“This event aims to unite diverse individuals in open dialogue about the role of love in fostering understanding and harmony in today’s world,” she said.
“That’s really what this world needs more than anything these days, is love,” she added.
Daras said the workshop, being held Saturday, Feb. 10 at the Active Lifestyle Center, at 20 Merritt Ave. in Chatham, will begin with a short presentation to talk about the four different types of love in the Bahai writings.
There will be different quotes from writings, in general, about love that will include questions for people to discuss.

“It’s very interactive for both men and women,” Daras said.
Knowing some people are shy and would rather just observe, she said that’s fine, too.
People don’t need to register, just show up if they are interested, Daras said.
In the tradition of First Nations people, she said the workshop will involve everyone sitting in a circle “to help everyone feel comfortable.”
Daras said the focus of the workshop is discussing love, not recruiting people to the Bahai faith.
“There’s no proselytizing in the Bahai faith,” Daras said.
