The Money Pilgrimage
A journey to heal your relationship with Money!
Money, a topic as intricate as it is essential, often reflects our deepest personal values and fears. For many of us, it symbolizes freedom, power, and opportunity, while for others, it carries connotations of greed, corruption, and hardship. Then there are those who find themselves somewhere in between, grappling with a sense of ambivalence. Yet, despite its undeniable significance, discussing money openly remains a challenge for most.
The Money Pilgrimage is a journey crafted to help participants explore and understand their individual relationships with money. This one-day experience, running from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM, offers a structured opportunity to delve into our beliefs, habits, assumptions and possible traumas around money. Through carefully designed activities and the engaging Money Game, participants embark on a journey of introspection and discovery. Here is how our schedule looks like for a batch of 12 participants:

At the heart of this pilgrimage lies the Money Game, a gamified experienced designed by the Findhorn community in Scotland and brought to the world in virtual format by Greaterthan. The Money Game happens in multiple rounds in a group setting of 4-10 participants. There are many moments of silence, journaling and reflective dialogue wherein you are invited to dive within and make a sense of your own experiences. In the process of this game, you may witness difficult emotions that have the potential to become a fertile ground for personal and collective growth.
You are required to join this experience with a meaningful amount of money in cash that you are comfortable letting go of, but that is enough to 'trigger' your learning within. The role of the facilitator is to hold the space with care and safety, and allow different emotions to surface within you as per your own habits and beliefs around money. It is ultimately your own responsibility to deal with their experiences.
It is highly recommended that you participate in this pilgrimage out of your own willingness. Please do not join it simply because your friends are joining it. Also, you will not be able to join or leave the pilgrimage in the middle.

What this Pilgrimage is not about!
This pilgrimage is neither about learning 'how to be rich, fast', nor about financial literacy or investments. This is more about your personal relationship with money (beliefs, habits, assumptions or traumas); no matter whether you are super-rich or struggling, this journey is equally relevant to you.
