Ram Dass will be offering a talk again this year. 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.

We are honored to present Alex Grey at this year’s Maui Mystic Garden
Party in February. Alex is considered to be the top visionary artist in the
world dedicated to the craft of, as he puts it, becoming a “transparent medium
through which a person is able to reconnect with his or her own deeper nature.”
Alex has studied the human body and spiritual experience at such length, that
he has developed a profound ability to depict the mystical relationship between
consciousness and the body with such detail that it has been known to evoke
a transcednetal experience in the viewer. In Maui, Alex will be giving a talk
about his life experience as well as displaying original artwork and selling
prints. Also for our Sponsors, VIPs and Special Guests only, we have planned
an intimate “Meet and Greet” party with Alex and Allyson Grey the day
before the event, where you will have an opportunity to get a limited edition
autographed print. You can preview Alex Grey’s amazing work at COSM.org.
