Join us for a retreat inspired by Ram Dass’s book Grist for the Mill, where teachings and practices transform everyday life challenges into opportunities for self-transformation. This gathering invites you to deepen into teachings and practices designed to help strengthen understanding, compassion, and resilience. Together, we’ll honor Ram Dass’s legacy of turning life’s experiences into moments for growth, helping you embrace all moments – the good and the bad – as paths to inner freedom and connection.

Streamed live from our annual retreat on Maui with replay opportunities + online community, you will dive into:

  • Chanting and workshops with Krishna Das and his band
  • Buddhist teachings, Dharma talks and practice time with Jack Kornfield, Trudy Goodman, Mirabai Bush, Rameshwar Das and Duncan Trussell
  • Interfaith and Mystical explorations with Mirabai Starr
  • Explorations of the Ramayana with Nina Rao
  • A live Mindrolling podcast with Raghu Markus & Duncan Trussell
  • And Ram Dass audio teachings that weave Ram Dass’s legacy and teachings into our retreat experience even though his physical body is no longer with us.

This virtual retreat promises 20 hours of high quality, LIVE video sessions over four days, and for those of you who cannot make it to Maui this year, this is a great opportunity to participate in the community and immerse yourself in the same teachings as the in-person attendees.

PLUS: When you sign up, you will have access to a Community Facebook Group where you can connect with other virtual retreat attendees, make friends, and share your experiences around the teachings.

“Total honesty with ourselves, total honesty. If we make a mistake, admit it and get on with it. The whole spiritual journey is a continuous act of falling on our faces. And we get up, brush ourselves off and get on with it. If we were perfect, we wouldn’t even go on a journey. We can’t be afraid of making errors.”
