Follow your purpose – with and without money.
Let us make a bold claim: You cannot fully live your purpose or claim to be an effective changemaker unless you have resolved your relationship with money – whether you have a lot or a little.
CU*money is a personal development programme that supports you to re-invent your relationship with money. Money is a mirror that makes disowned parts of your identity visible. Through the re-integration of these disowned aspects of your personality, you will heal your relationship with money, experience more ease and joy, and be able to create impact in alignment with your values.

Self-esteem, relationships, intimacy, purpose, individual and collective prosperity –all aspects of our lives are shaped by our relationship with money!
Money can bring freedom and possibility, but it can also be the cause of fear of loss, anxiety about not being ‘secure enough’ in the future, or feelings of shame, guilt, or inadequacy.
This all goes to show that money is more than just numbers – it is an expression of our internal incongruencies and conflicts of value:
- You are successful by traditional standards, have sufficient financial resources – and yet still feel insecure, disconnected, or unsure about what ‘enough’ really means.
- You are navigating the emotional complexities of inherited family wealth, feeling unease or even shame because you didn’t ‘earn’ this money in the conventional sense.
- You are a dedicated changemaker, invested equity and inclusion – and struggle with the inequality when comparing the financial resources of those who have with those who have not.
- You feel simultaneously resentful and ashamed because you are working hard but still never seem to get ahead financially.
The roots of these internal struggles can be found in our money identity. Our money identity arises at the intersection between our individual psyche, our family scripts, and social norms and structures. It contains who we believe we are and who we are not, what we deserve or don’t deserve to have.
To change our individual and collective money reality, we first need to understand the psychology of money and how it shapes us.
Have you ever…
- Have you ever felt that you don’t have enough money or been anxious that you might lose it?
- Downplayed or exaggerated your wealth or success to feel accepted by others?
- Experienced shame or embarrassment about your resources, or felt undeserving?
Why should you participate in CU*money?
If you care about social justice and the health of our planet–especially if you have financial resources–you might struggle with the seemingly irresolvable contradictions money holds: Is money the solution or is money the problem? Is it a tool for change or a tool of oppression? Is it a cause for connection, or a cause of separation?
The truth is – money is but a tool. The impact of money is determined by the consciousness of the person wielding it.
Are you struggling with questions such as…
- Why do I experience recurring conflicts about money in my personal or professional relationships?
- Why is my self-worth linked to the money I earn or have?
- Why do I feel as if I am stuck in a golden cage, not daring to do what I want?
- Why am I worried about losing my money, even when there’s no objective reason for it?
- Why does it seem so incompatible to be a ‘good’ person and have money?
CU*money is for those who are ready to explore these questions honestly and in community. The CU*money programme helps you identify white spots in your self-awareness, and to name and gently transform your inner contradictions – so you can move forward with clarity, purpose, and compassion for yourself and others.
Here’s what you will experience in the CU*money programme
CU*money is a groundbreaking personal development programme. Whether you have inherited wealth or created your standard of living independently, CU*money gives you space to generate profound insights, shift your patterns, and take ownership of your money story.

- Understand which of the three money types you are, and the money reality you have created as a result.

- Resolve shame, guilt, and conflicts connected to money.

What makes CU*money unique?
CU*money isn’t a financial literacy course nor a ‘mindset hack’ to teach you how to ‘manifest’ more money or abundance.
We see money as a mirror reflecting your desires and fears and that shows you who you are aspiring to be and who you avoid being. CU*money introduces you to a deep consciousness practice that deconditions your old money patterns and teaches you how to live and work with freedom and love – whether you have a little or a lot.
The programme blends self-guided study, self-inquiry, courageous small group dialogues, and facilitated group work with the bigger cohort. As a result, you will step into a more integrated, empowered relationship with money that supports your life and purpose, rather than limiting it.
Who CU*money is for
CU*money is a personal and profound journey, suited for those ready to align their resources with their purpose:
- Founders and CEOs consciously looking to build a future ready and inclusive business
- Inheritors or stewards of family wealth seeking peace and purpose
- Investors wanting to align capital with values
- Coaches or organisational developers who hold space for others – but rarely explore their own money blocks
- Changemakers, activists, and creatives navigating money with ambivalence
- Anyone wanting to rewrite their money story once and for all
The philosophy behind CU*money
Based on over 30 years of research by Peter Koenig (peterkoenigsystem®), CU*money is the only online programme grounded in his original writings – transformed for the digital era by ConsciousU founder Nadjeschda Taranczewski and led by experienced money coaches.
At the core of CU*money lies the observation that our relationship to money is an expression of our relationship to ourselves. ‘Moneywork’ is hence a deeply spiritual process. It reveals the parts of ourselves we have disowned and enables us to re-integrate them back into our identity.
The result? On the one hand ease with money – in relationships, within our family, and at work. On the other hand, a redefined sense of prosperity, grounded in authenticity, love and meaning.
Only after we have transformed our relationship with money by integrating our shadows can technologies such as blockchain or new monetary systems deliver truly new outcomes. Without the inner moneywork that brings about a new consciousness, we are bound to reproduce our old shadows and destructive behaviours in any new systems.
“The ‘moneywork’ process taught in CU*money is my invention or discovery. But I am in awe and admiration of Nadja’s brilliance in converting this sensitive process into a digital format. She added her own essential touches and masterfully created a profound experience for those seeking to transform their relationship with money – and ultimately, their relationship with themselves. I’m not planning to die shortly, but in a sense my work is done. I already know that I can ‘die in peace’ because CU*money is in the world!”
– Peter Koenig

