“Now, I’ve done this, being with my father once a month now, for several years, because I said to myself, ‘Look, you have to honor your incarnation. And one of the aspects of your incarnation is that you are your father’s son.’ And even though, on some level, that seems kind of funny, it happens to be part of what it’s about. Just like I have to honor the fact that I am an American. I have to pay my taxes. I have to do a lot of stuff. And this is one of the things, I must honor it. And then I have to figure out—what does it mean to honor it? What does it mean to honor it? What does it mean to honor parents?” – Ram Dass

Dear SoulPod Family,
As we move into the Thanksgiving holiday, we invite you to come together in sacred community under the light of Ram Dass’ teachings. Join us on Wednesday, November 26 at 3 pm ET | 12 pm PT for a special SoulPod Gathering to explore Episode 291: Honoring Parents & Honoring Our Incarnation.
This episode spans five decades of Ram Dass’ life—from the late 1960s through the 2010s—offering intimate stories about his mother and father, and deep reflections on what it means to honor the people and conditions of our incarnation.
It’s a beautiful and grounding conversation to sit with right before being with family, offering perspective, compassion, and a softer heart.
Why Join?
- Gathering together allows Ram Dass’ teachings to become lived experience. In community, we get to:
- Rest in loving awareness
- Reflect on family, lineage, and the dharma of incarnation
- Share stories and receive support before the holiday
- Keep these teachings alive through honest, heartfelt conversation
Episode Themes Include:
• The tender complexity of parent–child relationships
• Allowing others to open the door to deeper conversations
• Moments of intimacy born from not trying to “be someone”
• Honoring our incarnation as part of the spiritual path
• Becoming somebody before becoming nobody
• Seeing our parents as high souls, beyond the roles we’ve worn
When: Wednesday, November 26 | 3 pm ET | 12 pm PT
Episode: Here & Now – 291: Honoring Parents & Incarnation
Host: Jackie Dobrinska

With love and light,
Jackie
General Fellowship Mission Statement
The general fellowship is dedicated to building community and connections around the teachings of Ram Dass and Maharaji. It provides opportunities to gather together – virtually and in person – to share our experiences, inspirations, curiosities, and wisdom, recognizing that we are all on the path of learning together. We use the space to celebrate and consciously practice the teachings – loving each other exactly as we are, sharing our authenticity and truth with kindness, remembering God is always here and present, and feeding each other, as we are all hungry for something and we all have something to give. We meditate and chant together, listen to Ram Dass lectures, and discuss as a group.
Everyone is welcome.
