Bringing the Dharma to Work and Money: Transforming Anxiety into Spaciousness and Wisdom (PS2D26)
Spencer Sherman, MBA
July 12, 2026
Please only register for one of the two formats: On-Land or Online.
Registration closes at 9:00am (Pacific Time) on July 12, 2026. A waiting list will be created if the program fills early. A recording* will be available following the program.
Description:
During this daylong, we’ll use powerful Buddhist practices to transform our beliefs and anxieties around money into spaciousness and wisdom.
Work and money challenges are common, yet we often bring the least amount of mindfulness to these arenas. For this reason, work and money can be doorways to significant spiritual and professional growth. Regardless of how much money you have or earn, the Dharma will help us gain clarity and see fresh possibilities.
Together, we’ll take advantage of an immersive, device-free environment to help cultivate the qualities of mind and heart that lead to well-being and success. Given how much of our lives we spend working, this retreat is designed to bring joy, purpose, and flow to the moments that shape so much of who we are. This is an invitation to shift from busyness as a default to enriching your most important asset: your presence.
All are welcome, especially those in the work world.
