“The next message you need is always right where you are.” - Ram Dass

In a world full of a lot of noise, the cacophony is real, and I found myself taking some extra time this weekend for intentional space, for meditation, connecting with presence, centering and simply being. To Be Here Now.

I’ve been grateful for Ram Dass for decades as a leader and teacher, for his words and presence that can call us back to what matters just when we need it, exactly as we are.

Maybe, just like the next message I need, the next #VR experience I need is also right where I am. Being like water, letting it arrive and be.

It’s the time, here at the edge of a season of spring, when I start to notice all the little signs of natural emergence: the trees starting to sprout leaves, the birdsongs returning after winter, the way the air feels different and softer against my skin. Each cycle of seasons is part of the journey, as we’re all “walking each other home,” as Ram Dass has said.

I’m especially honored and moved to be experiencing a new way of encountering his wisdom in virtual reality, through the new experience “Journey,” just released on the TRIPP platform.

Words can only describe the wonder that exists within this incredibly moving creative piece, a testament to the connection, vibrancy, and meditative awe inspired by Ram Dass.

The homage is one way to reflect, engage, and ultimately let go, riding the ride. I won’t give away all the details — let’s just say I feel incredibly blessed to be part of the TRIPP, Inc. team that partnered with Ram Dass — Love Serve Remember Foundation to bring this to life. What a gift to the world he continues to be, shaping our quality of life and approach to well-being. In celebration of every Journey, and especially this one! Thank you Ram Dass and community.
