“America’s Soul Doctor with Ken Unger” and similar random podcasts

Ken Unger didn’t set out to become America’s Soul Doctor. By the age of thirty he had been a pastor for five years and a husband for three and he was burning out on both. That’s when a spiritual retreat transformed his life forever. A profoundly nurturing community of genuine love and healing showed him how much lives could be helped in a short period of time. Experiential exercises, vulnerable authentic teachers and deep, intimate relationships transformed him in ways that prescription drugs, education and traditional counseling never could.

When he got home, people asked him to offer similar retreats for friends and colleagues. He never imagined the powerful impact his retreats made on virtually everyone who attended. Now, almost 30 years later, he still offers life-changing Retreats to any who want to “transform their life in a weekend.” People who attend have likened them to a health spa for the soul.

As he progressed on his own spiritual growth and healing journey his Retreats also evolved. To the basic Spiritual Growth Retreat he added a Becoming Childlike Retreat, an Inner Journey Retreat and in recent years a Spiritual Healing Retreat. Each level goes deeper into the psyche; each produces wonderful changes in virtually all who attend. Therapists say they are worth a year in therapy.

As Ken learned to heal the psychic pain that almost destroyed his own life, people sought him out for their own personal healing. This birthed his amazing healing process known as STEP Therapy, Spiritual Therapy for Emotional Pain. His new book The Ultimate Breakthrough explains this simple, gentle, yet powerful healing process. Instead of treating symptoms in endless months and years of emotional archeological digs it heals the primal pain that fuels most of our problems.

When clients wanted to treat depression without drugs, he developed Seminars like Peace without Prozac. To train businesses for better interpersonal skills, he designed Improving Your Emotional IQ. As relationships crumbled he designed Metamorphosis to teach people the skills that make relationships thrive. When companies struggled with dysfunction in the workplace, he started the Healed at Work Conferences.

Perhaps what has most rewarding is the many people Ken talks to many years after attending his events who tell him they were a true watershed in their own spiritual growth, healing and development that five, ten, 20 years later they are still different as a result of one retreat or seminar.
