PWN MEETING:
Money, Mindfulness and Power

Money is the currency of modern life. Developing a healthy relationship with it and understanding how to align your economic behaviour with your values and personal mission can be overwhelming. For many of us, money is a source of anxiety and irritation, or conversely, sits in unacknowledged darkness - casting a shadow into every area of our personal and professional lives.  For women leaders, the challenge is even more profound, because money is energy and energy is power. Rarely are these concepts addressed in the context of leadership and success. If they are, it is typically from a masculine, combative or negative outlook.

Join us as we discuss these thorny (and exciting!) issues from a mindful, holistic perspective. Prepare for a deeper, broader, frank discourse. It is going to be a live one!
