Making Sense of Money:
Aligning Money and Values
Robert Kenny    

Money has been referred to as "the last taboo"—a topic not generally broached in polite company, often considered more uncomfortable to talk about than sex. Yet our relationship to money affects nearly every aspect of our lives. This workshop is for parents, grandparents, professionals and advisors. It is for people who are wondering about their life choices, who are worried about out-of-control spending or who find that work consumes them, or perhaps know that guilt drives them to give too much to their children. In short, this program is for those who understand that money is having a big impact in their lives. We will re-evaluate personal myths and attitudes about money and the fundamental relationship between values and money. Through in-depth conversation, personal reflection and exercises, we will examine the money dilemmas we face in relationships at home and at work. We will share our experiences and solutions and address ethical questions fundamental to an increasingly affluent society, such as: "What is money for?" "Can we transform our relationship to money into a creative force?” “How can we better align our money with our values and our goals?” You will leave with new insights and tools, resources, and inspiration for continued change in your relationship to money.
