This is Rose Feerick's story:
Rose Feerick's exploration of the connection between spirituality and money began in her formative years in a wealthy, spiritually driven environment. Raised in a family deeply committed to their Catholic faith, she found herself navigating the dichotomy of affluence and simplicity. Her college experience, marked by active community engagement, presented a pivotal moment when she was entrusted with a substantial financial portfolio.
This unexpected inheritance became a catalyst for Rose, prompting her to question how she could align her spiritual values with the responsibility of wealth. Her journey of introspection and seeking harmony led her to the enlightening circles of Wisdom and Money. Through her story, Rose highlights the intricate interplay between personal values, social consciousness, and the profound impact of wealth on an individual's spiritual odyssey.
Rose Feerick grew up in a family that emphasized kindness, ethics, integrity and generosity. As a young adult, she decided to simplify her lifestyle and work to support low-income women who were seeking stable housing and medical care. About the same time, she received the unexpected gift of a financial portfolio. The paradox of that moment awakened questions related to wealth, spiritual wisdom and social justice.
Rose has been offering retreats related to money and Christian spirituality since 2003. She has a BA from Georgetown University and an MDiv from the Jesuit School of Theology of Santa Clara University. She lives in Santa Cruz, California and is delighted to be the mother of two young adult sons who share her love of music, nature and conversation about stuff that matters.
