Before the workshop you are invited to write a money autobiography, enabling you to go further during the workshop. Our beliefs about money and faith are deeply ingrained in our unconscious mind, so it is important to begin thinking about them gently at home. This time examining your beliefs provides opportunity to talk about many issues that don't surface in ordinary conversation, as our culture considers these subjects "off limits." You are expected to deal with your questions about money in private with a friend or a trusted financial advisor or questions about faith in private with a friend or a trusted spiritual advisor. We will explore these topics together in a forum, which sets up guidelines for confidentiality, honesty, caring, listening, and honoring the truth of each other's experiences. Join us for a liberating time of examining two of the most important issues affecting our daily lives, money, and spirituality.
