"Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world."

- Quote, Nelson Mandela

Advocate & Educator Seth Densen Joins Sasha in Conversation

Meet Seth, an advocate and educator with over 20 years in social services and over half a decade in child welfare services. Seth Densen believes in the transformative power of quality education both on an individual level and a macro-level. Devoting resources and funding to education empowers future generations in communities to achieve personal fulfillment, success, and stability.

There are serious issues facing education today, including a lack of funding and resources for districts, schools, and teachers. While Florida receives the third-largest amount of federal K-12 education funding, the state government funds education at a lower per-capita rate. As such, Florida ranks 42nd in spending and 43rd in funding nationally. We can and must do better. He's not only a social worker but also an educator who's committed to advocating for educators and students of all ages in District 86 and across the state. Credit: Seth Densen

Overview

"It's natural to crave prosperity. Some seek to manifest it in myriad ways--using anything from vision boards to writing a pretend check for a million dollars from the Bank of Divinity. Yet whatever comes, or doesn't, the mind always seems to want more. But what if there was a whole other way? Instead of grasping and chasing, what if we offered everything--our money (or lack of it), our triumphs, our problems, our desires--fully back to Love? What if this offering itself was actually the secret to abundance? Tosha Silver, internationally beloved spiritual guide, has created a practical and powerful financial book unlike any other. Leading you through a deeply transformative eight-week process, she shares the mental, emotional, and spiritual steps that anyone can take to learn to fully receive and prosper. Her step-by-step guidance is filled with prayers, meditations, and stories to help you find and heal the source of these fears and unworthiness. As you come to know you are part of something larger--something that you serve and that longs to serve you--you begin to feel a new sense of freedom and abundance. You yourself become a vehicle for Divine Flow."
