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 ExploreThis 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: Why money anxiety is rarely just about money—and what it’s often protectingHow scarcity and fear live in the nervous system\, not just the spreadsheetThe surprising parallels between our wounds around money and our wounds around loveSimple practices for meeting financial fear with presence rather than avoidanceHow healing trust—in ourselves and in community—may be essential for real changeYou’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.
