We have many spiritual singles here on EcoDater and wanted to post an article just for you. More and more, we are realizing that spirituality and religion do not go hand in hand, and that it is possible to live a spiritual life without any kind of religious involvement. Spirituality is available to anyone, has no limits or boundaries, and can be experienced at any moment, in any space.
Spirituality is a personal path, one that can take many years and many experiences to discover, and can be further enhanced when shared with someone special. Try these spiritual date ideas and let us know what works for you.
Nature Walks
For many spiritual singles, the best place to reconnect with a spiritual path is in the deep folds of unadulterated nature, as it has existed for millions of years. There is something timeless about wandering through a mountainous forest or along a secluded beach, where the only sounds are from natural elements. For those of us who live in the urban environment, it can take awhile to find pure nature, but the trip provides you and your date a great opportunity to get to know each other better.
Dancing
Letting the ego release through dance can be an incredibly spiritual experience. So much of music is created to move people, both physically and spiritually, and it takes so many forms that anyone can find the music that moves him or her. It could be in an underground electronic dance club, or at an outdoor concert, or a folk music festival in town, or even just listening to someone playing guitar. Let music be your spiritual guide!
Spiritual Food
A meal made with love and intention can lead to a spiritual experience, as the food nourishes your body and soul. Imagine a sunset picnic with organic wine, home-made cheeses and breads, some fresh garden vegetables and fruits, and being completely immersed in the moment with your date - the synergy between the elements of this moment are sure to let your soul fly free.
Meditation
Sometimes, the most effective communication between two people are when no words are exchanged. If you feel comfortable with each other, try meditating together side by side and enjoy the silent energy of each other. If you feel especially comfortable, meditate toward each other, and exchange energy on a level much deeper than one found in a vocal conversation.
Drugs
While we are not here to pass judgment on drug use, there is no questioning that certain drugs taken by certain people at certain times can lead to some of the most intense spiritual experiences available to us. When everything is just right, responsible drug use can bring two people so close together that they can feel as one, their egos and body boundaries evaporated in the spiritual intensity of the moment.
Gatherings
When people of open and like mind come together to celebrate something, the energy from that gathering is enough to bring a spiritual experience much closer to each participant's grasp. Take your date to a Zen retreat or a music festival or an annual gathering like Burning Man or Symbiosis and let the aspect of community allow the two of you to bond on a spiritual level.
