Healing Love Healing Money: Free Intro Webinar

With Karen McAllister and Duncan Cryle

We are offering two different date/time options you can join:

Wed 16th Sept 2026 7-8 pm MDT (6-7 pm PST)

Or

Thu 17th Sept 2026 10-11 am MDT (9-10 am PST)

You can join a session both as a standalone webinar as part of our 2026 drop-in series Staying Whole: Meditation Tools For Fragmented Times, as well as a taster for our 4-day course Healing Love, Healing Money running October 1–4 in partnership with Tamera Peace Village.

You check your bank balance and feel your stomach tighten. You know your finances aren’t actually a crisis, but your nervous system doesn’t seem to have gotten the message. You find yourself avoiding the number, or obsessing over it—there doesn’t seem to be a middle ground.

If money brings up more fear than facts, this session is for you.

What We’ll Explore

This session explores a simple but rarely examined question: what if our struggles with money are not primarily financial…but relational?

Economic uncertainty doesn’t just live in our bank accounts—it lives in the body. We’ll explore how fear around belonging, intimacy, security, and survival shapes both our relationships and our economic behaviour—and how meeting that fear with steadiness, rather than control or avoidance, opens a doorway into deeper spiritual practice.

In this hour together, we’ll explore:

You’ll leave with tools for meeting financial uncertainty with more presence, and a taste of the deeper territory we’ll explore together in the full course this October.

This is session 5 of our 2026 online drop-in series – see here for future sessions Staying Whole: Meditation Tools For Fragmented Times series.

Going Deeper: The Full Course

This webinar is a taster for Healing Love, Healing Money: Trust as the Foundation for a New Culture—a four-day live online course (October 1–4) offered in partnership with Tamera Peace Village, a long-term intentional community in Portugal known for its decades-long exploration of trust, intimacy, and love.

Hosted by Karen McAllister and Duncan Cryle from Clear Sky, together with Monika Alleweldt and Benjamin von Mendelssohn from Tamera, the course goes deeper into the territory this session only begins to open: how fear around belonging, intimacy, security, and survival shapes both our relationships and our economic lives, and why healing trust at the community level may be essential for real change.

Watch: Karen and Duncan sat down with Monika and Benjamin for an unscripted conversation about why they created this course—watch it here (link to video once live).
