Explorer’s Club: Spring Washam – Psychedelics, Meditation, and Loving Awareness
May 23 @ 5:00 pm - 6:15 pm PDT
A Ram Dass community exploring non-ordinary states of consciousness, (psychedelics), spirituality, and science.
Step into a realm of extraordinary – join these free community gatherings as we delve into pivotal movements within the psychedelic renaissance while paying homage to the enduring legacy of Ram Dass, a trailblazing icon in this field. Our gatherings will include, yet transcend, the conventional discourse on psychedelics as therapy and healing. In addition, we embark on explorations of expanded consciousness, guided by the themes of awe, transcendence, union, and beyond. Journey with us as we navigate psychedelics in the contexts of spirituality, science, and the creativity impulse – a key component for addressing the profound questions that shape both our personal journeys and the world at large. Through a blend of archival talks by Ram Dass, engaging interviews with contemporary visionaries in the field, live audience Q&A sessions, and group discussions, our gatherings serve as catalysts for mutual learning and growth. Join us on this transformative odyssey towards a deeper understanding and collective evolution.”

Hi there, thank you so much for scheduling these important meetings for all of us. I did register for this meeting, but missed the timing and didn’t get online while it was playing. Is it possible that you guys recorded for those who registered? And if so, can you share the location of the recording with us please? Thank you all so much for all you are doing for all of us.
Hi Dawn, this event (that you’ve commented on) isn’t taking place until May 23rd. We are not recording the sessions for replay, so hopefully you can make it to this one! We only held one so far and just launched this group 🙂 If you have any other specific questions, feel free to email [email protected]
Thanks!
