the answer to your question.  Instead, you know your question but then you “tuck it in your back pocket” and just allow the mystery of the experience to reveal the insight you need.

You return with a story of your experience, a Medicine Walk Story. 

My gift to you is a set of clear guidelines on how to explore your experience in a way that reveals how the soul of your business wants to authentically express itself and what specifically it needs from you to do so.

Doing Susanna’s Medicine Walk with the Soul of My Business was the single most profound exercise I have EVER done for my business. She guided me to go deep into the heart of the sacred Feminine and listen to my business as a living being with a soul that is expressing itself.

I went on a divine (physical walking) journey through nature, held in the container of the ritual, and discovered deep inner truths about the work I’m here to do that I never would have found in my logical mind. When I shared the story of my Medicine Walk with Susanna, she was raptly present with me and reflected my story back to me in a way that revealed even deeper layers of meaning and insight about the work I’m here to do, what it is and how it want to express itself.

This is the first time I have clearly seen the inner spiritual gifts and purpose of my work. I now have a vast richness to bring to work and my clients that I just wasn’t aware of before. It has profoundly informed me as I stepped into being the CEO of Eyes Wide Open. I feel so grateful!

About your guide, Susanna Maida:

Susanna Madia PhDSusanna Maida, Ph.D., is a wild woman alchemist who surprised herself and everyone who knew her by falling in love with the entrepreneurial spirit.  She’s passionate about giving evolutionary women (and men) who care deeply about the fate of our world, the soul-satisfying sense of alignment that comes from growing thriving, world-changing businesses doing their great work.

Called “a gift from the goddess” by some of her clients, Susanna is known for blending conscious business practices, an orientation to inner transformation that honors the sacred in everything, and a strong focus on cultivating “right relationships” with the complex interweaving threads of work and life.  Weaving these together, she shows entrepreneurs in the business of transformation how to generate a generous income while serving more people in less time, all with greater feminine ease and grace.

Motivated women touched by Susanna’s gifts have gone from their business being just a twinkle in their eye to working with their first high-end clients in a mere few months.  From there, they learn how to flourish wildly while making their greatest contribution to a world in need.

Unafraid to go for what she really wants, Susanna took one look at where the path of her first “proper” career as a groundwater hydrologist was taking her and decided it would squeeze the life out of her.

So she ditched that profession and followed her passion for nature and the river.  She then spent ten amazing years leading whitewater rafting trips and teaching whitewater schools.  One day, while sitting in the back of her raft as it lazily floated between two big rapids, she realized she could never again stuff herself into any sort of “normal” job.

She promptly got seduced into doing a Ph.D. in “Transformative Learning and Change” because she just couldn’t resist learning how to facilitate deep transformation.  That was way before “transformation” was a seemingly common household word.  Ever since, she’s been using her creative maverick energy to help visionary women (and men) get to the truth of why they’re here and create a lucrative business for bringing that out into the world.
