Workshop | Rooted & Resourced: Practical Business Fundamentals for Solo Mindfulness Professionals with Sharon Shelton

Part of our Business of Being a Mindfulness Teacher Series

Rooted & Resourced: Practical Business Fundamentals for Solo Mindfulness Professionals, September 20 from 12 – 3 pm ET 

Sharon Shelton will share the 5 essentials that enabled her one-person mindfulness teaching and mentoring practice to thrive after 20 years working in corporate – the roadmap she wished she had when she started teaching! 

• Legal shelter—set up the simplest, asset-protecting structure.
• Risk & contracts—smart waiver, client agreement, and aligned insurance.
• Money flow—fair rates, quarterly taxes, lean bookkeeping.
• Micro + AI stack—five budget apps and prompts that handle admin.
• Ethical visibility—one-sentence positioning and a “not-this-year” boundary list.

Conversation, stories, a workbook, and a vetted resource directory—no slides or demos. Leave with a 90-day action plan and peer pod, ready to teach, not chase paperwork.

This session is from 12 – 3 pm ET;  the

More about Sharon Shelton

I’m a Founding Advisor and Mindfulness Meditation Teacher at Banyan, serving alongside Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield on the Teaching Council. I also sit on the boards of the Center for Mindful Self-Compassion and Peace at Any Pace.

Mentoring students in the Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program—and at Banyan—lights me up, as does offering Dharma talks and daylong retreats at the Triangle Insight Meditation Community in Durham, NC.

Over the years, I’ve guided and inspired hundreds of mindfulness practitioners, drawing on my experience as a Certified Mindfulness Teacher (CMT-P) and ICF-certified life coach. With warmth and insight, I help individuals and groups integrate mindfulness while cultivating a wholehearted embrace of compassion.
