Social impact: how does your business help the community or the world?


We are so inspired by the businesses in our community because of how many of them are committed to helping to make the world better than it is today. Check out some great businesses below and how they are helping others.
I started my business after a very painful “dark night of the soul”, which is the process of your entire life, ego, and the illusions we like to keep up being burned to ash in front of you all at once. It was the most painful experience of my life but I am grateful for it as it leads to a spiritual awakening. The suffering I went through during that time was so horrific, I didn’t want anyone else to go through that alone again. I created a “coven” , the babe cave coven, (named after the space i redid in my basement, like a man cave , but for babes), of like minded soul family, and started teaching spiritual workshops, offering shadow work and energy healing , as well as spiritual counseling.

The Guru Experience impacts the world and helps the community by addressing a critical need—creating meaningful opportunities for talent to flourish. We’re not short on creativity or talented people; they’re everywhere, abundant and incredible. What we truly lack are opportunities for these talented individuals to be seen, supported, and uplifted.
At its core, The Guru Experience is dedicated to elevating artists, healers, creators, and visionaries by providing spaces and opportunities that genuinely support their growth. We believe deeply in the transformative power of allowing talent to fully shine and be celebrated, recognizing their immense value to society and our collective well-being. Read More>>

A couple of Seniors walked about 20 of us over to a nearby field to play football. Read More>>

I coach because I believe self-awareness, curiosity, and deep listening can change not just individual lives—but the way we relate to each other as a society. In a world that often talks at each other rather than with each other, I want to help shift the conversation. Coaching is my way of contributing to a culture where people feel safe enough to be curious, brave enough to ask questions, and open enough to truly listen—because that’s where meaningful connection and transformation begin.
