Money as Path

With Joanne Martin-Braun

Few areas of life are so difficult to relate to with intelligence and heart as money. The intense confusion in our society around money is often reflected in our own lives as anxiety and lack of vision with our finances. The Shambhala Buddhist teachings offer a powerful context for examining this confusion, and a path for relating in an uplifted way with this very practical part of our lives. We can bring gentleness and precision to our understanding of money, and discover sanity at the center of confusion.

The programs uses exercises, meditation, and contemplations to foster insight into our person relationships to money.  We will explore together how the wisdom of these teachings helps us bring clarity, vision, strength, and humor to working with our resources.
