Michaiel Patrick Bovenes invites us on a spiritual journey to reconnect with our “Capital S” Self — the soul’s eternal essence — instead of staying trapped in ego-driven identities shaped by society. He explains that true spirituality isn’t about rituals or rigid beliefs, but about cultivating an authentic, living relationship with the divine energy that flows through us, around us, and beyond us. By integrating our inner masculine (willpower, clarity) and feminine (feeling, imagination) energies, we come into wholeness, which fosters deeper peace, creativity, and truth. Michaiel shares that feelings of isolation are often rooted in our minds and can begin to dissolve through a shift in consciousness — by being open, curious, humble, and genuinely appreciative of others.

Michaiel also touches on how love, even when unnoticed or unreturned, never goes to waste — its energy contributes to healing both personally and collectively. He shares a touching personal story of grief that underscores the importance of expressing love and gratitude now, not later. Especially for LGBTQI individuals who may struggle with isolation, Michaiel emphasizes the healing power of community built through small acts of presence and connection. His message is both practical and soulful: we are all divine beings here to help one another come home — to ourselves and to each other.
