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: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:WOMEN’S SATSANG: Integrating Intimacy and Spirituality with Zöe Kors
DESCRIPTION:Let’s talk about sex. As women\, we receive an endless stream of messages about how we should look\, smell\, taste\, and behave. Culturally\, we are objectified and hyper-sexualized\, and simultaneously shamed for having our own desire. There are so many influences on the way we experience our sexuality\, it’s nearly impossible to form an organically healthy relationship with this very tender but mighty part of ourselves. Guidance in the context of our spiritual communities is often lacking as well. It’s one thing to live a monastic life\, sequestered at the ashram in a life of devotion. But as householders\, sexual expression and sensual pleasure are necessary nutrients for a deeply nourishing life. \nJoin sex and intimacy coach\, author\, podcaster\, Zoë Kors for a safe\, inclusive\, and joyful exploration and discussion. Together we will talk about an integrative approach to sexuality consistent with the teachings of Ram Dass. \n  \nZoë Kors is a long time satsang member. Zoë Kors is a sought-after thought leader of intimacy and sexuality. Her book\, Radical Intimacy: Cultivate the Deeply Connected Relationships You Desire and Deserve (Hachette\, 2022) is available wherever you buy books. She is the resident sex and intimacy coach and contributor at sexual wellness app Coral and the former Senior Editor and Creative Director of LA Yoga Magazine In addition to a thriving private practice\, Zoë offers her services through Center for Relational Healing\, which specializes in the treatment of sex addiction and betrayal trauma. \nZoë holds a BA in Art History from University of Pennsylvania. Her post graduate work includes certification as a Co-Active Coach with the prestigious Co-Active Training Institute in San Rafael\, CA\, as well as dozens of programs and courses in sexuality and spirituality. Zoë is initiated in the Sri Vidya tantra lineage. Her work reflects her extensive study of Tantra\, Zen Buddhism\, Meditation\, Yoga\, Breathwork\, and other Eastern disciplines\, which she integrates with more process-oriented modalities of Western psychology and Co-Active Coaching. \nZoë currently lives in Los Angeles with her husband\, son\, and dog. She’s passionate about many things\, the daily ritual of French press coffee\, the New York Times\, and attending L.A. Galaxy games top the list. \n  \nFor those who identify as Women\, whether CIS\, Trans\, or non-binary \nWomen’s Satsang Mission Statement\nThe Women’s Satsang has been formed to help cultivate heart connection and allyship among people within the Ram Dass Community who identify as women\, whether cisgender\, non-conforming\, or non-binary women.

SUMMARY:GENERAL SATSANG: Cultivating the Heart
DESCRIPTION:Everyone is welcome for learning\, conversations\, and connection at the General Satsang. This month we explore our connection to heart and how to keep it juicy. Ram Dass says\, “the heart keeps a doorway into the unitive nature of the universe\, and it’s the love that flows through it.  The heart just keeps embracing and opening out\, so that things that open your heart open you out into the universe and allow you to experience preciousness\, the grace\, the sweetness\, and the thick interconnectedness of it all.” \nGeneral Fellowship Mission Statement\nThe 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.  \nEveryone is welcome.  \nTo register\, sign up for the Ram Dass Fellowship\, and check “General Fellowship” under the Fellowship Group Options.  You will be added to the mailing list and will receive links prior to the event.

SUMMARY:FELLOWSHIP LIVESTREAM: Psychedelics\, Mysticism\, and Religion with Madison Margolin
DESCRIPTION:Psychedelics might be where God\, science\, and policy meet. Scientists at the forefront of the psychedelic renaissance have defined the so-called “mystical experience\,” according to several qualifying criteria\, such as a sense of oneness or transcendence of time and space. What they’re finding is a correlation between the magnitude of a patient’s healing—when they undergo psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy for conditions like end-of-life anxiety among cancer patients—and the magnitude to which they have a mystical experience. It’s through this encounter with mysticism that scientists are seeing progress in their research\, and ultimately\, this mystical aspect to psychedelic healing will be part of the mechanism by which psychedelic policy and legality shift in the coming years. \nBut it’s more than that: Psychedelics are forcing scientists to grapple with what indigenous stewards of plant medicine have known since the beginning of humankind—that there’s a vital\, synergistic interplay among spiritual\, mental\, and physical wellness. What’s more is that the feeling of connection to community\, the cosmos\, the natural world\, and other loved ones that psychedelics engender shows a critical relationship between individual and collective healing. Psychedelics\, like spirituality and religion in its purest truest form\, have the potential to connect us back to our integral essence. Having grown up “HinJew” in the Maharajji satsang—where Ram Dass was a close family friend to my father Bruce\, a criminal defense lawyer who campaigned to legalize cannabis—I’m endlessly fascinated by how psychedelics can inform our sense of spirituality and connection to (or deviation from) religion. As a journalist\, I’ve explored this question in particular regard to the Jewish world\, seeing how entheogens like acid or ayahuasca\, are helping people reconcile their religious identities\, heal intergenerational trauma\, and even reconnect to Biblical traditions and ancient shamanic rituals involving entheogenic plants. From Judaism to Hinduism\, and everything in between\, religion can offer a framework through which to understand and foster expanded states of consciousness and ultimate healing. \n\nMadison Margolin is a journalist covering psychedelics\, cannabis\, spirituality\, and Jewish life. She is the co-founder of psychedelic magazine DoubleBlind and has written for publications like Rolling Stone\, Playboy\, and Vice\, among others. Also a co-founder of the Jewish Psychedelic Summit and host of the Set & Setting podcast on the Be Here Now Network\, Madison has traveled from cannabis farms in Northern California to underground ceremonies in Brooklyn to the shores of the Ganges River and all over Israel-Palestine\, reporting on the role of entheogens in religion\, culture\, and healing.
