"Weï'll see," Kris said.


"The foolish person wants more money and more of the things money can buy," Dominguez says.  "The wise person wants enough money, and more of the things money can't buy: health, happiness, love, and peace of mind."  Now the personal money management course that brings this wisdom to consciousness is open to every listener, with Transforming Your Relationship With Money.  Nine simple steps transform how you earn and spend and think about money.  Recorded live at the popular Joe Dominguez seminars (no longer available) that launched the book Your Money Or Your Life and the frugality, savings and simplicity movement in North America.


In addition to sharing stories of both her personal life and her years of training in an inter-tribal tradition of shamanic medicine, Oriah draws upon her years as a facilitator of spiritual retreats, as a social worker assisting women and families in crisis and as a student of philosophy in seeking to understand how we can be all that we truly are.
