Programs

Workshops and Retreats

Women’s Perspective can design a program that meets your organization or group’s unique needs and time frame – half-day, full day or weekend. Our program format is interactive, informative, stimulating and inspirational.

Women, Money and Spirituality is the basic workshop of Women’s Perspective programs and is based on Rosemary Williams and Joanne Kabak’s book, A Woman’s Book of Money & Spiritual Vision: Putting Your Spiritual Values into Financial Practice. Exercises, discussion, storytelling, journaling, teaching sessions and writing a money autobiography are used to help each participant examine the role money plays in her life and spirit. At the workshop’s end, group members will be able to plan how to align their financial choices with their beliefs and values, to advance from vulnerability to possibility, and achieve a fuller version of womanhood and personhood.

In addition to Women, Money and Spirituality, we offer other workshops on:

• Financial Facts for Women
• A Money Journey: Life, Money, Values
• Money and Relationships
• Currency of the Spirit
• Money, Career and Self-esteem

Sophie’s Cafe: Money Wisdom for Women

New in 2009, Sophie’s Cafe provides a venue for women to gather monthly and talk about their money journeys, build supportive connections, and discover new ways of relating to money in their lives.  Using exercises, storytelling, discussion, art, worksheets, and home assignments, women discover new insights about their relationships to money, and find new possibilities for decision making that aligns their values and their finances.  Presently operating in Chicago, this program is intended to be replicated in local communities.

Financial Literacy for Women

Women with limited experience in managing money embark on the road to fiscal competence as they learn basic financial skills, set goals, and discover that they can take steps to make their dreams come true.  This program has been offered to immigrant women in Bridgeport, CT and Chicago, IL, and also to homeless women in Chicago.
