Holy Currencies and Hard Currencies

Noni Session

COOP Social Club

98A Green St, Jamaica Plain, MA 02130, USA

Wednesday, September 23, 2026

6:00 PM

Join Noni Session in this discussion on how holy currencies offer a path grounded in holistic stewardship, in direct contrast to hard currencies which often rely on extraction and oppression to function. Explore how we navigate and prioritize these different forms of wealth. The "Holy Currencies" framework was originally shared with us by a member through the work of Eric Law and the Kaleidoscope Institute. In contrast, we define hard currencies as the finite, external instruments—such as cash, equity, and debt—that the dominant economic system uses to measure and control value.
