*Join Michael and Chaka this Friday, December 19th @ 12 PM ET, for World Meditation Day sponsored by the United Nations and The Chaka Khan Foundation! Learn more at:* https://chakakhanfoundation.org/meditate/
*Begin 2026 guided by spiritual clarity and energized by possibility!* Join Michael for a powerful virtual New Year’s Day Meditation, Visioning & Activation, livestreamed from Costa Rica! *Sign up at https://events.agapelive.com/begin-again/ (Early Bird discount ends tonight, 12/17/25!)*
Today, Michael welcomes global music icon and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, Chaka Khan. A 10-time Grammy winner with more than 100 million records sold, Chaka has collaborated widely across music’s spectrum while also shining on stage and Broadway. Beyond entertainment, Chaka is an author, entrepreneur, and humanitarian, co-founding the Chaka Khan Foundation with her sister, Tammy Michelle, to uplift overlooked communities through wellness, education, and creative expression.
*Conversation highlights include:*
-UN World Meditation Day: Healing From Within livestreamed event on December 19th– what it is, how to join, and why collective stillness matters
-How Stevie Wonder introduced Chaka to Transcendental Meditation, shaping her spiritual resilience in the music industry
-Chaka’s Full Moon Meditations—why lunar phases affect us (as we’re mostly water) and how having a calm presence helps families and communities
-From Dr. Emoto’s water work to sound for plants: imprinting peace and love as a daily practice
-The work of the Chaka Khan Foundation focusing on wellness, dignity, and support—reconnecting incarcerated parents with kids and providing communication boards for neurodivergent children
-A wider view of communication and the unique gifts of autistic “star children”
-Chaka’s most profound insight: the absence of love makes us vulnerable; self-worth and compassion restore strength, and so much more!
Finally, Michael leads a guided meditation on amplifying peace and pairing it with gratitude to radiate blessings.
