Hello!
My name is Joanna and I live near to Philadelphia, PA, the land of the Lenape.
I learned about Ram Dass from a coworker in the 1980ās.
At Omega Institute, I spent a weekend chanting with him in the late 1980s.

Hi everyone. This is Kathy from Kentucky, USA. I first read Be Here Now around 1973, during a period of exploration into meditation, and over many years I have watched videos of Ram Dass talks and conversations. I see this workshop as an opportunity to renew my practices, but I am open to whatever new things I can learn. Thanks to those who contribute to this event.

Hello! Iām Lisa from San Rafael, CA. So grateful to embark on this course! Anytime is a good time to re/connect with self/spirituality/other but this point in time is especially great for me as Iām in a life transition and also struggling with overwhelm of the material world and these challenging times.
I have deeply connected with different spiritual paths in the past and have had a tendency to immerse, learn, internalize, then go back into material world participation until I get overwhelmed and need to return to spiritual focus.
I first found Ram Dass teachings and Be Here Now in the mid 1980ās after I moved to Northern California, when I was connecting to psychedelic culture.
I hope to reconnect to my spirituality through this course and practice in a more balanced, sustainable way as I embark on a new life stage. This feels like a great opportunity to do better! Thank you!

Hi! Sandy living near Rockford, Illinois. Iāve had the Be Here Now book for 4ish years. Read the intro and some of the brown pages. Listened to the Maui gathering at the end of 2022 and felt connected. Have taken a class or two with Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach. Looking forward to deepening my meditation practice in life.

Hi I am Kris from Omaha NE. While searching the bookshelves for a book to tell me how to cope with and/or treat my fatherās rare cancer, a fellow seeker mentioned to me I might want to read āon Fearā by Jiddu Krishnamurti. I read nearly everything I could find and then added Pema Chodron ā¦ā¦ and came to see the role fear played in my life. From there, it is was one discovery after another ā¦ā¦ my intention is to move from reading to more consistent practice. Iāve listened to Jack Kornfield tell wonderful stories of Ram Dass so I am looking forward to learning more and being part of something so delightful as it unfolds over the next three weeks.

Hello Hello, my name is Matu and I am from Melbourne, Australia.
I heard the name Ram Dass on and off over many years and it wasnāt until his name popped up in a meditation one morning that I investigated who he was.
Sadly I discovered his teachings after his transition but bought his book (Be Here Now) and watched his teachings on Gaia TV. All of which I connected with deeply.
So here I am exploring and poking around the Spiritual wilderness

Hi, Iām Mary Nelson from Charleston, SC. I first heard about Ram Das from my mom, who also introduced me to insight meditation- took me on a week long silent retreat (and I had never meditated before!). I have not read Be Here Now. My intention is to restart my meditation practice and be more mindful throughout the day.

Hi everyone, i currently live in Northern California, soon to relocate to Idaho. Iāve been drawn to hear / learn more from Ram Dass as this Satsang seems to be more inclusive of various spiritual traditions - which is very attractive to me. We are all on our own journeys and it seems like there are many ways our consciousness evolves as the Divine is revealed in our lives.
