Class Outline:
Week 1: Where Are You Now?
We’ll assess your current financial landscape and you’ll get to know the other students in the class. I’ll share the Wild Money philosophy with you and give you an overview of the class.
Week 2: Receive Money with Grace
Money comes into our lives in many ways, but do we ever stop to think about how it feels and what impact those feelings have on the inflow of money? You will explore your current relationship with receiving, track the money that comes into your life, and learn ways to open to a new, graceful relationship with money received.
Week 3: Spend with Intention
In the world of electronic banking and credit cards it’s hard to feel connected to the money you spend. Damn hard. But if you build a connection to your precious resources and understand the emotions that underlie spending decisions, the picture radically changes. You’ll learn to recognize triggers for unconscious spending, and replace old habits with new, healthy actions so that more of money is nurtured, grown and protected, and what is spent is done so with intention and gratitude.
It’s one thing to receive money, and quite another to care for it once it is in your hands. Nurturing a nest egg is metaphoric and practical. You will take stock of your past assumptions about saving and investing so you can create automated ways to tuck away money.
Week 5: Grow Your Gold
No one would plant a garden with only one crop because intuitively they know it’s risky, not to mention boring. Yet, many do exactly this with their portfolios. Using language and metaphors from the garden, you will learn to shift out of fear and into curiosity when thinking of investing. You’ll understand why investing matters and what it involves, all while making the process your own through the power of story and image.
Week 6: Protect Your Wild Places
Simple but profound, you need to know how to respond to a crisis and be prepared for the unexpected so that all is not lost when faced with illness, death or disability. You will learn ways to protect your income, assets and family by understanding when and how to use insurance products and estate planning. From historic experiences to current practices, you will assess what areas you need to shore up and how to prioritize competing needs.
Week 7: Give With Guts
You will examine your patterns of giving along with the underlying emotions, and the impact that giving (or lack thereof) has on you. I will share giving practices that align with your values rather than guilt and give you permission to care for yourself while also serving the world.
Week 8: Taking Your Wild with You
In the final class you will do a retrospective of all the images and writing you did during the class, and create a final vision of how you want your relationship with money to look in the future.
I can’t wait to take this journey with you!

About Luna Jaffe, CFP™, MA
I teach women how to develop a healthy, sustainable relationship with money. Along the way we celebrate, cry, marvel, sip fine tea and laugh at our gloriously imperfect selves. I guide women to financial well being using creativity as a compass.
I wasn’t born with a money gene, and most likely you weren’t either.
I was an artist, painting on silk and travelling the world.
Money was an afterthought.
Then I received a Master’s degree in Jungian psychology, merging my love of art and psyche, soul and spirit.
Money was moving to the front seat.
A stint working for a Fortune 100 company as a corporate trainer and coach awakened the possibility of consistent income.
Money was a vehicle for my dreams.
I gave birth at 40, experiencing the messy miracle of life.
Money mattered.
Then 911 happened, I got ill and was laid off…all with a toddler in my arms.
Money became critical.
I was not looking for financial planning, but apparently it was looking for me. I was recruited. I feared I couldn’t learn about money then dared myself to try. I was inspired, doggedly determined, and unstoppable.
Money became a friend, mentor, companion and advocate.
Over the past ten years I have developed an innovative planning process that elegantly combines creativity and psychology, right brain and left brain, body and soul. I want to know what you feel about money, what experiences you’ve had with investing, what your fears are, what you strive for. Your values matter. Your dreams count. Your voice will be heard.
My life’s work is to inspire you to transform your relationship with money, build your net worth and feel confident being at the helm of your financial ship.
