Do you find yourself dreading the process of getting older?
Sadly, aging is often seen in a negative light in Western culture, with our worth, contribution, and respect seemingly diminished with time.
And yet, each and every one of us is faced with the ongoing physical and spiritual changes and challenges of ageing — from changes to the body... to health issues... to big questions about personal purpose, life, and death.
According to Ram Dass, one of America’s most beloved consciousness leaders, you can learn to embrace the gifts of aging and make your later years your “golden years” — the most spiritually meaningful time of your life.
After his stroke in 1997, Ram Dass faced partial paralysis, aphasia and a host of physical challenges — including chronic pain and all manner of inconveniences.
Yet he considered the stroke an act of “fierce grace” that propelled him to another level of spiritual growth.
Ram Dass showed that it is possible to transform the heaviness that can come with aging into an expanded lightness of being and even joy.
In this free online event, you’ll have a chance to harvest many seeds of wisdom to plant in the garden of your own life — blossoming into peace, playfulness and wisdom as you navigate your journey of growing older.
You CAN make aging into a journey of liberation, laughter and lightness of being if, like Ram Dass, you embrace it as “fierce grace.”
Surely, no one is better equipped to help us do that than Ram Dass, who lives with an effervescent grace, love and beauty... even in a body that has been severely impaired.
We’re honored to partner with him for a soul-expanding hour in which you’ll also learn about an online program with him that will explore this essential work in greater depth.
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. In India, he met his guru, Neem Karoli Baba (affectionately known as Maharaj-ji), who gave Ram Dass his name, which means “servant of God.” In that moment, everything changed — 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.
Be Here Now, Ram Dass’ monumentally influential and seminal work, still stands as the highly readable centerpiece of Western articulation of Eastern philosophy, offering guidance on how to live joyously 100 percent of the time in the present, luminous or mundane. Be Here Now continues to be the instruction manual of choice for generations of spiritual seekers. Forty years later, it’s still part of the timeless present.
Ram Dass now resides on Maui, where he shares satsang and kirtan, and where he can amplify the healing process in the air and waters of Hawaii. His work continues to serve as a path of wisdom and inspiration to countless seekers. Ram Dass’ spirit has been a guiding light for three generations, carrying along millions on the journey, helping free them from their bonds as he worked his way through his own.

Be Here Now, Ram Dass’ monumentally influential and seminal work, still stands as the highly readable centerpiece of Western articulation of Eastern philosophy. It explains how to live joyously 100 percent of the time in the present, whether your outer circumstances are luminous or mundane. He founded the Love Serve Remember Foundation, whose mission is to preserve and continue the teachings of Ram Dass' guru, Neem Karoli Baba.
On February 19, 1997, Ram Dass suffered a near-fatal stroke, which left him paralyzed on the right side of his body, with expressive aphasia limiting his ability to speak, along with other challenging ailments. Although the aftereffects of the stroke vastly altered his day-to-day life, he resumed teaching.
Before he passed away in December 2019, Ram Dass resided on Maui, where he shared satsang and, kirtan, and where he could amplify the healing process in the air and waters of Hawaii. His final projects included a documentary entitled Becoming Nobody and a musical collaboration with East Forest.
