Description:

Work and money are challenging arenas that offer fertile territory for applying the wisdom of the Dharma. Using Buddhist practices, neuroscience, and emotional intelligence, we will cultivate favorable mindsets for transforming our relationship with work and money. Through guided meditations and breakout rooms, and the safety of a like-minded community, you’ll learn how to:

  1. Access your financial wisdom
  2. Cultivate the boundless Mindset of “Enough”
  3. Mitigate the comparing mind
  4. Cultivate a generous way of living
  5. Decrease anxiety/reactivity and increase equanimity

Regardless of your financial and work situation, it’s possible to shift from fear, confusion, and avoidance, to clarity, confidence, and engagement. Together, we will loosen and reframe our inherited beliefs, gain new perspectives, and experience the paradox of how “letting go offers a path to abundance,” as Joseph Goldstein says.

This program invites you to explore your authentic relationship to work and money, independent of conditioning, and to apply this authenticity to your real-life decisions within a spacious, non-judgmental container. Who would you be if you had a new relationship with work/money?

Online Only: We are offering this program online via Zoom for you to join us remotely.

Sliding Scale: Our sliding scale options for this program include financial support for our teachers. Please consider paying at the highest rate that you can afford: your generosity supports the teachers as well as Spirit Rock, staff, and your fellow practitioners.
