Staff and R&R Class - recordings: August 12, 2025 - Ram Das Library, Omega Institute, Rhinebeck, New York, USA August 6, 2024 - Ram Das Library, Omega Institute, Rhinebeck, New York, USA I share the developmental stages of a human: from the moment the soul enters the body, drops down through the chakras through adolescence, and the effort it takes to bring that energy back up and eventually out through the top of the head where the soul initially entered.
