In this day an age, with all the commuting, computers and catastrophe – it’s great to take some time out of your everyday routine and just relax. Being spiritual isn’t all crystals and whale music, it can be about surrounding yourself with nature, contemplation and meditation. So whilst you’re trying to get to know your inner self, why not try getting to know others too, with our spiritual date ideas…

1. Take me to church

Visit a holy place together. This does not necessarily need to be a church, mosque or synagogue, it can be anywhere that is peaceful and serene. You can talk or walk around in a completely relaxed atmosphere. Marveling at any old architecture provides great talking points too. If you want to get all deep and meaningful with your date, you can even use this as an excuse to ask them about their deep set beliefs, and see if their compatible with yours.

2. Yoganna love this

Nothing is more relaxing than Yoga, and it’s great for you too! You can either attend a class as individuals, or attend couples yoga. Breathe and move together as one, or if you’re anything like us, laugh awkwardly together about all the weird poses you have to do in front of strangers. The benefits are said to be endless, but couples yoga promises improved levels of communication, deeper expressions of postures and encouragement of trust. Don’t believe us? Prove us wrong and try a couples Yoga date!

3. Strike a pose

Downward dog not your cup of tea? There is an alternative that has just as many health benefits and is just as chilled out – Tai Chi. It combines deep breathing and relaxation with slow and gentle movements. You don’t have to be as bendy, and you can even take an outdoor class together (weather permitting).

4. Let your love grow

Give back to the world by planting a tree together. Not only are you helping the environment, but you will also feel like you are investing in your future (without doing anything legally binding). As you grow as a couple the tree will grow, and it’ll also be a place you can go together.

… And exhale. We don’t know about you, but we feel more de-stressed already. So go on, take the stress out of dating and try to connect with your partner more. If you want to find a kindred spirit – join Just Spiritual Singles today!
