What it is: Pamela’s gatherings, called satsang (Sanskrit for “meetings in truth”), are meetings where people come to “take refuge in the heart.” In a supportive atmosphere of like-minded seekers, she employs techniques to question and quiet the mind, so that the loving, true nature of our authentic selves can be experienced. (note: this video was not taken at one of Pamela’s gatherings, however it does show the level of meditation skill you need to attend, i.e. very little…)

Growth Potential: I was a failure as a meditator. Satsang with Pamela was my entree to accessing the peaceful core beyond the mind’s chatter.

Pop Potential: Pam’s students run the gamut from teenagers to homemakers to people who have spent many years in sincere spiritual study. Her approach to nondualism is so simple, one need never read a single Vedic text to experience the state the rishis spoke of. If you think Vedic is something you hope not to catch, and rishis sound like something delicious, you’re still in great shape to find peace with Pamela.

“Get Real” Potential: Pam’s very sweet, giggly-girl personality could be off-putting to some (it isn’t to me).

What I Got out of it: Ultimately satsang was not “mental” enough for me, and I went on to a more hands-on inquiry practice, but I would not have gotten there without the tacit encouragement of this gentle teacher, who lovingly showed me that I needn’t believe everything I think.
