A pioneer of personal growth, Shakti Gawain, is the keynote speaker for Minnesota State University, Mankato's annual Women and Spirituality Conference Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 7-8.
The 25th annual conference focuses on the importance of working toward greater consciousness, awareness, balance, and wholeness.

Gawain, of Mill Valley, Calif., will discuss personal healing, the expression of creativity, and envisioning the future to nurture change in oneself and in the world. She is the author of several best-selling books, including Creative Visualization, Living in the Light, and The Path of Transformation, and her works have been translated to more than 30 languages. For two decades, Gawain has led workshops to help individuals in developing personal growth.
