Propagate Your Practice

A Business Development Cohort:
Grown Your Business from Seedling to Thriving Practice

Mondays 6:00-8:30pm
August 5, 12, & 19

Propagation begins with a seed of intention — your passion and calling. Through this workshop series, you will learn to cultivate this seed into a robust entrepreneurial identity, learn best practices to form your business, and gain practical skills to support your day-to-day operations and resilience.

Just as a greenhouse provides the optimal environment for tender shoots to take root and thrive, this course offers a deliberate and nurturing space for aspiring healers and social creatives to establish and fortify their businesses.

Like carefully propagated plants, each business venture requires a supportive community and intentional care to flourish. Our learning community not only equips you with essential tools but also fosters a network of support — a fertile soil where ideas take root, thrive, and ultimately blossom into sustainable, thriving practices.

Join us in the greenhouse of entrepreneurial healing, where we cultivate not just businesses, but futures brimming with vitality and purpose.

Experiential & Collaborative

Each Greenhouse cohort is a dynamic, relational learning environment. Each workshop flows between instruction, live coaching, group feedback, and practical application. You’ll leave with the awareness, resources, and community needed to propagate a sustainable, thriving business.

We meet three times to create space to go deeper into the material and to allow time between sessions to metabolize and apply your learning to your business in real time.

Being a part of a cohort of healers and social creatives that are also in the process of forming and launching their businesses is invaluable. You’ll have the opportunity to make connections and receive feedback through the group workshop gathering and in between on our private Slack channel.

We know developing a business takes time and adaptivity is required, so you’ll have access to Nicole and your cohort via Slack for 4 months following the workshop container. We know this will be a generative space for community, support, resource-sharing, and mentorship during this vital, but sometime-vulnerable-and-hard, beginning season.

Nicole Greenwald

Psychotherapist, Clinical Supervisor, Consultant & Facilitator

Hi, I’m Nicole!

I feel most alive when I’m dreaming and listening to dreams. I am fierce about cultivating imagination and I’m skillful in moving ideas into reality.

I am a healer, gatherer, and creative. I identify as a mentor because I see my work as coming alongside — bearing witness to your passion, attuning to your unique design, and holding space for your vision to take root and thrive.

I am a psychotherapist and clinical supervision in practice practice, the founder of a grassroots co-op for healing practitioners, and a consultant to entrepreneurs and social change organizations.

I’ve worked in the non-profit and education space for over 20 years; owned and operated a restaurant and several other small businesses; and moved through the lifecycle of idea to fruition many times over. I’ve stewarded big wins, built sustainable systems, midwifed successful pivots, worked through challenging team and partnership dynamics, and navigated the grief of losses and business closures.

I believe community is our medicine. All of my work is relational and communal in nature. I can’t wait to cultivate and generate with you!
