About this Event
Come together in community to reflect on gratitude through the wisdom of Ram Dass.
We’ll listen to one of his recorded lectures, share insights in open discussion, and engage in simple gratitude rituals — exploring how to bring more love, awareness, and appreciation into everyday life.
About Ram Dass
Born Richard Alpert (1931–2019), Ram Dass was a Harvard psychologist turned spiritual teacher whose groundbreaking book Be Here Now helped bring Eastern philosophy to Western culture. After a transformative journey in India, he became a student of Maharaj-ji (Neem Karoli Baba) and embraced a life devoted to love, service, and inner awakening.
His teachings bridge psychology and mysticism, reminding us that the spiritual path isn’t about escaping the human experience — it’s about being fully present within it. Through his timeless wisdom on compassion, death, and consciousness, Ram Dass continues to inspire seekers around the world to live from the heart and “be here now.”
