Integrating Money
and Meaning

Practices for a Heart-Centered Life

We all exist inside society’s complex, all-encompassing money system, but we rarely talk about it in an honest, self-reflective way. Is it possible to live within this system with integrity and meaning – to find a deeper connection to the “heart”? The answer is YES, and Integrating Money and Meaning is the guide. Using her own story and the stories of others she has met during her many years doing “pastoral care with money” for both individuals and spiritual communities, Maggie Kulyk offers a deeply personal and honest look at the influence of money on her own life as well as the broader society. She then provides practices for bringing money out of the shadows, healing its wounds, and creating a new relationship with money based on our true “heart.” Seeing our relationship with money as central to the spiritual path helps create a more balanced, healthy life for ourselves, our families, our communities, and the planet.

Frances Foster, Emory University Professor Emerita

“Thanks, Maggie, for providing such a thoughtful approach to such a complex topic, and for including various helpful practices. I was fascinated with your own life story and how it has brought you to who/where you are today.”

Dorothy Fletcher, Atlanta, GA

“This book does a good job giving people ways to learn to relate to their money differently and get insights into themselves and their relationship with money. I think it gives people a roadmap and some great exercises to look at what is important to them and to make money decisions from there.”

Camille Gagliardi, Private Wealth Advisor

“Integrating Money and Meaning is wise, moving, galvanizing, and funny. I am deeply grateful for its powerful message about a spiritual path that includes money. Bringing together personal stories, practical advice, and reflection on our deepest longings, Kulyk offers a timely vision for living a heart-centered life in the midst of today’s political chaos and economic uncertainty. A must read!”
