We will talk about how managing your finances can help you make decisions based on solid human values.

We will then dive into a breakout session to discuss how people we know made good or bad use of their wealth (or their time), and Wrap up – overall discussion about key points and what the group learned from each other’s experiences and goals. |
| How local community projects help the indigent – 5LMBMT
Most people have heard the phrase, “the poor you will always have with you.” It is attributed to Jesus, but it’s not original to him. He was referencing Scripture. What is the context for this? What does it mean for us in 2019? In a just society, will we always have the poor among us? What is our individual and our communal responsibility to those who live in poverty? This workshop will help you understand poverty, and help you find ways to make a difference in your community. |
| Positive Impacts of Business on Local Economies: Building Relationships that Foster Community – 6JMAT
The ability of a business to build relationships of trust and respect in a community is often seen as a necessary precursor for success. After all, selling products and services depends on developing strong personal connections while meeting the needs of potential clients. But, what if there is more to it than that? What if the primary mission of a business is seen as being a bridge builder and connector within a community? What does that look like in the real world? This workshop will present a radical vision of community building within the ongoing operations of work, using the Economy of Communion as a model for implementation. Participants will be asked to interact with their peers in work groups to explore practical and concrete ways of being community activists using business and economics as tools for creating more just, united and compassionate communities.

| “The Sacred Economy” – How do we bridge spirituality and the economy? – 7EGDU
With growing inequality and polarization, alongside mistrust of our institutions and capitalist system, many are looking to shape an economy that operates differently – we want an economy that is inclusive and regenerative. The companies we build, the way we spend and invest our money, and other economic choices we make can play a meaningful role in how this new economy emerges. Faith, spiritual and wisdom traditions can help shape us on that journey. They can shape a new style of entrepreneurship and investing that supports shared prosperity and belonging. For these practices to emerge and grow, we need spaces for dialogue that help bring it into being. This workshop will offer that space for individuals to come together, connect with each other and explore the ways our spiritual practices can help inform a new economy. |
