Vicki Robin – Your Money or Your Life
Â
Do you find yourself rushing from one thing to another, over-booked, over-busy and over-buying just because you have no time to focus on what really matters in your life?
Yes? This course offers you a transformational roadmap for bringing your lifestyle into alignment with your deepest Self, creating a feeling of personal ease, as well as a better relationship with the planet.
The truth is that we all want to be happy, satisfied with our lives, fully alive and contributing. But does the stuff of our daily life — our things, our consumption, our relationships, our commitments — give us the happiness we want? When the answer is no (and it is all too often) we keep trying to adjust our stuff — get more of it, get rid of it, get over it, get ahead — in order to become happy.
In a culture of information overload, hyper-consumerism and uber-connected lifestyles, most of us feel a certain amount of stress in regards to our material possessions, our bodies, our livelihoods and even our relationships. Much of our creative genius — our real potential — is oftentimes squandered, sidelined or blocked. And it doesn’t have to be that way.
In this course, Vicki Robin, co-author of the international bestseller Your Money or Your Life and expert on sustainable living, offers you a 7-week roadmap that will teach you how to transform your relationship to money, stuff and just about everything else. Vicki is a provocative and compassionate truth-teller and way-shower, helping people see their patterns clearly and, thus, freeing themselves from stress and the things that don’t serve them.
Through short lectures, reflective exercises, coaching, lots of interaction and weekly experiments you’ll gain a new way to relate to your money, time and stuff as well as understand how much is enough of anything, what really makes you happy and how to expand your options for having what you TRULY want. You may find out that what you truly want is more — or less — or different from — what you now believe you want. You’ll never know without looking.
You will also have fun discovering multiple strategies for having what you truly want, and feel confident about your capacity to keep having what you want well into the future.
Benefits of taking this course include:
Identify your core beliefs, feelings, and ideas about money and begin to shift them into greater alignment with your real purpose Release fears of limitation and lack that are barriers to feeling safe and abundant, regardless of the size of your bank account, the number of your possessions or your position in life Complete an inventory of “the stuff†in your life and let go of the things and commitments that are not serving you, freeing your creative energy for more satisfying activities Receive clear, easy and creative strategies for having everything you truly want Experience deeper satisfaction and joy with the things you already have Clarify your relationship commitments and understandings to reduce stress and increase joy Create more free time for pleasure, enjoyment and fulfilling your passions

From the Desk of Vicki Robin
Dear friends,
I want to help you create an amazing change in your life, so that you feel happy, whole, and fulfilled. It’s a revolution in how you relate to the world of stuff.
This change is possible even on a modest income by bringing the “things†of your life into alignment with your essence and your truest values. When you do, you lose a lot of the frenzy and stress that is typical of Western culture.
Your life will be simpler, clearer, more creative, and filled with a deeper kind of satisfaction then when you are seeking, acquiring, fixing, and managing things that don’t bring you real joy.
To make this shift requires a journey that illuminates your core beliefs, digs into ingrained behaviors, experiments with new life strategies — all leading to a new psychology for yourself that is based on true prosperity and satisfaction.
When my book Your Money or Your Life (co-authored with the late Joe Dominguez) became a runaway international bestseller and even the most requested book from public libraries that year, I knew that we had put our finger on the pulse of a profound set of issues that have been sabotaging our happiness — and creating lifestyles of waste that are eroding our planet.
The great news is that since becoming the go-to woman on the subject two decades ago, I’ve learned a lot about exactly how to help people make profound shifts in their lives around the world of stuff. Over the years, my teaching has gone beyond money and consumer goods and extended to include time, food, relationships and other commitments that we tend to relate to as “things.†In this course, we will deal with the “whole enchilada†— the deepest patterns we have in relating to the world of stuff.
The same insights and practices can free you from unhelpful patterns in each realm. And the results are truly remarkable, freeing you to be more natural, relaxed, aligned, and creatively engaged with your purpose, with more satisfying relationships and more purposeful use of your time.
I’m really looking forward to helping you transform your entire relationship to the things of your life and liberate more of YOU for the world. The world certainly needs a liberated YOU.
Warm regards,
What You’ll Discover in These 7 Weeks

Know what you really need to be happy based on your lifestyle and values
Understand how you create unneeded stuff in your life — and shift that pattern!
Let go of the things that don’t serve you
Module 3: What Is Happiness and How Can You Have It?
The third class reviews the research on the inner and outer landscape of happiness, giving you a clear roadmap for aiming your life in that direction. Without this, life dries us. With clarity, everything we do or have is appetizing and easy. Benefits:
Discover a simple — but not easy — formula for happiness
Learn the whys (and wisdom) of happiness
Uncover allof your wants and then discover what you truly want
Module 4: Why Are You Here?

Know what serves your highest purpose — and how to have that!
Get what you want by knowing what to discard
Module 5: Are We Having Fun Yet?
In our fifth class we’ll go where spiritual teachings often don’t: pleasure. Enjoying ourselves provides juice for life, for change and, yes, even for service. Have you had enough of killing yourself for a cause? I know I have! Yet our work can be even more powerful when we take pleasure in it. Benefits:
Learn to savor the pleasure of life as it is
Take a break from desiring things to enjoying what you already have
Identify what truly brings you pleasure, recognizing that anything short of pure joy isn’t worth having
Module 6: Multiplying Your Options
By class six we are ready to play with our goals, purposes and dreams and find many resource-full ways to have everything we truly want. Possibility-storming, mind-mapping, “yes-and†games, idea-bouncing, body and journal and post-it practices, sharing-tools and many actions your mother told you not to do will be the subject — and process — of the class. Benefits:
Learn techniques, strategies, approaches, tricks & tips for multiplying your options
Tap into our collective genius
Module 7: Living a Life of True Abundance
A life that is abundant in everything that matters most takes courage, commitment and support. In this class we’ll complete our journey together with lifelong tools for having a healthy and THRIVING relationship with money, time, stuff and everything else in your life. Benefits:
