What is the Keys to the Kingdom
-- the Way of St. Francis
45-Day Spirit Quest?
Great question! It is a 45-Day social/spiritual experiment to drink, breathe, walk, and talk each of the nine qualities of St. Francis of Assisi's Prayer into life, to see if together we can manifest more harmony, love, understanding, and tolerance in our divided world.
Each of us will bring their unique insight into what each quality means, and we will each do the best we know how to step into and live this quality in our world: internally within us, and externally in the relationships in our environment.
Every five days, you will receive a quality of focus, which you will use as a coaster to charge your water on, that you will drink in throughout the day, as a symbol of taking this quality into your body, and becoming IT. In this way you will become an "Instrument of Lord's Peace."
Our Story
WHO WAS ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI?
There is probably no saint more revered and well known in all of Christian history than St. Francis. Born in Assisi, Italy (c.1181), and celebrated for his exemplary life of holiness and peace worldwide, he inspires both Christians and non-Christians alike. Like a medieval Gandhi, St. Francis' legacy to us is his model of peaceable living.
However, St. Francis didn't start out as a saint. He was a regular youth of his time, who enjoyed a life of privilege and wealth, indulging in all that life could offer to a young fellow. But soon, he grew dissatisfied with his meaningless existence, and he started seeking answers to such questions as "Who am I?" and "What am I here for?" This call was answered by way of a spiritual vision that called to him: "Go and repair My church which, as you can see, is falling into ruins." Thus began his spiritual journey of discovering the meaning of the vision and his life. Did it mean repair a building? A religious institution? A global human fellowship? Or perhaps an inner temple of the soul....
We can all ask ourselves this question about our own calling. And it is this call that inspired me to start this Quest, which I hope you find a worthy mission to join.

i'MAGiNT LiFE BIRTH
It was October 3, 2016. A beautiful, sunny morning in Southern California, but I could hardly see it. I had only enough money for one month of mortgage and no idea what to do after. A quote by Wayne Dyer caught my attention:
“You receive what you desire for others.”
I felt as if an important message was hidden in it, which could get me out of the predicament I was in. “You receive what you desire for others,” my inner voice repeated. In other words, if you want to receive something, you must desire it for others. Why? Simple:
“Your outer reality is a reflection of your inner reality.”
That means “the other” is a reflection of you in a mirror. If you desire something for your reflection, you receive that.
I thought about what I really desired at that moment and wrote: “I am unlimited abundance I crave” on a piece of paper. I knew that to get what I wanted, I had to become it; only then would it be reflected back to me in the outer world. Then I remembered Dr. Emoto’s:
“Water is a blueprint for our reality, which can change with a single positive thought.”
So, I made this piece of paper into an improvised coaster and put my water bottle on it. As I started sipping this water throughout the day, a picture formed in my mind’s eye: beautiful coasters for charging water and millions of people from all walks of life drinking water charged with different qualities and experiencing real transformation.
Obsessed with my vision, I invested the little money I had left into creating prototypes, and in 45 days, I had a new home and money in the bank to develop what has become known as i’MAGiNT LiFE — a system for self-realization.
WHY WATER?
For thousands of years, people intuited that when they pray over the water they drink, it changes and becomes "holy"! Intrigued, Japanese researcher, Masaru Emoto, conducted a series of experiments involving photography demonstrating that water affected by thoughts and affirmations changes its crystalline structure.
If simple water changes in response to our thoughts and words, imagine the transformational power available to us through consciously programmed water that we drink: EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.
"Unless a man be born of water and the Spirit, he can not come into the Kingdom of the Holy One."
~ John 3:5
It's hard to change our habits, and it's even harder to change our thoughts and ourselves. Any change requires significant effort and relentless practice. But our livelihood depends on drinking water. It's not a simple desire or habit; it's a necessity that must be fulfilled daily.
Drinking i'MAGiNT-quality infused water becomes an effortless mind-body-heart-and-soul training tool that can radically change our selves, our thoughts, actions, and lives.
ST. FRANCIS AND i'MAGiNT LiFE
One day I was in a meeting with a director of the local interfaith community center explaining how i'MAGiNT LiFE transforms people's lives. But it seemed as if my explanation of i'MAGiNT LiFE's power of transformation wasn't reaching the mind and heart of the director. Suddenly the meeting was interrupted, and the director had to leave the room. While waiting for her return, I noticed an open book on the table in front of me. So, I did what anyone would do -- read. The book was open on the page with a beautifully illustrated Peace prayer attributed to St. Francis of Assisi. To my astonishment, these words perfectly expressed what I tried to impart to the director. Upon her return, with bated breath, I was pointing to the book: “This! This is what i’MAGiNT LiFE is all about!”
This prayer has since become an iconic invocation prayer for i’MAGiNT LiFE.
But this was only the beginning! A year and a half later, I discovered that not only was Wayne Dyer considered an incarnation of St. Francis, but St. Francis left the earthly realm on October 3, 1226, exactly 790 years before i’MAGiNT LiFE was born!
CO-MISSION
The connection between i’MAGiNT LiFE and St. Francis inspired my husband and me to turn our honeymoon into a pilgrimage to Assisi, Italy. Both of us felt that we were guided to go there and learn what we could about St. Francis. And what started out as a tribute to the venerable saint quickly turned into an unexpected discovery when our private tour guide invited us to the small church that wasn’t directly related to St. Francis, hence not on the radar of numerous tourists.
Inside the church was an unusual art installation: 33 i’MAGiNT LiFE-like glass bottles suspended in the air, each containing “Holy Mother Spirit” as if specifically waiting for my arrival and readiness to receive my co-Mission to bring this knowledge to the world.
It took another three+ years until I realized how this would be done.
And Now...
I am calling upon alchemists and visionaries who are seeking to impact our world to come together as authentic souls for 45 days to grow in self-mastery, connect, collaborate, and inspire each other and others not by reciting a prayer but by living it as an embodiment of it in our world. So that we can do something that’s never been done before: shed old beliefs and conditioning and unite under the banner of St. Francis's qualities rather than the roles and labels assigned by institutions, so that we can experience ourselves as an expression of these qualities in different forms, regardless of age, gender, religion, culture, education, or social status, restore equality and peace in our struggling world and increase quality in every aspect of our lives.
How Are We Going To Do That?
Community
Upon registering for our 45-Day Spirit Quest, you'll join our vibrant, private community. This is where the magic unfolds. It's a space to connect with like-minded participants, share insights, learn from others, and support each other. We encourage you to bring your family, friends, co-workers, and clients along on this Quest and experience the magic of transformation within your personal community.
Inspiration
Every five days, one of our inspiring guest teachers, coaches, and speakers will share their stories, inspire contemplation, and lead through the experience of one of the qualities of the St. Francis Peace Prayer streaming live on Zoom.
Embodiment
Every five days, you will download a new St. Francis i'MAGiNT quality to print and use as a coaster, upon which you'll infuse your drinking water. Each day, an I'MAGiNT LiFE Certified Teacher will go live to set the intention for the day and answer your questions. All you'll nee do is tune in for a few minutes each day and drink your water while holding the intention of the quality.
