Speakers: Jean Backus, Liliane DesJardins, Debra Winn
I spoke for several hours about the prosperity cycle and poverty cycle and created a theatrical production complete with costumes, music & scripts to demonstrate how we deal with money issues…if the voices in my head could dress up and talk, here is what they would look like and say. I had four women in a skit that each represented my $$ fear, $$ power/control issues, $$ fun & $$ solution. It was a great $$ ice breaker & hilarious!
