October 17

– October Community Book Club – How Can I Help? By Ram Dass and Paul Gorman

 (Thursday, August 17th & Friday, August 18th)

About the Book: 

In “How Can I Help?”, spiritual teacher Ram Dass and humanitarian Paul Gorman collaborate to explore the profound impact of selfless service and compassionate presence in aiding those in need. The book offers a blend of personal anecdotes, practical guidance, and philosophical insights to illuminate how one can contribute to the well-being of others in meaningful ways.


Ram Dass, renowned for his transformative spiritual teachings, and Paul Gorman, with his extensive experience in humanitarian work, provide readers with a holistic approach to helping others. They discuss the importance of empathy, the role of mindfulness in service, and how to navigate the challenges that arise when engaging in acts of kindness.

Through a series of real-life stories and practical advice, the authors highlight that the essence of helping lies in our ability to connect deeply with others and offer support from a place of authenticity and presence. The book encourages readers to reflect on their own motivations and to develop a compassionate mindset that goes beyond mere acts of charity.

“How Can I Help?” is both a guide and an invitation to transform one’s approach to service, offering a pathway to creating positive change through conscious, heartfelt action.

Event Details:

You are encouraged to bring your journal or writing materials along with a cup of your favorite drink as we sit together in true book club style and share a warm and inspiring time together. 

It is not necessary to have read the book – just come along anyway, your presence is more than enough.


To catalyze your reading journey and our book club discussions, here are a few journal prompts to consider:

  • What about this book do you enjoy?
  • What if anything do you find challenging?
  • Did this book reveal anything about you – that you were not previously aware of?
  • In reading this book – what are you inspired to ‘let come’ and to ‘let go’?
  • Do you have any questions that you would like to ask others in the meeting that might help illuminate your own experience of the book?
  • How does this work align or not with the practices of deep coaching?

Looking forward to sharing time with you as we explore this and future books!!
