Green and Graceful: G&G Q&A 3.

10 Quickfire Questions in 10 Minutes- Kay Gillard

1. Express your purpose.

I am a shamanic healer and teacher. My passion is to support other healers & spiritual seekers so they can walk their path with joy, confidence and power.

2. How would you sum up graceful business practice?

Serve with integrity. Remember to honour your needs as much as those that you serve. Always let your intuition lead. When you get stuck, reach out for support - serving your community is a two-way street!

3. Name your three favourite green and graceful businesses.

Lendrick Lodge in Scotland.

Mooncup.

Conscious chocolate.

4. Name three green and graceful practitioners whose work has inspired you.

Sandra Ingerman - Shamanic practitioner and author

Jim Graywolf Petruzzi - Sanctuaries of the Earth Mother

Corrina Gordon-Barnes - You Inspire Me

(top 3 of my current list, but I have quite a few!)

5. Name one environmentally friendly action which you are committed to and wish everyone else did too.

I wish people would open their eyes and hearts, and think about what they buy. The greatest political power we have is whether or not to give money to companies who disrespect people, terrorise animals and pollute our planet.

6. What would be your top tip for entrepreneurs starting out?

Make sure you really love what you do. All the other, practical stuff is important, but your life will be joyless if you don't utterly love and believe in your work.

7. What would be your top tip for people who feel stuck in their business practice?
Connect with the spirit of your business to find out what it wants you to be doing - it can get you past the 'head' stuff and move you in the direction that is in resonance with the very soul of your business.

8. What is the number one thing you wish all businesses/entrepreneurs would do to make the world a better place?
Believe in community, not competition. The more people working in the way we work, the better - it means we can change the world quicker!

9. In your experience, what is the most helpful and positive way to view money?
I'm still doing a lot of healing around this! My life is better when I view money with pure gratitude, as it is an expression of the earth supporting me on my path.

10. We've just time-travelled into the future - what does business look like in your ideal world?

The sheer insanity and short sightedness of ripping resources from the world and causing harm to get ahead in the short term is gone. We are only producing what we need. Business operates in harmony with the earth, and its communities.
