We will begin with the business you are already tending. Together, we will explore what could become easier, give the tool the context it needs, and learn how to check its work so you can make an informed decision about what to use.

Live and virtual, Wednesdays, October 14 through November 18, 2026.
Noon to 1 p.m. or 7 to 8 p.m. Eastern.

$497 paid in full, or two payments of $250 ($500 total). The first payment is due when you enroll, and the second is due 30 days later.

Sora Schilling, founder of Devoted Way

With curiosity.

There are parts of your business that could use more support.

You may be a coach, consultant, facilitator, or independent practitioner. There are notes to organize, ideas to develop, products to be launched, and decisions that deserve your sacred attention.

In my own business, I have been learning how to connect the work across my tools so that I can leave an instruction, have the information gathered, and come back to something I can review. That has meant learning how to explain what matters to me, recognize what is missing, and keep improving the way the system works.

This is the kind of curiosity I am bringing to our six weeks together. We get to look at AI through our values, our ethics, and the impact of the work we do. We also get to practice with the ordinary tasks that could use a little less heavy lifting.

A few ways AI supports the work inside Devoted Way.

My systems have grown around the way I work, from leaving an instruction on my phone to opening a morning brief with my tasks and a tarot card. Here are four examples of what I have been creating and using in my own business.

An example from my own business

I connected my inbox to a place where I could leave instructions from my phone.

I call the assistant Hana. I had already been using AI with my inbox, but I did not always need another conversation at my computer. Sometimes I needed to leave a list of what required attention and return to the rest of my day.

Connecting it to Slack gave me a place to do that. I could leave instructions from my phone, and the routine could pick them up, find the relevant information, prepare the work, and send me an update in Slack.

When something could not be completed, it brought the problem back to me. I could respond with the missing information or make the decision it needed. With email, I reviewed the draft and sent it myself.

I presented this project at the end of my Applied AI course. I also shared what could go wrong, including ambiguous dates, tasks returning when I had not marked them complete, and the routine stopping when my computer slept. Those details helped me understand what needed checking.

How the pieces work together

  1. I leave the task in Slack.The instructions can come from my phone while I am away from my computer.
  2. Hana prepares the work.The routine reads the instructions and works within the permissions I have given it.
  3. I receive an update.I can see what was handled and what still needs information or a decision.
  4. I review and close the task.I check the work, send my own correspondence, and mark what is complete.

This describes my project at the time of the course. The connections you build will depend on your tools, permissions, and the task you choose.

From my own business

My morning brief holds my next steps, the weather, and a tarot card.

When I have been moving between several projects, there can be a lot to remember at the end of the day. I have a way of closing out those work sessions with AI, looking at what worked, what did not, and what still needs my attention.

The next steps go into my task system. When I open my morning brief the following day, I can see what needs to be picked up again, along with the weather and my tarot card.

I love that it can be useful and still feel like mine. The review helps me return to the work with more context, and I get to decide what deserves my attention that day.

A little morning magic.

How the pieces work together

  1. I review the work before finishing.We look at what was completed, what needs another pass, and what I learned along the way.
  2. The next steps have a place to go.Outstanding work is captured in my task system.
  3. My morning brief brings it back to me.I can see the work to return to, with the weather and a tarot card alongside it.
  4. I choose how to begin.The information supports my decisions about the day ahead.
From my own business

My podcast has a process that holds the work around the conversation.

There is so much that happens around a podcast episode. Someone expresses interest, there is information to gather and a conversation to prepare for, and after we record there is still the work of creating and publishing the episode.

I have been building my podcast system to support that whole process, from initial interest and intake through preparation, recording, production, and publication. AI helps me organize the information and prepare the materials that belong at the different stages.

The conversation is still between people. I choose what I am curious about, hold the interview, and review what we create from it. Having a process around those moments helps me keep track of the work that carries an episode into the world.

Around the conversation.

How the pieces work together

  1. Interest and intake begin the process.The guest information has a place in the preparation for an episode.
  2. I prepare for and hold the conversation.AI can help organize the material while I bring my questions and presence.
  3. The recording becomes material to work from.Production support helps prepare the episode and its supporting copy.
  4. I review what is ready to share.The process continues through publication, with my decisions and review involved.
From my own business

A resource my client fills in can become the beginning of a richer conversation.

I have been creating resources that clients can fill out in a way that feels playful and intentional. They work through the resource and download their responses, giving me something I can review easily.

From there, I bring my strategic mind to what they have shared. I can look at the ideas together, develop my feedback, and use AI to help prepare a visual aid that makes the feedback easier to see and work with.

This has been incredibly helpful in my work. The resource gives us a way to gather their thinking, and the visual gives us another way to explore it together. My understanding of the client and the guidance I offer remain part of the relationship between us.

Room to see it differently.

How the pieces work together

  1. I create the resource.The questions and experience are shaped around the work we are doing together.
  2. My client completes and downloads it.Their responses give me material to review before offering feedback.
  3. I bring my strategic perspective.I consider what they have shared and develop the guidance I will offer.
  4. We make the feedback visual.AI helps me prepare a visual aid, which I review alongside my feedback.

How This Training Can Support Your Business.

Your business might involve teaching, writing, consulting, or running a firm with a team. These examples offer different places to begin. We will choose a project that makes sense for your work and gives you something useful to practice during our six weeks together.

