Peter Koenig : Money seminars

Peter Koenigs Money Seminar

What is money?

People say that money is power, money is freedom, money is security, money is happiness. These are a few of the things that people say money is. But they also say money is … a medium of exchange, energy, information, existence, fortune, misfortune, evil, a burden, a source of jealousy … and much, much more.

Yet if money can be so versatile to be all of these things at the same time, we may ask what is its real fundamental nature? What indeed is money?

Money seems to be …

In Peter Koenig’s Money Seminar people discover that money is an empty medium - paper, metal (coin), bank accounts etc. - on to which a person projects his or her definitions. In the act of projection money becomes “vitalised”. It takes on the characteristics of whatever has been consciously or unconsciously projected into it, then returns concrete evidence that it is indeed everything the person thought it was in the first  place! In short therefore, money becomes or at least seems to be in your experience …

… whatever you think and say it is!

If this thought sets your mind spinning - if you start to see the practical implications of this not just for your own financial circumstances but also for the the way organizations, society and the whole monied economy are structured - then this seminar is probably for you. It offers a forum where people from all walks of life and levels of wealth can research their money relationship. Results that can be expected:

1. Increased self-knowledge, understanding and awareness
2. Competence to handle a wider range of financial situations with competence
3. Fresh ways of approaching such topics as investment, the creation of money, insurance, pensions etc.

What happens in the seminar?

The seminar is conceived as a free flowing series of exchanges over two days between the seminar leader and the participants.

The exchanges are with words and also with money that the participants also bring to the seminar. Led by Peter Koenig or an accredited facilitator the process is designed to throw up insights on individual and collective beliefs and habits with money, and adapts to the specific needs of the participants as they surface. “The Biography Kaleidoscope” and “Hermetic Money Box” exercises developed by Peter Koenig usually form part of this process.

Some of the reasons why people attend the Money Seminar:

• I never have enough money
• Uncertainty where and how to invest
• Conflict on inheritance
• To learn about the nature and creation of money
• Unease with having money
• Inability to spend
• Dissatisfied with contradictory,erratic behaviour
• How do I bring together doing what I love and making a living?

• Discriminated against for being rich
• To be less “boring” with my money
• To be more stable with mine
• To learn about developments in the world of mainstream and alternative financing
• Starting my own business - want to start off on the right foot.

Peter Koenig's Money Seminars Description

Peter Koenig's Money Seminars

Background

Much of the activity related to money in our lives derives from habits adopted in childhood from parents and mentors and lived out today with little further thought or reflection.  Many of these habits have also become seeded as "normal"/normative in our companies, social institutions and industrial society generally, reinforced by the prevailing economic theories instilled into students at universities and business schools.

In these changing times however an increasing number of people are experiencing unease with the way money is dealt with - irrespective of how much money they earn or possess.  The reason for this is that where, in the growth phase of the industrial age an expansion of individual and company profit automatically represented a meaningful expansion of the economy, wealth and quality of life for society at large, this equation is no longer self-evident.  Activities which lead to the attainment of financial goals may indeed be meaningful and of benefit, but under today's conditions and operating out of old norms stand an equal chance of being meaningless and even harmful.  In the latter case this meaninglessness, often accompanied by existential concerns and the relegation of personal health, quality of life and vision to a "luxury for better times", not only causes much stress but demeans the human spirit.

Peter Koenig's Money Seminar has been designed to offer participants a fresh and differentiated approach to money, one which will help them design their own individual strategy according to their own individual needs and life situation.  It is not only intended for those who have money "problems" but also those who are interested to expand the constructive use of the money they possess, as well as those who wish to study deeper what money is by nature, how it works, how it is created and the wider effects it has on society.  The seminar is not specifically designed to help participants make more money, though for some this may be the result.  The focus is rather on entering and maintaining a relationship with money that brings satisfaction.

The seminar is in workshop form, over a period of 2 days with 8 to 25 participants.  It contains information and exercises with (real) money that the participants themselves bring to the seminar.  In the course of these and in exchanges with each other and with Peter Koenig participants gain awareness of sometimes deeply ingrained habits.  This fresh awareness then opens the way for new and free choices in dealing with old, and seemingly set, situations.
