Co-founder and co-spiritual director of Spiritual Arts Institute, Dimitri has been instrumental in bringing Spiritual Arts Institute to the place it is today as a premier metaphysical school. With Barbara, he is co-author of the international bestseller Change Your Aura, Change Your Life, Communing with the Divine, Karma and Reincarnation, The Healing Power of Your Aura and their newest book Heaven and Your Spiritual Evolution(release date, October 2021). He is an eloquent speaker on a wide variety of spiritual topics, has lectured across the country, appeared on numerous radio shows and leads the workshops and training classes offered at the Institute with Barbara.

Originally trained in motion pictures and television, Dimitri was pursuing a promising career in directing and producing, having received an Academy Award nomination for his film short Don’t Let It Bother You. When he was twenty-five, Dimitri had a profound spiritual awakening that changed his life. About a year later, he met Barbara at a dinner party and knew that night Barbara was the spiritual teacher he had to study with.

Barbara trained Dimitri in metaphysics as well as getting him involved in her spiritual mission. Following the mystery school lineage tradition, Barbara saw in him the person who was meant to help her bring the Kingdom of Light Teachings to the world and lead the spiritual mission beyond her tenure. Dimitri realized this was his spiritual purpose and redirected his life’s work to pursue the path of metaphysics.

Years later, Barbara and Dimitri broke new ground with the publication of Change Your Aura Change Your Life, first in a series of mystical writings. This led to their founding Spiritual Arts Institute and Dimitri becoming a spiritual teacher. At first supporting the encyclopedic wisdom of Barbara, now through his own spiritual connection, Dimitri is an illumined teacher contributing new inspiration to the spiritual wisdom in books, workshops and course materials.

Hi! My name is Katie. I grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia then spent time living in Nashville and Los Angeles, and am now based in Sun Valley, Idaho. My mom says I started humming in the car before I could even talk, so using my voice has come naturally to me forever.

I moved to Nashville in 2014 to attend Belmont University for Songwriting. During that time, I placed as a finalist in the ASCAP Writers Showcase and released my first EP, placed as a finalist in the 2016 American Songwriting Awards with my song "Painted Hearts", and played Unify Fest in 2016 with Trevor Hall and Mike Love. I got to play at the world famous Bluebird Cafe and then released my first full-length album “Something Different” in 2017. I’ve traveled across the country sharing my music and have had the privilege of opening for some really cool artists like John Paul White of The Civil Wars and Nicholas Petricca of Walk the Moon. More recently, my song “Honey” with The Motel Brothers just hit 17 million streams on Spotify.

A few years ago I went viral for my videos of me singing to farm animals. I started posting them to share how animals react to music, and in the process discovered that millions of people also found joy in those moments. Animals have always been my second passion and so to combine my two loves in this way has been so fun.

Currently, I live in Sun Valley, Idaho, playing music at the Sun Valley Ski Resort twice weekly. I’m working on my second album, expected summer 2024, and can’t wait to share my new music!

You can find all my releases on all streaming and digital platforms.
