Hi everyone! Sending love and peace from Birmingham, England I was introduced to Ram Dass by a friend many years ago and have listened to his talks nearly every day since. I’ve also read through Be Here Now a couple times and then dip in and out of it whenever I feel the pull I’m here because I would like to continue to deepen my practice and better hear that still small voice within And hopefully meet some new people too! Looking forward to getting started
Hi fellow adventurers. My name is Ray from San Diego, CA. I very excited to join this new conscientiousness venture. I have known about Ram Dass through my various educational pursuits, especially in my early years understanding the art of Yoga and Eastern philosophy shared with me as a child. Wonderful to be with you all.
Hello hello! Luke from Nashville here.
Stumbled across Be Here Now a few years ago and it was very eye opening for me. I’ve really loved listening to RD’s teachings and taking some of these courses since then. Lately though, I’ve fallen out of my practice and feel a bit disconnected, so I’m so grateful for the timing of course and to be here with you all NOW!
Looking forward to it. Thanks @Jacquelyn_LSRF as always for facilitating!
Namaste
Hi everyone, I am Lori from Stamford, CT. I have not read Be Here Now, but I did read Being Ram Dass. I’ve been following ever since and looking forward to reading Be Here Now and others, and connecting and growing with like minded people on this journey.
Hello Friends,
Annie Karuna originally from Massachusetts, now in San Francisco where I’ve lived since the mid-80’s. Though I know I’d heard of Ram Dass prior to my arrival, my first conscious recollection was when I was in Berkely laying in my friend’s bed and there was a copy of “Be Here Now” on the floor! I picked it up and connected deeply and I’ve continued with that connection with some coming and going since. At the time in my life, with the collective experience on our Earth, I feel that conditions abound to come closer to what feels like possible liberation, rather than just disturbing. Liberation is hard and I’m doing my best to emesh myself in practice, company that supports my emerging light.
A loving bow of gratitude for this opportunity.
See you tomorrow!
Namaste! I am Dane, and I live in Ashland, OR.
I read Be here Now somewhere around 1970, but couldn’t tell you now what was in it, beyond the title. I’ve had some other exposure to Ram Das, and have always appreciated what he had to share.
My spiritual practice these days mainly centers around being with the Divine Presence, as I call it, and sending blessings to my family, friends, humanity and Mother Earth.
My intention here is to show up authentically, to deepen my practice, gain some insights and maybe a new friend or two.
Hi, I’m Sheri, I’m from Fl. I found Ram Das earlier last year, I have been reading and searching for more. I grew up in a very religious Christian home and it never made sense to me. I was never able to feel the connection. I actually found Ram Das through my love for Trevor Halls music. Listening to and practicing kirtan to Krishna Das and several others.
This is June from Kentucky. I’m looking forward to starting this course tomorrow—it’s only taken me about 50 years to get here! In 1974 a friend recommended I read Be Here Now. I guess I wasn’t ready then, but last year I mentioned that to a young co-worker and he promptly lent me his copy! It resonated deeply.
Hi! Karen here from Denver. Looking forward to the course starting tomorrow. Most recently read “Still Here” and LOVED it - re-awakened my interest in Ram Dass.
Aloooo!! I’m Queta, joining from Mexico City.
Love to weave together in this beautiful Satsang.
I was introduced to Ram Dass through my current Partner, I remember starting dating and him telling me about this book he was reading “Be Here Now” … I immediately wanted to know more about it! That was the bridge for me to find a beautiful being I consider a dear Teacher and a parallel universe I resonate with. Blessed to be joining. Thanks!!
Thank you Jacquelyn and the Ram Das team for pulling all this together. Fantastic to see everyone on this platform. I am Kevin living in Bangkok, Thailand - I am looking forward to continuing my learnings for my practice - gaining a better understanding of Karma Yoga and how Ram Das brings it all to life daily. My intention is to bring this karma yoga to my business. Kind thanks
Hi I an Nina from Germany (middle west)! I am very glad to have the opportunity of getting to dive in again. I haven’t read the books of ram das, but am listening to his lessons for some years now. I have found him in through kirtan and Krishna das and Sharon Salzburgs lessons. I am very grateful!
My intention is to get a new Start in Mediation practice. Because of my baby and a move, I have lost the routine… I am looking forward to begin again and reconnect with silence, quietness and calmness, like taking a bath in it and take that feeling with me all day:)
Hello, my name is Karen and I live in Brittany, France. I’ve joined this community as I have loved listening to the heart beat of Ram Dass’s music over the years. It resonates. My intension is to listen and learn, explore and connect. Thank you for providing this opportunity.
Hello! I´m Julieta from Argentina. So glad to be joining this awesome community.
Hi! I’m Thule in Houston, TX. I’ve been receiving teachings from Ram Dass since March 2018 after reading Be Here Now on an airplane from California to Texas. Nothing has been the same since. I’m happy to be here, now, taking this course.
Namaste, I am Sueanne, I currently live in Wisconsin. I have been on my spiritual path for over 35 years, i refer to it as my " Freedom Journey ". I have had the privilege of hearing Ram Das speak on several occasions over the years. For the past few month’s I have been blessed with an intense spiritual growth spurt ! Im excited once agin to learn from the wisdom of Ram Das and my fellow travelers.
I am from NY, have known about Ram Das since the early 70’s. Reading ‘Be Here Now’ has changed my life.
I seek inner change as well as collective change.
Do yoga/ meditate, hike in local woods, write poetry/ play piano…For joy and well- being.
Thanks for the opportunity! Namaste!
I am happy to be here.
I live in the Kennett Square area and have been trying to get together with the local Ram Dass Satsang, but haven’t made it yet!
Hello, I am Kevin from England. Feeling very grateful for the opportunity to develop my spiritual growth, deepen my learning and be part of this community
Good morning. I am Paula and live in Eureka Springs, Ar, a beautiful little village in the Ozarks. I will be 75 in a couple of weeks. This course is my birthday gift to myself. I read Be Here Now decades ago. And saw Ram Dass in Kansas City, also decades ago. His wisdom has been a guide. It will be great to have a refresher, especially at this time on our planet.
