Money & Meaning Summit

July 17, 2015 By Tami Schwerin Leave a Comment

An ABUNDANCE NC & SLOW MONEY EVENT • SEP 10-12, 2015:

Since money it is such an easy thing to measure, it tends to be the first and only yardstick we use when it comes to assessing our place in the world. Because meaningless and abstract financial capital is what we focus on, it’s easy to lose sight of the natural, social, human and spiritual capitals which sustain us. At this conference we are going to take a crack at fusing money and meaning together…

"I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me, too. Well, I hope that if you are out there and read this and know that, yes, it’s true I’m here, and I’m just as strange as you." ~Frida Kahlo

Alive and Crackling….

Alive and Crackling….

"...We have barely disembarked into life...we've only just now been born, let's not fill our mouths with so many uncertain names, with so many sad labels, with so many pompous letters, with so much yours and mine, with so much signing of papers. I intend to confuse things, to unite them, make them new-born intermingle them, undress them, until the light of the world has the unity of the ocean, a generous wholeness, a fragrance alive and crackling."
― Pablo Neruda
