Women's Council Workshop: Your Relationship with Money
🔹 About the Event
Your Relationship with Money — exploring how money shapes power, influence & identity.
There are many types of wealth, in fact in ancient Indian scriptures, eight types of wealth are described as the way for a person to get to enlightenment or liberation.
One of these is financial wealth. In this workshop through a series of discussions we will explore our own relationship with wealth.
We will together examine the women's angle on finance, and how we have evolved to be 50% of the population that receives less than 2% of venture money, and yet return 2.5x more revenues for every dollar invested burning 15% less capital.
This event is part of a monthly series created to foster continuous connection, learning, and collaboration — a place to build trusted relationships and grow together as a community of women leaders.
🔹 Who This Event Is For
Are you a woman turning bold ideas into ventures, ready to explore what’s next in strategy, capital, AI, or leadership?

Bring your ambition, and leave with new ideas, real connections, and maybe even your next big move. This is where innovation meets intention and your path to the boardroom begins.
