Workshops

Spend a day doing the unthinkable—thinking and talking about money in your life. Discover what you feel about money, how you came to feel that way and why you handle money matters in the way you do. Through structured discussions and exercises, explore how money is woven into your thoughts and feelings about yourself and your relationship with others.

Offered in a small group setting, workshops are surprisingly intimate, and are typically for women only. Participants have a variety of financial circumstances.
