Marti met DJ Drez shortly after high school\, when they began performing and recording together. Over two decades\, their collaboration has become an intimate musical language that effortlessly translates into and between many styles of music\, including hip hop\, reggae\, kirtan\, jazz and soul. \nDJ Drez transforms the vibe of any scene his sound is set upon. Rooted in underground L.A. hip-hop\, Drez applies precise turn-table skills to a cutting-edge vision for truly universal music\, integrating elements of hip-hop\, world music\, soul\, funk\, jazz\, and reggae into his trademark sound and production. \nIndia is suffering from a devastating Covid crisis\, and we encourage our community to help to provide oxygen and other lifesaving supplies to those in urgent need by donating here.

SUMMARY:BIPOC Fellowship Satsang

SUMMARY:The Power of Yin: A Live Event with Jamie Catto
DESCRIPTION: \n“Jamie and I are like-minded souls. I appreciate the truth of his reflections.” – Ram Dass\nJamie’s mission is to make self-reflection hip enough to save us from ourselves. We believe that by collectively acknowledging our insanity and our deepest darkest shadows\, we can learn how to work with it to tackle global crisis’ by channeling our energy into action for the world rather than using it all up on fighting ourselves. In doing so\, we give each other permission to let our masks fall and focus on what’s really important. \nWhen looking at the Power of Yin we turn to gentle tools to allay our overworking imaginations\, a light playfulness to retain the aura of quietude\, and a sweet acquiesce to the waves of life. We learn how to forge our paths through the forest of worry and anxiety\, out into the vista of peace\, And we learn to conciliate our misguided egos in order to embody peace for the world. \nAbout Jamie\nJamie Catto is the director of the 2019 film Becoming Nobody\, the quintessential portal to Ram Dass’s life and teachings. He is an author and musician running transformational workshops and events to reclaim all the treasure we edited away into the shadows and facilitate everyone daring to be more real\, more fallible\, more tender\, more intimate. \nHis mission is to create a world full of ‘walking permission slips’ where we all lighten up and enjoy the unpredictable human path together with humor\, playfulness\, and a healthy dose of irreverence. Jamie’s workshops and 1-1s provide a refreshing approach to inner work with the right dose of playfulness and depth.

SUMMARY:INDIA-FRIENDLY TIMING: 'Darshana: Indian Philosophy\, Ancient Texts and Western Perspectives'
DESCRIPTION:RE-WATCH AVAILABLE BELOW\nThis event took place at 6 pm IST on August 5\, 2021\nEver wondered how different Philosophy is in western theory and Indian practice? Indian philosophy is rooted in pragmatism and the pursuit of truth and reasoning as compared to the intellectual inquiry of modern western philosophy. Join us for a discussion around Indian Philosophy and books like The Bhagavad Gita and the threads of these in Western philosophy and culture. This session is presented in conjunction with the recently launched book Finding Meaning in Life with the Bhagavad Gita. \n \n\nShaunaka Rishi Das is the Director of the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies (OCHS)\, a position he has held since the Centre’s foundation in 1997. He is a Hindu cleric\, a lecturer\, a broadcaster\, and Hindu Chaplain to Oxford University. Education\, comparative theology\, communication\, and leadership are his main fields of interest. As Director of the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies he maintains the vision and ethos of the OCHS and encourages the Centre’s continued growth and development in all spheres. In this role\, he oversaw the formal recognition of the OCHS by Oxford University in 2006 and developed the Centre’s publishing partnerships with Oxford University Press\, Journal of Hindu Studies\, and the Routledge Hindu Studies Series. He has also been responsible for forging formal relationships between the OCHS and Universities in the USA\, Europe\, India\, and China. He is the first Hindu Chaplain to Oxford University in its 800-year history. \n  \n  \nRameshwar Das is a writer and photographer who met Ram Dass in 1967. He is the co-author of Being Ram Dass\, a memoir from spiritual teacher and cultural icon\, Ram Dass. Born Richard Alpert\, Ram Dass was a prominent Harvard psychology professor who partnered with Timothy Leary in psychedelic research\, and later traveled to India and met his guru\, Neem Karoli Baba. Upon returning to the US with his new name\, which means “servant of God\,” Ram Dass became a pivotal influence on the culture with his groundbreaking book Be Here Now—a backpacker’s bible for a generation of spiritual seekers. In Being Ram Dass\, America’s best-known and beloved spiritual teacher\, Ram Dass\, shares his life story set against the backdrop of eight decades of cultural transformation. Ramesh was inspired to go to India and was given the name Rameshwar Das by Neem Karoli Baba. Ramesh has collaborated with Ram Dass on many projects-as coauthor of Be Love Now and Polishing the Mirror. \n  \nNeema Majmudar has a Master’s Degree in International Affairs from the School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA)\, Columbia University\, New York. She has studied the Upanishads\, the Bhagavad Gita\, and Sanskrit with renowned Vedanta scholar\, teacher and visionary Swami Dayananda Saraswati at Arsha Vidya Gurukulam\, Tamil Nadu\, India. She has worked for almost twenty years at the United Nations in the areas of economic and social development in New York\, Bangkok and the Fiji Islands\, before becoming a full-time teacher of Vedanta and the Gita in India and across the world. Neema and her husband Surya Tahora conduct regular workshops and retreats on Vedanta at several locations in India\, Germany\, France\, Belgium\, and South East Asia. Along with Surya\, she has co-authored the book ‘Living the Vision of Oneness’. Their book\, programs\, and YouTube videos are available at: https://discovervedanta.com. Neema has over 200 students attending her classes every week\, from Mumbai and around the world on Zoom. After 20 years of teaching the Gita to hundreds of students from diverse countries and backgrounds\, through classes – online and live\, residential retreats and workshops\, Neema Majmudar has a unique understanding of peoples’ dilemmas and habitual mindsets. She has witnessed first-hand how the teachings of the Gita echo with people around the world and transform their approach to life. Hers is a strong connection with both the teachings and those it has benefitted. She brings this insight to a mass audience through this book\, written under her guidance with her students\, Nandini and Saloni.