Who should join CU*money?
The structure and content of CU*money
CU*money consists of 6 modules, delivered over a period of 13-15 weeks.
The CU*money modules
Module 1 – ‘About Money‘ explores the truth of money, the three types of projections onto money, and what your relationship with money reveals about your identity.
Module 2 – ‘Old Money Story‘ guides you in exploring your personal and family history with money.
Module 3 – ‘Money Reality‘ invites you to examine the personal money reality you have created so far, thereby laying the foundation for your future.
Module 4 – ‘Projections‘ guides you through a deep process of uncovering and reclaiming hidden parts of your identity that you have, until now, been projecting onto money.
Joyful Money Flow Process – instead of operating with a fixed participation fee, we will engage in a deep conversation about vision, values, needs and capacities. This will serve as the context for determining your final financial contribution to CU*money.
Module 5 – ‘New Money Story‘ introduces the concept of ‘the normal and the natural regime‘ in relation to money and prosperity, and guides you in writing your new money story.
Each module consists of…
- Audios, and their transcripts, that introduce the core ideas
- Self-reflection exercises that allow you to apply those ideas to your life
- The opportunity to exchange insights, experiences, and questions with other participants on the online learning platform

How much does this cost?
We all live in different financial circumstances. Fairness therefore does not mean that everyone pays the same amount. Fairness means that we deal transparently with needs, capacities and feelings and take these into account when deciding who pays what.
Together with you, we want to overcome the logic of ‘supply and demand’, artificial scarcity and restricted access for people with limited financial resources. Instead, we talk about financial circumstances, needs, unspoken assumptions and fears. In this way, we are developing a new money story and testing a regenerative economic practice in which all participants are satisfied with what they give and receive.
How does it work?
When you register, you initially only pay a registration fee of €149 (plus VAT, if applicable) to secure your place in the programme.
During the CU*money programme, we will talk about our respective financial circumstances. During our ‘Joyful Money Flow Process,’ we will engage in a deep dialogue about needs, value, and capacities. At the end, of this conversation, you will determine your appropriate final participation fee. In the past, CU*money participants have contributed between 300 Euro and 2,000 Euro in total – more or less depending on their situation.
Through this shared process, we create the foundation for a community based on transparency, mutual care and a new definition of prosperity.
If you feel anxious because there is no fixed participation fee – rest assured that this is normal! We are breaking with the old distribution logic here, and that takes some getting used to. The joint research process for your appropriate contribution is designed in such a way that giving and taking is easy and enjoyable for all of us.

Meet your CU*money coach
Agnes Otzelberger is an integrative transpersonal therapist working in private practice and organisational settings, and works with groups and individuals on their relationship to money using Peter Koenig’s transformative ‘Money Work’, which draws on Jungian ideas on shadow and the unconscious.
Agnes is specialised in working with change-makers who feel overwhelmed, burned out or stuck to support them in finding their resilience, power and wisdom, through group and 1:1 training and therapeutic work.
Coming from a background of ten+ years in the not-for-profit sector and international development, with a focus on climate change, gender and social inequality, she started ‘the Good Jungle’ to connect the world of beyond-profit organisations and working for the greater good with cutting edge insights and practices from the emerging meeting place between modern psychology & science and contemplative practice.
Fabian Sabo is a systemic coach. He coaches individuals and teams. His focus is on life-changing decisions. Whether in our careers, business lives, or private lives, we are all familiar with this. Despite all our routine decision-making, there is always that one challenge that we hardly want to face—because it seems so incredibly important: Should I… take the new job or stay with my current employer? Sell my business or continue to fight alone? Stay in a relationship or break up?
In his work, Fabian combines his curiosity about people and their processes with analytical thinking, deep empathy, presence, and humor. He supports people in recognizing their own abilities, motivations, and values so that they can change their perspective.
With 30 years of professional experience in the media industry—as an investigative journalist, founder, and managing director—Fabian brings a keen sense of imbalances in systems of all kinds. He combines this with a wide range of methods, from systemic approaches to deep inner work. In this way, he creates spaces for uncertain decision-makers where they can find new solutions.
In 2023, he also added money and reclamation work according to Peter König to his portfolio.
