Opening Up Our Money Stories

Many of us have been taught to hold fear, shame, or silence around money.

In this online evening workshop, Brenda Salgado will lead exercises to think more broadly about wealth, explore indigenous perspectives on reciprocity and wealth, and invite abundance as a state of being into our lives, allowing for healing and transformation of our evolving money story.

Participants will explore their own money stories—how they shape our relationships to self and others, how they can isolate us, how they can perpetuate systems of inequality, and how painful stories can be healed and transformed, opening up new possibilities for the future. From this place, we call in resources for our well-being, our communities, and our sacred work in the world.