SUMMARY:"Free to Know our Worth" - A Live Event with SIMRIT
DESCRIPTION:STREAM THE EVENT BELOW\n \nWhen we are intimate with the part of ourselves that never dies\, genuine confidence emerges organically. It has nothing to do with our job title\, how we look\, how much money we make\, or how many friends we have. When genuine confidence emerges\, the transient insecurities we experience in life don’t have a stronghold on us\, and we experience a sense of satisfaction in our own skin.\nTranscending genres\, Simrit’s musical education is rich and diverse. From singing in the Orthodox church starting in grade school\, all the way through high school where she was studying vocals at the University of South Carolina with her childhood piano teacher…and then studying some with the classical Indian system of music. She is known for her voice reverberating a sound that is simultaneously ancient and fresh. Decades of study and experimentation with Kundalini yoga deepened Simrit’s relationship to the quantum technology of Naad Yoga (the ancient science of using sound to impact the brain’s neural pathways and chemicals\, eliciting altered states of reality); the effects of which influence her music. \nAlongside her band\, Simrit creates vibrationally powerful and healing music to impact both positive internal & external change. And she is a deep lover of Ram Dass. \nBe sure to check out Simrit’s track Guru Ram Dass on the newly released album Soul Land Music Vol. 1.

SUMMARY:Groundless and Boundless: Healing in Difficult Times with Ralph De La Rosa
DESCRIPTION: \nRam Dass taught that every moment is the perfect teacher. How is this possible when things are groundless – i.e. uncertain and constantly changing? How is this possible when we find ourselves anxious\, angry\, too tender\, or even working with big traumas? \nFortunately\, there is a way. A way to heal and thrive and even find joy in the most challenging of times – by uncovering the boundless qualities of the heart. \nJoin psychotherapist and author Ralph De La Rosa for an evening that will bring together the inner technologies of East and West. In blending processes native to both Tibetan Buddhism and Internal Family Systems therapy\, we will engage practices that slow down the mind\, open the heart of compassion\, and bring about clarity. \n\nRalph De La Rosa (he/they) is a teacher of human spirituality\, internationally published author\, and trauma-focused psychotherapist. Ralph began practicing meditation in 1996 when he first stumbled upon Ram Dass’s Cookbook for a Sacred Life in the back pages of Be Here Now. He was a student of Amma’s for 16 years\, has studied Buddhism since 2005\, and began teaching meditation in 2008. Ralph’s recent book\, Don’t Tell Me to Relax: Emotional Resilience in the Age of Rage\, Feels\, and Freak Outs (Shambhala Publications)was celebrated as one of the “Top 10 Books of 2020” by Mindful Magazine.

