Motherwealth: the Feminine Path to Money

MotherWealth is a magical story of how the death of an old sense of self brings an endless ocean of treasures from within, including money. It offers a much-needed and heart-warming perspective on why the soulless patriarchal model of money isn't working - and what will. You don't have to "Go Out" and get it. You just have to be Home to receive it. A woman loses the seeming security of a long marriage, breaks her ankle, and can't go out to look for work at a time when she needs more money than ever. Forced to be still, she embarks on an inner journey to find the root of her poverty of separation - and, through the Divine Mother, meets up with source of her true wealth. And then the money just comes. This moving account of an intimate journey to reclaim the eclipsed heart and the body, and to rediscover the ever-present ground of Being available in the moment, has universal - and timely - implications for our personal and collective economies. You don't have to "go out" to get money and all that comes with MotherWealth. You just have to be Home to receive it.

"In this deeply warm-hearted and beautifully written book Naomi Rose takes us with her on a journey to discover a woman's way into the realms of money. On her search for answers she finds herself recalling learning to knit at her grandmother's knee, suckling her baby, and playing the piano. Through her very personal and profound journey she helps us move through and past our shame around money, and learn an instinctual way to open to allowing our wealth to come to us by giving up going out to get it."     --Barbara Wilder, author, "Money Is Love: Reconnecting the Sacred Origins of Money"

"A finely crafted literary work which carefully plumbs the depth of poverty-mind and what it is like to be born a woman in this time. The story is one which carries the seeker back to her center in a world of scarcity and confusion. Naomi embraces her losses, disillusionments, and heartbreaks, undoing her conditioned programming to a false self and finding compassion for her real self. Abandoning the myth of 'Going Out to make money,' she courageously enters the path of awakening. Naomi is a princess weaving straw into gold,using her experiences and interpretations of deprivation and tragedy as the path to the abundance of The Mother within herself. There are very few books being written today that come close to this kind of genius."--Judith Avalon, author, "Entering into the Heart of The Mother: Spiritual Practice Embodied in Daily Life"

"MotherWealth captures the way it feels to value the soul's journey as least as much as money. How we are with money speaks volumes about how we relate to our own inner riches, as the book illustrates through deeply personal, feminine stories and reflections. This book poignantly addresses on an intimate level what The Soul of Money by Lynne Twist has done on a societal level: bringing the heart of compassion into our evolving understanding of how money is connected to the soul. This feminine approach to money and its place in our lives has the potential to connect and heal us. One of MotherWealth's valuable contributions is to open the conversation and offer a pathway to wholeness. Read it and join the conversation."--Kay Sandberg, Director, Lynne Twist's "The Soul of Money Institute"

"An interesting exploration into one woman's complicated and highly personal journey to a healthy relationship to her money. Naomi Rose encourages us all to examine our assumptions about money and to be conscious about our behavior around it."--Susan McCarthy, "The Soul Authority on Money Management"; author, "The Value of Money"; host, PBS special, "Money and Emotions"
