Ram Dass, Be Here Now, and the Moment That Changed Me
Description
In this episode of Soul Stories with Jill, I take you back to a Omega Institute conference I attended in the early 2000s, in Miami, where I had a chance encounter with the one and only Ram Dass. It was a moment that shifted something deep within me, and it’s a story I’ve never forgotten.
Before I share that story, I want to introduce Ram Dass to anyone who may not know his teachings. From his early days as Harvard professor Richard Alpert, to his spiritual transformation in India, to writing the beloved book Be Here Now, his message of presence, love, and soul-level truth continues to ripple through the world.
In this episode, I share who Ram Dass was and why his work still matters, read a powerful excerpt from Be Here Now, and open up about how seeing him impacted me in a way I’m still carrying today. This conversation is an invitation to slow down, be here now, and maybe even remember that we’re all just walking each other home.
