Part of what I see as tools for transformation has to do with honoring what you are as an instrument for transformation – and that has to do with the mind and the heart and the skills. 
 
Hearing what in my business would be called your unique dharma, or your unique manifestation in the game. Also, then learning how to do it as ‘the Bhagavad Gita’ says, by not being identified with being the actor behind what you are doing, and not being attached to the fruits of the actions. Doing it free of those things, where you’re doing it because it’s your part in the dance… 
 
“I’ll do what I can to relieve suffering. I’ll do what I can to preserve the environment, sustainably. I’ll do what I can to bring about justice to the world.” 
 
Whether there is justice or the environment gets sustained, or there is an end to suffering, that is not really my business. It would be chutzpah and presumption for me to think it was. There are just too many variables involved in that. I learned from the East the idea of doing impeccable dharma. That is, doing your thing as well as you can. I mean, when I give lectures or write a book or do whatever I do, or sit with a dying person… the game is to do that as cleanly and as fully consciously, and as equanimous as I can. 
 
The next part of this is how it comes out. This is about identification with yourself as the actor because if you’re identifying as an actor, like most activists, you burn out immediately because you’re working, and then there’s more to do and you’re working harder and harder. You end up feeling exhausted and burned out. 
 
It’s creating space where you can do the actions without getting trapped in being the actor. Just like your heart is beating – but you’re not beating your heart.

Heartfulness comes from practices that cultivate, nourish, and uplift the incredible force inside of you called loving awareness.

And once you can hold yourself and all parts of your beautiful humanness with care, compassion, and loving awareness, not only will your life become more joyful, but you will also have more understanding for others in your life.

In this 4-week course, you will follow Ram Dass’ example of employing wisdom and experiences from Bhakti, secular, and inter-spiritual traditions that can uplift your heart’s ability to include all of life without succumbing to the voice of the critic.

People say, “What should I do with my life?” The more interesting question is, “How do I cultivate the quietness of my being, where what I should do with my life becomes apparent?” - Ram Dass
