   Living Presence: The Love and Teachings of Ram Dass

   This Q&A from the 2025 Sacred Community Retreat contains a discussion on the final moments of Ram Dass's life, the events that led to the creation of Hanuman Maui, and ways to apply Ram Dass's teachings of Loving Awareness. Featuring Ram Dass caregivers Pavan Das and Sitaram Dass and joined by zander cole and Vasu jon Seskevich. We are sharing this now because Hanuman Maui has started a fundraising campaign to secure Ram Dass's home as a permanent sanctuary for future generations to come. Ram Dass’s Maui home has long been a place of satsang, service, spiritual practice, and loving awareness. Now, Hanuman Maui is under contract to purchase it. This is an opportunity to give the mission a permanent home, expand the people that can be served, and carry loving awareness forward for generations to come.

   Creative Tensions: Sacred Community Retreat 2025 (Q&A #2)

   This second Q&A from the 2025 Sacred Community Retreat features a discussion on acting with kindness and the creative tension between acceptance and ambition and how it intersects with our careers, artistic pursuits, and spiritual lives. It ends with a few Ram Dass stories for good measure. It also contains an in-depth discussion about cultural appropriation. This topic is a big one, and though the facilitators don't claim to offer any universal answers, as a group they explore the question from multiple viewpoints and cultural perspectives. We are sharing it here because at SCP we don't shy away from systemic issues. In our retreat invocation we state, "We have come together to invoke the Sacred through our shared humanity. During this retreat, we each agree to attend to five things: ourselves, each other, the group, the world, and the shared Presence unifying it all. We do this as an act of devotion, knowing that God is manifest in all five." And, "We tend to the world by acknowledging we are not separate from collective sorrow, collective aid, or systemic influences associated with race, class, gender, sexuality, or ability."
