Wanderlust Stratton 2018

The subject of money and finance tends to produce strong emotions in people. These feelings span the spectrum – from jealousy, anger, and despair; to hope and euphoria. Relating to money in a mindful context can calm the unhelpful habitual reactions that often take over when we deal, or don't deal, with our financial situations.

When we engage with financial matters without judgment toward ourselves, we can minimize our suffering. When we're observant of our emotions, rather than driven by them, we can create space and equilibrium. These mindful approaches turn emotions into learning experiences which provide important information for making good financial decisions.

In this session, Sol Halpern, founder of Highlander: A Mindful Finance Company and meditation instructor, will introduce you to Mindful Finance tools that use personal insight and humor to bring positive changes to your relationship with money. We will explore ways to use your relationship with money to achieve greater self-awareness and lead a more empowered life.
