Dialogue: Financial Healing

In this conversation, Jessie Susannah Karnatz, author of Money Magic: Practical Wisdom and Empowering Rituals to Heal Your Finances and Mia Birdsong, author of How We Show Up: Reclaiming Family Friendship, and Community discuss financial healing at the crossroads of politics and spirituality. Rather than focusing on individualistic achievement and security, they share how healing our relationship with money can be approached as a community-based ancestral practice with far-reaching impacts on our families, communities and wider worlds. Combining practical advice with deep insight, this program offers inspiration, motivation and tools to begin shifting your habits and patterns around money towards greater abundance and liberation for yourselves and others around you.
