The Dharma of Money: Transforming Your Relationship to Money (PS1D27)
Spencer Sherman, MBA
January 10, 2027
Please only register for one of the two formats: On-Land or Online.
Registration closes at 9:00am (Pacific Time) on January 10, 2026. A waiting list will be created if the program fills early. A recording* will be available following the program.
Description:
We may meet the breath, the body, even our relationships with curious, non-judgmental attention—but when it comes to money, many of us check-out, feel shame, or continue anchoring to beliefs unknowingly. This program brings money into the light of awareness, weaving neuroscience, Buddhist psychology, the Four Noble Truths, and the four higher emotions to cultivate insight and prosperity.
Whatever your financial reality—struggling, stable, or thriving—you’ll find a spacious, judgment-free container to create a new future. The complexity of money presents surprising opportunities for transformation. You’ll learn how to uncover your wisdom, make decisions, mitigate the comparing mind, discover a way of relating to money that honors the current version of yourself, and cultivate a mindset conducive to financial wellness.
Together, we will decrease doubt, increase clarity, and create a life where money becomes your ally.
Who would you be if you had a new way of relating to money?
