The ART of Money

Ever wonder why so many of us rarely share our truths about money?

How much do you have? How much do you bring in? Where do you get yours from?

Even those few questions right there might be bringing something up in you

Welcome to the ART of Money: Mini-Course

Based on our values and experience, money may make us feel secure as we provide for ourselves and others we care for. Our joy may come from the sacrifices we make with money. Money may also make us feel insecure if we do not have the things we want. We can view it negatively, as it may encourage envy and corruption.

In this course we will explore our truths about money. Not as a top down lecture, but through the experience of relationship. Through connecting with each other, we’ll have the chance to find our own deeply true positions about money, and be given the opportunity to consciously redesign our relationship to money to help us better serve ourselves and the world.

In this 3 session mini-course, we’ll look at different ways to consciously explore and transform our relationship with money: Having it, not having it, what it means for us, what it does for us….

We’ll explore:

  • How to bring any shame, or shadow about money into awareness, welcoming it into our experience for better integration.
  • Where our relationship with money originated, past present, and future orientations
  • How to have a conversation with our partner about money.
  • Emotions and embodiment with our relationship with money – posture and collapse)
  • How to design a relationship with money that better supports your life.

We’ll take a look at ways to redefine our relationship with money: consciously designing our relationship to better serve us and others in the world.

Come join us on this relational journey
