Each online monthly meeting will be held online the first Tuesday of the month from 8 AM to 9:30 AM Pacific Time. Marilyn will speak for about 45 minutes on a topic and then the next 45 minutes will be Q&A as well as open discussion.

PLUS 3 BONUS MEETINGS! We have designed this 12-month program for new Ayurvedic Professionals and established Professionals that would like to expand their businesses. Through development discussions we have come to the conclusion that new professionals would appreciate a little more ground work. To make sure we are serving everyone we have decided to add 3 bonus meetings to the beginning of the course! These will be offered at no additional charge and will be open to all members. The topics covered during the bonus offering will be expanded upon further during the program. This will also be a chance to review the schedule of topics as a group and determine if anything should be added before we get going. 

Everyone’s voice is important!

All participants will walk away from each meeting with actionable steps needed to build their Ayurvedic Business or Practice. Participants will also have 24/7 access to the CAAM Member Online Community where they can work through each step of the program, ask each other questions, workshop ideas, and get guidance from mentors. 

If you miss a class or start late, don’t worry! The recording links will be shared with participants after so that you can go back and review.
