Linda's passion for this profession is her motivation to commit and volunteer her time to be on the HMN Board. She is inspired through her own experiences to create the opportunities to come together, so we may be a strong community of Holistic Professionals to ourselves and our clients.
Our Mission is: “To create a unified community of compassionate holistic practitioners that will contribute to enhancing our profession and ourselves by providing a supportive space to share, learn, teach, grow and lead.”
My Vision is: “To strengthen and support the community of the holistic profession.”
We provide opportunities to come together as a diverse group of Professionals that have been in this field for awhile, or who are just starting out. We inspire growth, and mentoring, through the support of your colleagues sharing their experiences at local Mentorship Network Meetings.. The meetings offer an opportunity to build relationships, as you get to know other Practitioners and their Services. This helps to build a reputable referral base and contributes to building your Practice. We often don’t get a chance to build relationships with our peers when we’re busy building our practice…this can isolate us from other professionals in our field.
We seek to raise political awareness through updates on legislative issues and changes, that often times we are unaware of because we are busy with “the hands on” building of our business.
As we continue to grow, it is our intention to bring educational opportunities through workshops, seminars, conferences, movies, expos and retreats that are being offered by your colleagues and the HMN.
It is the commitment of The Holistic Mentorship Network to “call forth your best and highest” by being a role model of “MARCI” (mindfulness, awareness, responsibility, compassion and intuition).
We are busy creating chat room access on our web site and a Directory listing to support advertising your business on our site.
We are contacting “like-minded” businesses to support all of you by offering a variety of member discounts.
All of the above are just a few of the advantages that come with being a member of the Holistic Mentorship Network.
We continue to raise our own awareness to your needs by listening to how we can support you and our industry. If there is anything else we can do to move our field of Holistic Practitioners forward, or to help you where you are right now, please contact us at infohmn@earthlink.net.
"A Natural State of Affairs"
It amazes me everytime I hear my husband say how wonderful it is to have a partner to share in lives splendor & the day to day responsibilities. Some things we sometimes take for granted and coming into a new year I am once again reminded of what a difference it makes when you can "lean on me".
Today, the first day of the year, I went outdoors to get some wood for the fireplace, while my husband stoked the fire. While outdoors I could hear in the distance the sounds of geese moving quickly toward me. As I looked up there were thousands of geese merging here and there keeping their formation. As they got louder and louder, I felt like they were trying to get, not just mine, but our attention about the state of affairs our country is in, & the importance of joining forces when there is a common goal or desire.
I believe nature gets our attention sometimes by making lots of noise, and I believe nature is trying to give us a message that we need to hear. How often do we separate ourselves from our families, friends, our communities or perhaps even our colleagues as we are trying to reach goals or just even survive in a world that houses thousands and thousands of people, and yet can feel so lonely & isolated.
Can you imagine what a difference this year might look like, if we joined together to cheer each other on, or be there for each other when the going got rough & tough.
It is my hope that you will join the Holistic Mentorship Network this year to make some noise as we work together to support each others growth; to raise community awareness & education to Alternative Services; reach out to a diverse world in friendship, & that we trust this process for the solutions that can help
communities, our world, & our universe heal.
Let's make a differenc together for the world we live in today,
and the world we leave tomorrow for our children.
Much Peace, Joy & love in 2008,
Linda Dominguez
