My Latest Musings:

  • A dear woman wrote to me a few months ago with a delightful surprise. She’d been cleaning out her closet (such a great practice for mental clarity) when, lo and behold, she came across a vintage copy of The Yogi Times from about 12 years ago. She flipped through the page, softened by the years, and stumbled across an ad from me.Here’s the miraculous bit: even though this ad was over a dozen years old, and I’d moved from the…

  • What can you do when you desperately need cash … and it’s just not there? It’s something that will happen to most of us at least a few times, over our lives. Your artisanal candle business is only a few months old — but you need money for rent now.

Well, it’s happening! I’ve been contacted by a few amazing Art of…

  • It’s hard for me to believe, but it was over 16 years ago that I led my first money workshop. I didn’t feel ready, in the slightest — I had only been consciously working on my own money relationship for several years. But my first money mentor, Tamara, lovingly pushed me out of the nest. “Bari,” she announced, “it’s time for you to lead your first workshop. I’ll host it. Get ready.” I panicked. While I could feel, deep in…

  • Dear Community, This is it: your absolute final, quickie, loving nudge:   This is your last chance to join The Art of Money 2017. The doors are closing on March 1st. (You can still register right here.)   We’ve kept our doors open even after the program “officially” began a few weeks ago, because so many people had missed the final call, but wanted to join this incredible community money school. The past few months have been incredibly stressful for…
