SoulPod General Satsang – Living in the Spirit

Here and Now Podcast Soulpod Meetup: Episode Discussion

Join us as we dive into Episode 273 of the Ram Dass Here and Now podcast, where Ram Dass reflects on the transformation from ignorance to wisdom. “The really fierce problem that most of us are realizing at this moment,” he says, “is how to alter our ways of thinking about who we are and how it all is, to be in tune with something inside that already knows.”

Ram Dass talks about the roller coaster of going up and coming down—an experience that’s ultimately a game. The real work, he reminds us, is to center ourselves so that we can live in tune with the spirit. He offers wisdom on practices like vipassana meditation, pranayama breathing, and bhakti yoga, reminding us that true spiritual practices help us center our minds and hearts. “Every form of yoga is based on one-pointedness of mind,” he shares, “and bhakti yoga works when you can make your mind so one-pointed on Ram that you and Ram become one.”

After you listen, dive deeper – share, discuss, explore, and practice! The Ram Dass virtual Soupod Satsang provides a space for folks worldwide to connect and bring their inspirations, curiosities, and insights, as well as things we might not otherwise talk about with others. It is a nourishing, welcoming, and refreshing space open to everyone, whether this is the first time you’ve listened to a podcast or your 255th.

Hosted by Jackie Dobrinska. Come meet the friends you haven’t met yet. If you feel nervous about talking face-to-face with new folks, just listen to these testimonials by others who were in your shoes.

In our 75 minutes together on zoom, we will:

• Start with a short centering,
• Have a short summary of the episode
• Share our own stories, curiosities, and inspirations in breakout rooms,
• Chat and/or chant as a whole group to create deeper connections.

Please listen to the most recent Ram Dass podcast episode.

We look forward to seeing you there!

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.

To 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.
