Money Freedom online group with Arlyn Alderdice

This group is full. Please stay posted for when the course is ready!

Money Freedom with Arlyn Alderdice
This is an online offering via Zoom. Open to the first 15 registrants. There is no charge for the group, but there is a feedback request.
4 Thursdays @ 1pm pacific/ 2pm mtn/ 3pm central/ 4pm est
starting Thursday October 24th through Thursday Nov. 14th

Arlyn Alderdice is a Wayfinder Life Coach & SomaSource leader, this group is not financial or entrepreneurial advice. This course is designed to help free up emotional energy and bring awareness to our financial patterns + bring us in touch with something larger than our small egoic self in relationship to money. This allows us to make conscious choices about how to direct the flow of our money and live a life that is more aligned with our own values. Once we have more freedom in our lives, on all the levels, we can make better choices for ourselves and ultimately our planet.
