“Now, I’ve done this, being with my father once a month now, for several years, because I said to myself, ‘Look, you have to honor your incarnation. And one of the aspects of your incarnation is that you are your father’s son.’ And even though, on some level, that seems kind of funny, it happens to be part of what it’s about. Just like I have to honor the fact that I am an American. I have to pay my taxes. I have to do a lot of stuff. And this is one of the things, I must honor it. And then I have to figure out—what does it mean to honor it? What does it mean to honor it? What does it mean to honor parents?” – Ram Dass
Dear SoulPod Family, As we move into the Thanksgiving holiday, we invite you to come together in sacred community under the light of Ram Dass’ teachings. Join us on Wednesday, November 26 at 3 pm ET | 12 pm PT for a special SoulPod Gathering to explore Episode 291: Honoring Parents & Honoring Our Incarnation. This episode spans five decades of Ram Dass’ life—from the late 1960s through the 2010s—offering intimate stories about his mother and father, and deep reflections on what it means to honor the people and conditions of our incarnation. It’s a beautiful and grounding conversation to sit with right before being with family, offering perspective, compassion, and a softer heart.  Why Join?
Gathering together allows Ram Dass’ teachings to become lived experience. In community, we get to:
 Rest in loving awareness
Reflect on family, lineage, and the dharma of incarnation
Share stories and receive support before the holiday
Keep these teachings alive through honest, heartfelt conversation
 Episode Themes Include:
• The tender complexity of parent–child relationships
• Allowing others to open the door to deeper conversations
• Moments of intimacy born from not trying to “be someone”
• Honoring our incarnation as part of the spiritual path
• Becoming somebody before becoming nobody
• Seeing our parents as high souls, beyond the roles we’ve worn
 When: Wednesday, November 26 | 3 pm ET | 12 pm PT
 Episode: Here & Now – 291: Honoring Parents & Incarnation
Host: Jackie Dobrinska

Come as you are—with your heart, your history, your tenderness, and your curiosity. Together, we’ll meet the moment with presence and compassion, just as Ram Dass invited us to. With love and light,
Jackie
