Integrating Money and Meaning:
Practices for a Heart-Centered Life
If you are wanting to delve deeper into your relationship with money, Integrating Money and Meaning: Practices for a Heart-Centered Life, by Chicory Wealth CEO and founder Maggie Kulyk, with Liz McGeachy, can be your guide.
We all exist inside society’s complex, all-encompassing money system, but we rarely talk about it in an honest, self-reflective way. Is it possible to live within this system with integrity and meaning – to find a deeper connection to the “heart”? The answer is YES, and Integrating Money and Meaning is the guide. Using her own story and the stories of others she has met during her many years doing “pastoral care with money” for both individuals and spiritual communities, Maggie Kulyk offers a deeply personal and honest look at the influence of money on her own life as well as the broader society. She then provides practices for bringing money out of the shadows, healing its wounds, and creating a new relationship with money based on our true “heart.” Seeing our relationship with money as central to the spiritual path helps create a more balanced, healthy life for ourselves, our families, our communities, and the planet.

Now you can also get the INTEGRATING MONEY AND MEANING WORKBOOK as a companion to the practices in the book. Find out more on the INTEGRATING MONEY AND MEANING website.
For My Loved Ones
at the Time of My Death
Chicory Wealth is offering a free workbook to make it easy for you to communicate critical information to your loved ones when you pass away. We understand that thinking and talking about the end of life can be difficult and uncomfortable, but we have also seen first-hand how important such communication is to those who are left behind. Preparing ahead to make our loved ones’ decisions easier at the time of our death is one of the best gifts we can give them. This workbook is available in two versions: one in Microsoft Word, for those who want to fill out an electronic version (always password-protect such documents if you keep them on your computer), and another in PDF, to be printed out and filled out by hand. IMPORTANT: This workbook is not a legal document and does not replace your important estate documents. It also should be updated regularly.
