Seven years ago, the Be Here Now Network was founded at the request of Ram Dass as a vehicle to provide his teachings to seekers far and wide. Our mission is to bring together the legacy of Ram Dass with future generations of teachers and thought leaders in the space of consciousness, mindfulness, meditation and spiritual practice.
With your support, we now host a vast network of over 18 podcasts, ranging from a broad spectrum of topics that look at the world and its current events from a perspective of mindfulness and spirituality.
Be Here Now Network is a sister platform of the Ram Dass Love Serve Remember Foundation. Together we continue to honor Ram Dass' legacy.
