Every day we are being called upon to help one another - in our workplace, in our homes, in our social encounters...and we do what we can...

Yet often our natural inclination to help is complicated by questions: "Do I have what it takes to help?" "Do I have enough energy and time?" "How can I deal with suffering?" And "What really helps someone, anyway?"

Compassionate Action, also known as Seva, or Service, arises from the courage, wisdom, and clarity to answer a call to help and empower one another. It's a lifelong practice that ultimately begins with recognizing our interconnectivity and our shared needs for happiness, comfort, and safety.

For over five decades, Ram Dass came together with organizations, social and political activists, spiritual communities, healthcare workers, and those who simply wish to be of service. He lectured, wrote books, and collaborated with thought leaders to uncover how we can help those in need, and recognize that each individual's needs are met in vastly different ways.

In this free 4-week course, The Yoga of Service: Approaching Inner and Outer Social Action with a Compassionate Heart, you'll learn how the peaks and valleys of serving others can yield to some of the most joyous, challenging, and ultimately meaningful moments of our lives.

Although these teachings originated in a different decade, they remain as timely as ever as we consider our culture's context in this moment and our deep yearning to rediscover our shared values while honoring our magnificent diversity. To work to relieve suffering and polarity where we can while humbling ourselves enough to simply listen to others' needs.

Service is a call to deep inner work, an invitation to reach out to others with curiosity and compassion, and to deepen an understanding of our true nature. It's the courage to trust an open heart's vulnerability and power while honoring our own boundaries and well-being. Finding that balance is a lifelong journey, and we look forward to sharing the next 4-weeks exploring the most powerful ways we can show up for each other and ourselves.
