Modern Portfolio Strategies
October 23, 2019

Modern Portfolio Theory is no longer modern and there are no "efficient frontiers" to be seen any time soon.

As an investor, knowing the trends, misconceptions and current research will help you manage your decision making processes and better support your personal financial objectives.

Energy, Flow and Your Finances: A Two-Part Workshop October 5 and November 2, 2019

Sony Baron asks, "What is your grief around the flow of money and success"?

Stuck energy can occur at many levels. This can make addressing impediments to our well-being challenging. In this powerful, experiential workshop, each participant will be supported and heard as we share stories and engage in reflection and personal exploration.

Sony will create a safe, sacred, heart held community. You can expect meditation, drumming, and journeying into your own deeper levels of consciousness to clear the obstacles to success in the areas of your life you feel blocked.

Personal Message from Sony: "Prerequisite for attendance is a strong intention to be fully present and a willingness to hear yourself and others. When you show up this way, you may experience a shift in your life, finances, work, health, relationships and self-expression. If this appeals to you, then this circle of learning is for you".

Taught by: Sony Baron, MA, MA. Read more about Sony

Health, Hormones and Your Investments
December 5, 2019

Join us for an exciting new perspective on behavioural finance and our health.

How do our hormones effect our decision making in general and our risk-taking behaviour with regard to our finances?

Does progesterone make us more resilient in volatile markets? Would a shot of testosterone give us the courage to have a heavier equity rating in our portfolios?

Dr. Anita Tannis and Tracy Theemes will intersect their educational and practical professional experiences to help you figure out how your hormones may be impacting your long-term financial success.

Taught by:
Anita Tannis, MD
Tracy Theemes, Financial Advisor, MA, CFP, FCSI, FDS
