How to build distinct, relevant brands in a crowded world
In an increasingly saturated marketplace, brands fail because they lack clarity.

How capital can restore life - profitably
Real change demands a new kind of capital - one that regenerates rather than extracts.
In this talk, Nikki introduces the concept of regenerative investing and explores how money, when aligned with Earth’s true principles, can heal soil, nourish communities and fund the future of life on Earth.
Drawing on work in regenerative food systems and capital design, this session reframes what investment success can look like.

Designed for teams, founders and communities, this workshop creates space for reflection, dialogue and practical integration - reconnecting business with the Earth, our inner compass and our deeper missions.

Clarity on how to weave business back into the sacred

A new era of Sacred Business is calling
We are living through ecological, social and human crises that are calling us to become who we are meant to be.
A new era of business is emerging - one rooted in connection, coherence and regeneration.
This is not about abandoning success. It’s about redefining and realigning it.
When leadership aligns with intuition, when capital serves life rather than extracts, when businesses remember their place within the ecosystems they depend on - we unlock a true form of prosperity that sustains people, planet and profit.
This is my mission, and this is the work I speak about. Bringing business back into the sacred. This is the work the world is asking for now.
