Just landed in Colombia (reflections from Peru + what's next)


Words I'm sitting with:

Sound is the basis of existence.
Words are frequency made form.
Our language literally builds our world.

Alright Reader

I'm sitting in my office in Colombia, overlooking the Andean mountains and reflecting on the past few days in Peru.

The energy there was electric—a room full of passionate entrepreneurs and change-makers gathered to explore the integration of spiritual wisdom with worldly impact.

All the proceeds of the event were donated to Peruvian Hearts, a non-profit supporting the empowerment and education of young women without resources.

The conversations continued long after the formal sessions ended, with many of the speakers being actively involved in philanthropy work or devoted to supporting movements that transform humans at the level of BEING.

One particularly touching moment came after my talk, when three young girls approached me with handwritten thank you letters.

It was a small but powerful reminder that our message often reaches beyond our intended audience in ways we can't predict.

As I settle back into the rhythms of Colombia and prepare for our upcoming Ayahuasca retreat (just 1 week away now), I'm reflecting on what separates those who build businesses from those who create movements:

The ability to tell stories that transmit transformation.

I watched this play out in real time in Peru.

The speakers who created the deepest impact weren't necessarily those with the most impressive credentials or the most polished presentations.

They were the ones who shared stories that carried their essence—stories that bridged spiritual wisdom with practical application in a way that felt both authentic and effective.

This is something I see consistently with the coaches, educators, and personal brands I work with:

Many have valuable wisdom to share but struggle to translate it into content that captures their full voice.

They find themselves caught between being "too woo" for business audiences or "too practical" for spiritual ones.

Either talking about spiritual and abstract concepts so much that people don't really understand what they do..

Or focusing on 'copywriting' and marketing so much they end up feeling fake, salesy and inauthentic..

They hold back their truth out of fear of judgment or being "too much."

And in doing so, they limit not just their impact, but their ability to attract the clients and opportunities that align with their deepest purpose.

That's why I've decided to host a special workshop:

WORDSMITH: Elite Storytelling for Movement Leaders

In this 90-minute experience, I'll share:

• The foundations of heart-centered, impact-focused writing

• The 3 mistakes most people do when it comes to storytelling (these are the reason your content may be falling flat)

• The Content Alchemy Process for creating binge-worthy, soul-elevating written stories (or scripts)

Among a few super juicy bonuses and high-leverage, easy to implement, tips and tools for those wanting to stop feeling like "hamster-wheel" content creators and own their role as thought leaders.

So if you're a coach, business owner, or personal brand who wants to create content that captures your essence, connects at a soul level, and naturally converts followers into fans (and loyal clients), this workshop was created for you.

Here are 13+ years of (almost) daily writing condensed in just 90minutes:

JOIN THE WORKSHOP

PS: My time in Peru reinforced something I've known but sometimes forget:

Our stories are the bridge between our inner wisdom and our outer impact.

When we learn to tell them with both soul and strategy, our message reaches places we never imagined it could.

Whether or not you join us for the workshop, I encourage you to consider:

  • What wisdom are you holding back that could create a movement if fully expressed?
  • What might become possible if your content truly captured your essence?
  • How would it feel to move from feeling confused or even frustrated about your social media presence, to feeling inspired, on fire and proud of having a larger impact while being in integrity?

With you on the path,

Nicolas Canon
