Sometimes the best conversations need a little more time.

Join the Wild New Way Women’s Collective for a relaxed evening upstairs at Zia’s Cantina. This gathering was created because women in our community asked for more opportunities to spend time together outside our regular morning events.

There is no presentation, workshop, or formal agenda. The evening is simply a chance to unwind, reconnect with women you already know, meet someone new, and enjoy conversation that has room to unfold naturally.

As you arrive, you’ll be able to pick up a few optional conversation starters if you’d like a little help getting a conversation going or moving beyond small talk. There is absolutely no pressure to use them, and no expectation to share anything personal.

Whether you’ve joined us before or this is your first Women’s Collective event, you are warmly welcome. You are also very welcome to come on your own.

While you’re there, we encourage you to show Zia’s some love by ordering dinner, a snack, or a drink to enjoy during the evening. Food and drinks are available for individual purchase.

Money is rarely just about money.

It can be connected to security, independence, success, responsibility, generosity, self-worth, and what we believe we are allowed to want or have. Some of those beliefs are easy to recognize. Others operate quietly beneath the surface and can influence our choices without us fully realizing it.

In Jungian psychology, the shadow refers to the parts of ourselves we learn to hide, judge, push aside, or disconnect from because they did not feel acceptable or safe to express. Our money shadow can include the beliefs and emotional patterns we carry around earning, spending, saving, receiving, asking for more, or having enough.

In this workshop, Cindy Schmidt will introduce the idea of the money shadow in an accessible, grounded way and explore how it can show up in everyday life.

You may begin to notice questions such as: Why does spending money on yourself bring up guilt? Why does asking for more feel uncomfortable? Why can money create tension in relationships, or become tied to responsibility, control, success, or worth?

Together, we’ll explore the beliefs and messages you may have absorbed about money, the emotions that tend to surface around it, and the patterns that may be influencing your decisions, relationships, boundaries, and sense of possibility.

This is not a financial-planning workshop. It is an opportunity to look more closely at the personal meaning money carries and become more aware of what may be happening beneath your everyday reactions and choices.

No previous knowledge of Jungian psychology or shadow work is needed.
