Aloha all - I am on the Hawaii Island (some call it the ‘Big’ Island). I’m a bit of a newbie, have tried to meditate regularly. Right now I’m into walking meditation, but I’m pretty sure I should do some sitting as well.
Mahalo,
Margy
P.S. For some reason I’m not able to watch the video of the Zoom class yesterday - the icon just keeps circling and circling. Maybe it’s my laptop that has issues?

Helloooo, i am so full of joy to be apart of the learning Ram Dass has created. over the past few months i have been listening consistently to Ram Dass, and somehow came across his teachings over the years.
my intention is to create a deeper listening from within as my guides speak and teach me.

Hi, my name is Matt. In 1971, a friend turned me on to “Be Here Now”. We hitch hiked across the US, from Indiana to California while visiting the yoga ashrams along the way. It was one of the most thrilling times of my life. I’m so excited now to be part of the Ram Dass community.

Hey, my name is Nina and I am based in Berlin/Germany. I first heard about Ram Dass many years ago, but back then I have not been into psychedelics nore into spirituality. Ram Dass has been just someone I’ve heard of, who seemed to be a wise and funny person.
After life altering trauma in 2021, I started working with plant medicine and started researching teachers, including Ram Dass. I’ve listened to and thoroughly enjoyed all of his audio recordings. However, I haven’t read the book yet (I just found a copy of “Be Here Now” on Berlin’s Craig’s List ! ).
My intention for this course is connecting with like minded people from all over the world, learning more about the community around Ram Dass, developping further a daily practice of meditation and awareness.
Thank you for hosting this course, really glad to be part of it!
P.S.
I’d actually be interested in a Ram Dass Tshirt. I remember @Jacquelyn_LSRF mentioned something about it at the beginning of the first zoom call. Do you send them to Geemany as well?

Hello. My name is Dom from the UK. I’ve had varying degrees of success with meditation over the years so need all the encouragement I can find to be consistent with it. I gave up a daily weed and tobacco habit just a week ago so really appreciating new and positive things to do with all this extra time I have. My habit was 25 years of self medication due to an artistically inclined persons hypersensitivity and ADHD tendencies. So thank you for this, perfect timing! Love to you all

Hi everyone, my name is Harmony, and I am from the Chicago area in the USA. I first discovered Ram Dass five years ago, after I had gone on a trip to India. My Mom was a huge Beatles fan, and this is what drew me to wanting to go to Rishikesh. I am not fully sure where I found out about Ram Dass, but it may have been due to the studies he did with Tim Leary. I also am in school for psychology and have had a similar experience to Ram Dass, so naturally, I found all of this interesting and super connected. Looking forward to deepening my connection with spirit and fellow like-minded individuals on a similar path and journey .

Hi, Rikke from Norway.
Excited to be here (now) with you.
Loving the course so far, very thankful that you are offering this up to all of us.
My intention is to dual. 1) come back to a regular dailiy practice beyond my asana practice after becoming a mom (with less time) and
2) broaden my perception of spiritual practice equals ´being with myself´, so we too as a family can have our practice together (in some shape or form)
Much love

I consider Ram Dass one of my favorite and most meaningful teachers. Look forward to whatever this course may bring.
