His five steps will help you remove any blocks to your good as you decide exactly what you want your life to look like.During this online event\, Tuesday\, March 3\, at 7 p.m. (CT)\, Ken will also talk about the companion journal that accompanies the book\, offering even more exercises\, intentions\, meditations\, and daily writing prompts for 10 weeks.“This path isn’t something we master once; it’s a dynamic dance with life’s infinite potential\,” Ken says. “Each return to these practices reveals deeper insights and opens new doors.”In the book and journal\, Ken works with many types of abundance—not just money but health\, work\, relationships\, and leisure time. He then offers 5 steps of manifestation\, which include not only affirmative thinking and the use of spiritual principles but a fearless look into our own shadows or blocks that keep us from receiving our good.Presenters:Ken Daigle is a passionate teacher\, speaker\, and spiritual leader dedicated to personal transformation. A New Orleans native\, he carries the city’s rich spirit of music\, dance\, and celebration into all he does. His journey led him from the Big Easy to the Big Apple\, where he built a successful career in the performing arts as a dancer\, singer\, actor\, director\, and choreographer.Ken discovered New Thought teachings during the AIDS crisis in the 1980s in New York City\, finding hope in You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay. This led him to A Course in Miracles with Marianne Williamson and eventually to Unity\, where Rev. Eric Butterworth’s church profoundly shaped his spiritual path.Ken was ordained as a Unity minister in 2012 and currently serves as senior minister at Unity San Francisco. His transformational prosperity program\, Absolute Abundance\, is used in Unity communities across the U.S. and Canada.Moderator Rev. Ellen Debenport is vice president of publishing for Unity World Headquarters.Register Today: Registration is free.