SUMMARY:Difficult Conversations and Identity
DESCRIPTION:The Black\, Indigenous\, and Person of Color Satsang have formed to help cultivate heart connection and allyship among people within the Ram Dass Community who identify as such. As an affinity group\, this BIPOC Satsang offers individuals with similar backgrounds who have historically been marginalized an opportunity to socialize\, share ideas and explore shared experiences \nAffinity groups are shown to be an integral part of creating an inclusive environment. Ram Dass said\, “We don’t try to deny or manipulate individual differences. We honor them\, in fact\, we seek them out—because we understand that before we undertake any serious social action\, we need a strong sense of who we are.” If you would like to learn more about the need for affinity groups and why we honor diversity within the unity\, please read this article by Ram Dass on Honoring Diversity within Unity. \nEach month has a different theme and topic. This month is “Difficult Conversations and Identity”. \nTo participate in this specific group\, you must identify as Black\, Indigenous\, or a Person of Color. If you do not\, please sign up for the general Satsang. \nCLICK HERE TO SIGN UP\, AND MAKE SURE TO SELECT “Black/ Indigenous/ People of Color/ World Majority” ON THE FORM UNDER “FELLOWSHIP GROUP OPTIONS”.\nOnce you sign up\, you’ll receive invitations and registration links for each monthly BIPOC Satsang event.

SUMMARY:Black\, Indeginous and People of Color Satsang - Monthly Topic: Helping
DESCRIPTION:Join in a loving community as we gather together for the Black\, Indigenous and People of Color Satsang.\nThis month we are exploring the topic of Helping.\nTo be of most service to others we must face our own doubts\, needs and resistances. Drawing on inspiration from the book How Can I Help? by Ram Dass and Paul Gorman\, we will share dialogue around the barriers to helping and how to be of the greatest service to humanity. We’ll discuss the way our learned models of the separate self and social conditioning have affected the way we give\, who we give to\, and how much we give. We’ll break down the basic inner obstacles that inhibit our caring instincts so as they rise to the surface we can bring them into the clear light of awareness to be of the highest and clearest service to others within our BIPOC community and beyond. \nThis fellowship is designed for folks who identify as Black\, Indigenous\, or People of Color to connect\, deepen and share. As an affinity group\, our hope is to create a safer space to explore unique and similar experiences and discuss needs outside of the general fellowship. To be a part\, you must identify as Black\, Indigenous\, or a Person of Color. \nCLICK HERE TO SIGN UP\, AND MAKE SURE TO SELECT “BIPOC” ON THE FORM UNDER “FELLOWSHIP GROUP OPTIONS”.\nOnce you’re registered\, you will receive monthly invitations and registration links for each BIPOC Satsang event. \nWe look forward to seeing you soon!

SUMMARY:Resonance\, Integration & Catharsis - A Livestream with John Forté
DESCRIPTION:REWATCH THE EVENT BELOW!\n\nJohn Forté is a Grammy-nominated recording artist\, a filmmaker\, and an activist\, who features the teachings of his spiritual guide\, Ram Dass on his new album\, Vessels\, Angels & Ancestors. Please join us as we explore our relationship to Ram Dass\, the man\, and his philosophy\, in four phases: \nI. Introduction\nII. Reception and Resonance\nIII. Integration\nIV. Catharsis \n \nJohn Forté is a Grammy-nominated recording artist\, activist\, filmmaker\, and writer. First known for his work with The Fugees\, Forté wrote and produced songs for their 1996 multi-platinum album The Score. \nFrom albums\, films\, soundtracks\, and fashion shows to The Brooklyn Nets theme song\, creative direction for cannabis brands\, scores for broadcast television\, and social justice campaigns\, John’s art has always complemented powerful and impactful storytelling. \nJohn’s lived experience and activism go hand-in-hand\, as seen in his unyielding support for criminal justice reform initiatives rooted in ending mass incarceration and systemic injustices. He has performed at The White House numerous times during the Obama administration and has contributed his voice and music to Time Done\, the Schools Not Prisons tour\, Vote for Justice\, and most recently\, Californians for Safety and Justice’s Progress not Prisons campaign. \nJohn is a graduate of Phillips Exeter Academy and briefly attended NYU and the London School of Economics. He lives on Martha’s Vineyard with his extraordinarily talented photographer wife\, Lara\, and their two precious children. \nJohn’s latest album\, Vessels\, Angels & Ancestors is transcendent and representative of the spiritual shift in consciousness.
