Dinner and Divinity - Sunday, July 11th - Yoga and Meditation

Last week, D&D took a beautiful step forward. For the first time in it's 16 months of community building efforts, D&D was hosted outside the confines of our cozy little one-bedroom apartment. It was instead hosted at someone else's "cozy little one-bedroom apartment." :) Not only did it take place at a new location, but it did so under the support of a courageous group of loving souls, who provided the food, space, friends, music, art and divinity for the gathering. As Tanja and I left for California, we left Dinner and Divinity behind, knowing it had matured and had found roots in the people and community upon which it had been founded. Although we could not attend the gathering in person, it remained in our minds and spirits as we cruised up the California coast.

Sunday's D&D was unifying and uplifting as always. Here are what two participants said about the gathering:

• It was a "very good D&D last night full of music, great company, plenty of spirituality, and good food."
• It had "some music, some readings, some food, some art, some meditation...lots of love!"

As the comments above show, D&D encompasses much yet is founded on a very simple premise: "Let's build a stronger community, one potluck at a time and let's engage the arts and reflect on our spiritual nature." It is hosted with openness, love and hospitality. Strangers become friends, hearts leave a little lighter - and a lot happier.

Dinner and Divinity's next gathering will be Saturday, July 24th at 7pm. Hope you can make it!
