Meditation Movie Night (Becoming Nobody)

Having spent the month of August diving deep into the study and practice of meditation, this Meditation Movie Night was born. Our first movie night, of what is likely to be a regular occurance, is: Becoming Nobody

"Becoming Nobody is the quintessential portal to Ram Dass’ life and teachings. His ability to entertain and his sense of humour are abundantly evident in a conversation that brings us around to address the vast question of ultimate freedom.

Becoming Nobody represents the core arc of Ram Dass’ teachings and life: whether as Dr. Richard Alpert, the eminent Harvard psychologist, or as Ram Dass who serves as a bridge between Eastern and Western philosophies, he has defined a generation of inner explorers and seekers of truth and wisdom. Through his turns as scion of an eminent Jewish family from Boston, rock-star Harvard psychologist, counter-culture rascally adventurer, Eastern holy man, stroke survivor and compassionate caregiver, Ram Dass has worn many hats on his journey, the narrative of which is revealed in this film.

In Becoming Nobody, historic clips balance an engaging conversation with director Jamie Catto. We come to understand how our old roles and disguises become increasingly burdensome. The film captures a loving man full of joy, wit, honesty and wisdom, at ease in conversation while sharing his considerable pains and pleasures. The life experiences that have freed him from the attachments of his ‘somebody-ness’ have transformed him into the radiant soul who now inspires a new generation."

What can I expect?

We'll get our bodies limber with the Magic 6 to begin (recommended but entirely optional), then settle in for Becoming Nobody (75min), which will be projected onto the studio wall. I will provide herbal tea and popcorn!

We'll conclude our event with 10-15 minutes of meditation.
