Ram Dass is offering a talk on Saturday, 2:00. We'll "be here now" with him and see where the moment takes us. It's easy to imagine us going into wonderful realms of bliss & laughter as we enjoy a rare chance sit, relax & receive some kind of wisdom & activation!

Ram Dass first went to India in 1967. He was still Dr. Richard Alpert, an already eminent Harvard psychologist and psychedelic pioneer with Dr.Timothy Leary. He had continued his psychedelic research until that fateful Eastern trip in 1967, when he traveled to India. In India, he met his guru, Neem Karoli Baba, affectionately known as Maharajji, who gave Ram Dass his name, which means "servant of God." Everything changed then - his intense dharmic life started, and he became a pivotal influence on a culture that has reverberated with the words “Be Here Now” ever since. Ram Dass’s spirit has been a guiding light for three generations, carrying along millions on the journey, helping free them from their bonds as he has worked his way through his own.

Images have existed long before we could speak. We used images in order to create manifestations, rituals, or simply to give thanks to the creators. Art was integral to our communication with one another and with the spirit. Yet, in modern times, words have taken over. Sometimes words get in the way of what our heart has to say. Yet, if we merge the two we create a fuller understanding of one another or with ourself. If an angel shows up on our doorstep, we do not...
