LGBTQ+ Satsang: Journey to India with Kristin Vander Linde

Join satsang member Kristin Vander Linde as she reflects on her recent pilgrimage through India, a journey made possible by the Grace of Maharaj-ji. Kristin will share photos, songs and stories from the road, observations from the heart, insights from the path, and everything in between.

A spirited gathering honoring our queer fellowship community, this event will include Q&A, a centering exercise, and kirtan.

Kristin Vander Linde has been in the practice of traveling the world her whole life. She has experienced a variety of countries and cultures in the USA and abroad, and has been traveling solo for the past 9 years. She has been living in meditation centers, ashrams, and intentional communities since 2015. In 2020, she became connected to Ram Dass, and then with Neem Karoli Baba, known simply as Maharajji. Maharajji called her to fly to North India in 2022, following in the footsteps of Ram Dass. By His Grace, the journey has been full of growth and has led her deeper into her heart than she ever knew possible.

For those who identify as LGBTQ+.
