Self-esteem, relationships, intimacy, purpose, individual and collective prosperity; everything is influenced by our relationship with money.
Globally, the shortcomings of our current economic and social systems are becoming increasingly apparent. If we seek to re-invent our operating systems and build a better future that simultaneously considers planet and people and that aims to create prosperity for all, we need to first uncover the beliefs and behaviours that keep us chained to an unsustainable way of life.
A central and rarely addressed element of this exploration is our relationship with money.
Have you ever…
… been worried about how to pay your rent?
… been worried about how to secure your assets for an uncertain future?
… felt like you don’t deserve the money you have or will inherit?
Why should you participate in CU*money?
Becoming money conscious is the key to change in every area of (your) life.
Ask yourself:
- Do you experience recurring conflicts about money in personal and professional relationships?
- Is your self-worth linked to the remuneration received from others?
- Do you suffer from a constant sense of lack or do you fear for your existence?
- Do you feel disempowered and ineffective?
- Are you stuck doing something you don’t want to do?
- Are you restless or anxious with regard to asset management?
These are some of the ways in which an unconscious relationship with money leads to unintended consequences.
CU*money explores this taboo and often conflict-laden topic with honesty and humour. Learning to magically ‘make’ more money is a possible, but not an inevitable consequence of CU*money. CU*money is a process of deep consciousness work. The aim of this process is to give you greater freedom in dealing with money and to enable you to act with ease and responsibility.
Only when you understand the psychological value you attach to money will you be able to handle money freely and unencumbered.
You might already be on a personal development path and aware that money is a cultural construct. But even when this is understood, money continues to determine much of your private and professional everyday life as well as your personal relationships.
Here’s what you will experience in the CU*money programme
CU*money is a blended learning programme that guides you to learn and talk about money and become conscious of and competent in your relationship with money.
Using money as a mirror, you will
- uncover your fears and reactive patterns,
- discover compassion for the parts of your personality you tried to hide or suppress,
- assume ownership for your needs and wants and
- connect with others in open, vulnerable and solution-oriented dialogue.
We will dig deep into what keeps you individually and us collectively trapped in old paradigms and build the competencies needed to envision and co-create a prosperous future. By strengthening your ability to deploy candour and kindness when dealing with yourself and others, you will unleash your full potential for the benefit of all.
And these are the benefits you will reap from participating in CU*money
- Gain a better understanding of the psychology of money
- Uncover your beliefs and their roots in your family history
- Face the money reality that you have (unconsciously) created
- Dissolve the influence of old patterns on your handling of money
- Strengthen your personal ability to deal with financial situations in an agile and relaxed way
- Let go of shame, guilt and conflicts connected to money
- Name your potential and the value of your work without undervaluing yourself or feeling shame
- Set new (financial) goals and formulate concrete measures
- Increase your freedom of action when talking about money, negotiating fees, or investing money;
- Design a vision of a prosperous life in which you do what you want
- Increase your capacity to create impact in the world
Have you ever…
… been jealous of what someone else earns or owns?
… hidden from your spouse or partner exactly how much you earn or own?
… been ashamed of having or not having money?

The philosophy behind CU*money
CU*money is based on more than 30 years of research by Peter Koenig (peterkoenigsystem®) and it is the only online programme utilising his original writings.
At the core of CU*money lies the observation that our relationship to money is an expression of our relationship to ourselves. Money work is deeply spiritual work that connects us to our essence. Everything that we want to be and everything that we don’t want to be is mirrored in our current money reality and some of the least obvious parts of ourselves are revealed in our relationship with money.
To name these unconscious parts accurately and to integrate them back into our identity makes us more whole and frees us to do what we want in life. This newfound freedom will show itself in our relationship with money, with our work, with our clients and in our definition of prosperity. The insights resulting from moneywork are often astonishing, sometimes funny and always of great emotional depth.
The “moneywork” process underlying CU*money is my invention or discovery. But am in awe and admiration at Nadja’s brilliance in converting this sensitive process into digital form, adding her own essential touches and masterfully creating a profound experience for those seeking to expand their relationship with money and ultimately, their relationship with themselves.
I’m not planning to die shortly, but in a sense the work is done, I already know that because CU*money is in the world, I can “die in peace”!
– Peter Koenig
Have you ever…
… earned as much as you wanted, only to find that it wasn’t enough after all?
… been part of a project that was great until money was an issue?
… longed to do something else but didn’t because of financial concerns?
