Peter Matthies, a visionary in the field of conscious business and founder of The Conscious Business Institute, led an insightful session at the Living in Oneness Summit 2017 titled The Evolution of Conscious Business. In this session, Matthies explored the transformative shift occurring within the business world, where traditional, profit-driven models are giving way to more holistic, purpose-driven approaches that integrate social, environmental, and spiritual values.
Matthies discussed how the evolving landscape of business is aligning with the principles of oneness, recognizing that businesses can no longer operate in isolation or at the expense of people or the planet. He emphasized that conscious businesses are those that embrace a higher sense of purpose—beyond mere profit—and strive to create positive impacts on the world. These businesses, he explained, are motivated by values such as integrity, sustainability, and collaboration, rather than competition and exploitation.
In this session, Matthies also highlighted how the evolution of conscious business is a natural extension of humanity’s collective awakening. As more leaders embrace conscious business practices, they are not only transforming their organizations but also contributing to the global shift towards a more equitable, compassionate, and sustainable world. Matthies shared practical tools and strategies for creating and nurturing conscious businesses, focusing on leadership, culture, and innovation that prioritize long-term well-being over short-term gains.
The panel delved into how this new approach to business requires a fundamental shift in consciousness—both at the individual and collective levels—toward understanding that the success of a business is intrinsically linked to the well-being of all stakeholders, including employees, communities, and the environment.
Matthies’ message was one of hope and inspiration, showing that conscious business is not only possible but is becoming an essential aspect of the future of global commerce. His session empowered participants to explore how they can contribute to the evolution of business in a way that honors the interconnectedness of all life, creating organizations that are aligned with the greater good and the values of oneness.
