The Holistic Mentorship Network is approaching four years old, conceived and discussed much before that, the vision began with Linda, hearing a need from holistic practitioners. I have been honored to be part of the forming of HMN as a board member since the board was formed, and now as Chair of that board, although we work primarily in a collaborative partnership. In my role as a board member and member, I have witnessed the growth of HMN, through new chapters, new events, and growing awareness.
The members of HMN are the real heart of the organization, and as a board, we are always mindful of the members and the community at large. The vision for the growth of HMN is a BIG vision, that includes a growing membership, businesses education tele-seminars, webinars, and workshops; conferences, vendor events and explosive growth of our premier magazine MARCI.
Within this vision there are many opportunities for you to be involved and for us to support you and your growth. We want to have an active and engaged membership.
Our priorities right now are:
·Growing the membership: Invite your friends/colleagues, List us on your website, Become a Fan of MARCI and HMN on Facebook, Add us to your listing on social networks like SelfGrowth.com, Facebook, and LinkedIn
·Upgrading the website: we want you to able to update your own profile, we want the site to be more searchable and useful for people looking for you!
·Adding business development, business education classes via tele-seminar and workshops. We want to provide you with the tools that you need to build a business that thriving.
·Increasing the subscriber base of MARCI to 50,000++++. MARCI is an excellent publication, but more than that it is ours, the members and we can use it in our businesses, to promote our brand, our services and the growth of MARCI only helps us.
You can see that HMN is a BIG vision organization. We are grateful for you and all that you contribute. And, if you are interested in being more involved here are 3 ways you can help us to grow and succeed:

Holistic Healers: Being broke can be cured.
11am Thursday November 5th Nurtured Spirit 252 Pine Island Turnpike, Pine Island, NY. Presenters: Christine and Michael Lake
This workshop is a two hour talk aimed at Holistic practitioners who wish to increase the number of clients they help and to grow their practice. Hour one will be led by Christine Regan who will help you change your perception of wealth creation and abundance. Often, the key to greater abundance can come from simply a shift in focus and the elimination of limiting beliefs about money that many of us subconsciously hold.
Hour two will be led by Christine’s husband, Michael, who will guide you through some very practical steps to create and/or improve the marketing efforts of your practice. The key to effectively finding more clients comes from discovering a more intimate understanding of their needs combined with a compelling way of communicating your understanding and your particular solution to those needs. Michael will take you through an entertaining and enlightening exercise of that type of marketing discovery.
