Conducted by Internationally Renowned Author and Spiritual Teacher Dimitri Moraitis Join our monthly fellowship as we share metaphysical insights from the Divine on a variety of topics and current affairs. This month, Dimitri will explore the spiritual foundations of romance and marriage in today’s dynamic world. Genuine romantic love between two people is one of the most beautiful expressions of God’s eternal love. Through romantic love, we learn about giving and receiving, affection and tenderness, fidelity, and trust. Many things can bring souls together in marriage including love, karma and divine purpose. What we think of romantic love is really a tool to learn and grow. While dynamics of modern romance and married life have changed, as they do through every generation, the foundations remain constant. More than ever, the spiritual roots of marriage needs to be reaffirmed and strengthened for society to grow and prosper. Meditations with Divine Light, world prayers and music will be part of the fellowship. There has never been a better time to pursue your soul’s growth. We welcome you in the great spiritual adventure! “Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction.” -- Barbara Martin & Dimitri Moraitis DIMITRI MORAITIS is cofounder and spiritual director of the renowned Spiritual Arts Institute.
