Week 7: Our Personal Relationship to Money

How do we relate to this energy that moves so much in the world?

Have you ever asked yourself why you think & feel about money the way you do? Many of our speakers already referred to the magical power of money as a mirror or projection surface. It is a social construct with so much potential to shape how we act & are in the world.

Week 7 will be all about diving deeper into our histories & exploring possible new relationships with this energy that moves so much in the world. Don’t miss our community call on Thursday to supercharge your work with money.

🙆‍♂️Lena's Bio

“Money is deeply embedded in our lives, yet we rarely reflect on how we relate to it and what has shaped those relationships. I believe that understanding our 'inner programs' related to money better is crucial for aligning our actions with our values and driving systems change, especially in finance. Over the past years, I've explored this kind of money work and collective practices like alternative salary systems deeply through my work with Greaterthan, and I invite you to join me in a 1-hour experiential workshop.

Please reach out to me if you have any questions or ideas or wish to collaborate: [e-mail]”
