Faith CoLab: Tapestry of Faith: The Wi$dom Path: An Adult Program on Money, Spirit, and Life

Leader Resource 1: Guided Reflection and Meditation

Part of The Wi$dom Path

Ask these questions slowly, allowing time for reflection after each set of questions:

Consider your money story and the wisdom you have mined from recalling and telling.

  • How have past lessons and experiences proved unhelpful or harmful?
  • What does it mean to have enough? What experiences have you had with having—or not having—enough?

Consider your relationship with money today.

  • Where is money working in your life?
  • How does money make possible things you deeply value?
  • Where are the places where you think you have some spiritual work to do?

Imagine a healthy relationship between money, spiritual values, and the way you live your life.

  • How is money connected to your Unitarian Universalist faith, principles, and values?
  • What would a spiritually and ethically healthy relationship with money look like and feel like for you? What changes would you make in the way you earn, spend, give, or invest your money?
  • If you aspire to a better relationship with money, how will you begin?

Conclude the time of reflection and meditation by inviting participants to slowly return to the group, opening their eyes when they are ready.
