Money and Spirituality: Integrating Wholeness

IEC Conference: 2025

How can our relationship to money become a gateway to awakening—rather than a source of stress, shame, or silence?

In this immersive, heart-centered workshop, we’ll explore how our relationship with money reflects—and shapes—every level of our lives: inner patterns, cultural conditioning, practical behaviors, and collective systems. Using the lens of Integral Theory’s four quadrants, and the Clear Sky community as a living example, we’ll journey into money not just as a resource, but as a mirror, a teacher, and a transformative practice.

Drawing on personal story, body-based awareness, ritual, and archetypal insight, this workshop invites you to:

  • Explore unconscious money patterns through movement, meditation, and breath
  • Work with eight financial archetypes—from the Victim and the Martyr to the Magician
  • Engage in poetry, storytelling, and group constellation to access deeper healing
  • Reflect on dana (the gift economy), transparency, and trust as emerging financial paradigms
  • Reimagine money as a sacred tool for clarity, generosity, and cultural evolution

You’ll leave with not just insights—but practices. Not just theory—but an inner council of healthy allies and one inspired action to take into your world.

This workshop is for anyone—whether you feel confident or cautious—ready to explore money as a path to integrated wholeness.

Karen McAllister is a co-founding member and leader at Clear Sky Retreat Center, where she has lived year-round in a residential integral conscious community since 2004. Trained by Clear Sky’s co-founders and spiritual teachers, Qapel and Catherine Sensei, she not only studies the map of integral theory but actively walks the territory, embodying its principles in daily practice.

Rooted in this lived experience, Karen, her teachers, and their community move together as a collective—helping both themselves and newer members move beyond an overemphasis on the “I” quadrant—developing the “we,” “its,” and “it” quadrants through collective practice, service, and financial maturity. As the community’s money coach and founder of The Mindful Money Coach, Karen works on both growing up and cleaning up, helping individuals integrate their financial shadow so they can resource their path rather than bypass it.

This work extends beyond Clear Sky to the wider international community through Qapel and Catherine Sensei’s Planet Dharma, where Karen supports seekers in bridging the gap between spiritual aspiration and financial engagement—making money a tool for awakening and meaningful impact.

For those ready to deepen their spiritual and financial maturity—sustaining both inner and outer evolution—she offers a lived pathway to wholeness.
