About the Program

The film Ram Dass: Fierce Grace chronicles the life of Richard Alpert, a Harvard professor who in 1963 was removed from his position at that institution for conducting controversial psychedelic drug research. He later traveled to India where he met his guru Maharaj ji, who renamed him Ram Dass ("Servant of God"). Best known for his 1971 best seller “Be Here Now”, Ram Dass became an inspiration to people around the world. Seating is limited so please contact School 33 Art Center to RSVP by Thursday, October 2, 2008 at school33@promotionandarts.com.

The topic Mystical Circuitry: Mind, Body, and Art will be an intriguing panel and group discussion revolving around various issues addressed in the film and throughout the featured exhibition. Mysticism, the paranormal, transcendence, and consciousness are some of the topics that panelists will discuss and engage in with the audience.
