Ken was a board member of MindUp, the signature programme founded by The Goldie Hawn Foundation.
MindUp started in 2003 and works to "help children develop the mental fitness necessary to thrive in school and throughout their lives".
Goldie is incredibly involved in her charity and had been sharing regular videos of herself meditating around the house during lockdown to promote the MindUp initiative.
Last week, it was announced that the signature programme would be starting registration for its new series of virtual mindfulness events, which Goldie would be taking part in online.
