Healing the Money Wound
The degree to which any one or more is most active in our life influences the way we are in the world of money. It's not "who" we are, but "where" we are, and if we feel it is not working for us or it keeps us from the spiritual and balanced money life we seek, then we need to call more on the Warrior.
In this interactive and lively session, participants will assess and identify their active and shadow archetypes around money which may be a factor in achieving the spiritual and balanced money life they would like.
Spiritual Warrior Bootcamp will teach you tools and techniques to keep your Warrior engaged, taking the Daily Right Action that is required to reach your desired results. You will also learn how to lessen the influence of your more challenging archetypes to achieve a more spiritual and balanced money life.
Deborah Price is the founder of the Money Coaching Institute which provides money coaching services to both individuals and businesses, and trains and certifies Money Coaches. She comes with 17 years experience in the Financial Services Industry, but her teachings are based on spirituality and helping you define and change your relationship with money. She is author of the book Money Magic.