Build a workshop from your own teaching

As a coach, you could gather your original exercises and notes into a workshop outline. Ask AI to connect each suggested activity to its source, then shape the experience around what you know about the people you teach.

Develop copy from a clear creative brief

As a copywriter, you could work from an approved brief, writing samples, and verified offer details to explore different angles. Compare the drafts with the brief and make the choices that give the writing its character.

Turn a demonstration into a training resource

If you train virtual assistants, you could use a recording of your own demonstration to draft step by step instructions. Have someone try them, note where they get stuck, and revise the resource before using it in your program.

Prepare a consulting proposal from your discovery notes

Use discovery notes you have permission to work with, your service details, and your pricing to prepare a consulting proposal. Ask AI to organize the goals, scope, deliverables, and proposed timeline, and flag anything still to be agreed. You review the commitments and fee before sharing it.

Explore what your income goal would ask of your business

Use your own offer prices and an income goal to compare possible combinations of sales. Have AI show its assumptions and calculations, then check the numbers against your capacity, expenses, and experience. You decide which plan is realistic for your business.

Compare supplier options for your shop

For a shop or product business, you could organize supplier quotes by unit cost, order minimum, lead time, and delivery fees. Ask the tool to show the source of every figure and flag missing costs before you decide what to order.

Prepare an event run sheet

For an event business, you could bring confirmed vendor arrangements and timings into a draft schedule. Ask AI to identify overlaps and missing setup time, then review the plan with the people responsible for delivering it.

See recurring questions in customer feedback

For a service business, you could work with feedback you have permission to use and have removed identifying details from. Group recurring questions and requests, check the groupings against the original comments, and decide what could improve the experience.

Find more uses for a podcast conversation

For a podcast or content business, you could turn a transcript you have permission to share into episode notes and ideas for future articles. Check that each idea reflects the conversation, then add your own point of view before publishing.

These are possible projects. We will develop one appropriate project each, rather than build all nine. Some connections require additional tool access.

Here is what we will practice over our six weeks together.

Each Wednesday, we will make room for the learning and for questions that come up as you try it yourself. Between classes, you will have a chance to return to your project and see what changes when you apply what we have explored.

Week 1 · October 14

Begin with your everyday work

We will look at what AI can do, where it can be mistaken, and which task in your business would be a useful place to begin. Your values and the impact of your work belong in that conversation from the start.

Week 2 · October 21

Help the tool understand the assignment

You will practice giving AI the background, examples, and boundaries it needs. We will look at how your instructions change the answer and how to recognize when more context would help.

Week 3 · October 28

Bring your critical thinking to the answer

We will compare the output with your source material, check the facts, and notice what is missing. You get to question a polished answer and decide whether it is useful for the work you are doing.

Week 4 · November 04

Decide what stays in your hands

We will consider the information you share, the permissions you give, and the decisions that need your attention. You will begin writing those boundaries into your own instructions.

Week 5 · November 11

Connect the steps and try them out

We will work on a process you can repeat, whether that begins with one document or connects several steps. You will test what happens when information is missing and decide how the tool should bring a problem back to you.

Week 6 · November 18

Share your project and what you learned

You will bring an example you have tested, the instructions behind it, and a short explanation of how to use it again. We will look at what worked, what still needs attention, and what you could continue developing after our six weeks.

What it feels like to learn with Sora

She meets the room, and helps you meet your own work.

“I have seen Sora speak in just about every kind of room there is, from one of the largest spiritual entrepreneur conferences in Australia to sacred circles and intimate business spaces. What stands out every single time is the same thing. She is powerful without ever being overpowering. She doesn't perform at a room, she meets it. People always leave her sessions a little more honest with themselves. That's a rare thing on a stage.”

A few practical details.

How much time should I set aside?

We meet for 60 minutes each Wednesday. Set aside some time between classes to try what you are learning with your own project and bring your questions back to the group.

Do I need to know how to code?

We will begin with understanding the tool and explaining the work you are asking it to do. You can choose a project that starts with notes or a document. I will share the tool setup you need before enrollment opens.

Can I pay in installments?

$497 paid in full, or two payments of $250 ($500 total). The first payment is due when you enroll, and the second is due 30 days later.

Will I receive a certificate?

Yes. Everyday AI, Intentionally is a certification training. After you complete the required work, you will receive a certificate of completion. I will share the final completion requirements before enrollment opens.

Will there be recordings or additional support?

I am finalizing recording access and support between classes. You will be able to review those details before enrolling.

Will I need an AI subscription?

I will identify any required subscription and its cost before you enroll. We can practice with fictional or public information, so you do not need to share private client records with the class.

What if I do not know much about AI or have not used it?

You can begin here. We will start with what these tools do, how to give them useful instructions, and how to check what comes back. There will be room to ask questions and talk about the parts that make you hesitant.

Being mindful about AI includes understanding its limits, considering privacy, and deciding when it is appropriate to use. You can start with a small task and learn through trying it, with your values and judgment involved from the beginning.

What if I have already been using AI?

This can be a useful time to pause and look at what you have already built. We will consider privacy settings and permissions, review the way your tools and systems work together, and look for places to improve what you have.

You can also explore what more could be possible while noticing where you may be relying on the tool more than you intended. The decisions, relationships, and parts of the work that need to come from you deserve your attention as your use of AI grows.
