Wednesday, January 25th, 9-10am is the virtual class #91330, Blocks to Financial Abundance.

Blocks are mental barriers and negative programming in our subconscious from the stories we heard or experiences we had growing up. As a result of these blocks, it unconsciously resists us from experiencing our desired outcomes (weight loss, loving relationships, and financial wealth for example). With recent world events and the economy, so many people are experiencing a mindset block to financial abundance and live in a higher stress environment with a lack and scarcity mindset. This session will include sharing out on the 7 blocks of financial abundance as well as techniques to start the unblocking process.

The films we will be showing are Tryouts Today, which is an animated short about Two aspiring superheroes make an unexpected connection while waiting in line to try out for the Des Moines Defenders and John - The Last Cowboy which is a feature film about 92-year-old John Hoiland runs his huge ranch in Montana all by himself. The son of a Norwegian immigrant, he has been raised to work hard and save his dollars for a rainy day. Through the years, people have offered him big money for his land. But life on the ranch is the only life he wants, and he finds great joy in the nature surrounding him, the freedom to work on his own land and daily conversations with his best friend Jim.  "JOHN – The Last Cowboy" is a poetic tribute to the simple life, a peaceful escape from fast-paced modern society and a subtle reminder of what is lost.
