A tribute to Joan Ruvinsky

​Joan Ruvinsky, who very graciously agreed to a conversation with me on Facing Death at the end of last year when her life and energy were already limited by her illness, has left us.

In spirit she is very much with us, of course, but no longer in her body.

I came to know her more than a decade ago, when I went to some of her meditation and chanting evenings in Montreal. We shared a love of Krishna Das chants and kirtan, and a love of meditation. She wasn't a non-dual teacher yet, and I had yet to meet my teacher Gangaji.

When we reconnected last year for the conversation, we were able to share and exchange in a new way, from a non-dual perspective. You can watch this beautiful video, on The Radical Joy of Facing Death, in which Joan's light is shining so fully and purely. Thank you, Joan, for your gift of yourself, your teachings, and your unique and mischievous love of paradox!
...  and maybe the most fitting tribute to Joan is this little video from the very last few minutes of our conversation, where she shares her celebration of Love, as well as her silent, love-filled presence: Death only happens to the body, we are Love.

    I will be sharing some news here about online events and some of my own reflections. I'm not a very active blogger, though, so you're better off signing up for the Living from Love newsletter to get all the news in your inbox!
