Intimacy with All Things Course • Ram Dass

What if every relationship in your life—whether with a friend, a partner, a stranger, or even nature—was an opportunity for awakening?

We live in a world where it’s easy to feel isolated and alone. Genuine connection is harder and harder to come by. But it is our relationships that help keep us grounded and centered in the chaos of life. Intimacy is connection, rather than isolation.

But intimacy is about more than closeness; it’s a way of seeing, feeling, and experiencing life through love. It’s about breaking down the walls of separation and embracing the sacred connection between all things.

Our relationships with each other can be vehicles for our growth. They can be vehicles for our entrapment. Our relationships with one another can be vehicles for bringing us more into the universe, into the moment, into the flow of things. Or they can be vehicles for isolating us more into our separateness.

- Ram Dass

What You'll Get During the 10-Day Course:

Your 10 Daily Teaching Themes

Relationship with Self

It’s the most fascinating question in the world: Who am I? Go beyond your mind and body to explore the true nature of self, the illusion of separateness, and the synergy between mindfulness and self-compassion.

Relationships with Others

Our relationships with each other can be vehicles for our growth or for our entrapment. Explore the nature of wise relationships, how our models define what we see in the world, and how relationships can serve as a powerful spiritual practice.

Love & Marriage

In this realm of confusion and impermanence, a moment of love is a miracle. Explore the concept of marriage, embrace the power of relationships as a mirror for our hearts, and connect to a bigger kind of love.

Sex & Lust

Sexual intimacy can be an overlooked path to spiritual awareness. Explore the fleeting transcendence found in pleasure, the unconscious fears and beliefs that hinder true intimacy, and the deep connection found through sexuality.

Family & Children

Our roles within our family structures are part of being in the Way of things. Explore the true meaning of dharmic parenting, how each person follows a unique spiritual path, and how playing your part perfectly provides a deeper sense of interconnectedness.

Parents & Aging

As people and families grow older, a change occurs in everyone. Explore how our relationships with our parents impact our spiritual growth, how to cultivate an appreciation of ourselves beyond our bodies, and the intimate ways aging brings us together.

Friends & Community

It’s so helpful to come together with other people and care for one another. Explore the karmic debt that binds us with others, the great freedom found in the collective wisdom of community, and how truth is essential on our path to awakening.

Teachers & Gurus

True awakening comes from recognizing the divine within ourselves. Explore the concept of spiritual surrender, the dynamic between student and teacher, and why a true guru is simply a doorway to the Supreme Reality.

Money & Right Livelihood

Is it possible to have an attitude of service in whatever work we do? Explore the intersection of spirituality, work, and wealth, learn how to align material pursuits with spiritual values, and take the aspiration of bodhicitta and put it into practice.

Animals & Nature

Our intimacy with the world around us is a portal into a vast perspective. Explore the interdependence of humans and the natural world, the transformative power in our connections with animals, and how to ground ourselves in the sacred wisdom of nature.
