Late Night Chat: guest Alisa Genovese, Nov 17, 2024, live on Baba Zoom

We have some informal chat after every arti, the "post-arti party"! But once a week, Jeff Wolverton joins us for some serious mining of the spiritual depths. Join us for conversation, more readings, songs, quotes - you never know what treasures will be uncovered! Topic: Guest Speaker Alisa GenoveseDear folks of Baba, Tonight we have as our guest, Alisa Genovese, who came to Baba when she was just 19 years old back in the 1970s. Given her background, she could have gone many different ways in her life, and the way that unfolded for her was a lifelong dedication to Baba. She was married to Robert Dreyfus who had the great good fortune of meeting Baba in the mid-1960s, and over the years she spent many intimate times with Baba’s mandali. She has beautiful stories to tell of those experiences. In here career as a therapist, Alisa has seen many of the problems and challenges facing that keep us from a deeper intimacy with Baba and with each other. She has a wealth of insight into the human condition today, so don’t hesitate to ask her questions. She is currently working on a project in conjunction with the Heartland Center in Prague, OK to acquire and memorialize the sacred sites related to Baba’s 1952 accident and recuperation. Alisa is a resident of Asheville, NC, a city that was heavily hit recently by Hurricane Helene, and she witnessed the profound cooperation among people of different backgrounds and political stripes who came together to help people in their supreme need and stress during this severe tragedy. As I mentioned earlier, Alisa is open to questions on a wide range of topics and is happy to encourage discussion. One topic she has shared that might be especially pertinent is how we can make our relationship with Baba more personal: cultivating His companionship. And also, how we can be more receptive to intuition, our intimate way of communicating directly with Baba. Come with questions and answers; she is a great source of insight into the dynamics of the inner life with Baba.In His love, Jeff and GoherTo join the email list for Late Night Chats, contact Angela

He grew up with several Prem Ashram boys, who later returned to Iran to live their adult years.

Special Guest Speaker, JASMINE PATEL.Dear folks of Baba,Our guest speaker for this Sunday, Oct. 20th is Jasmine Patel. Hereunder is her bio.Jasmine Patel grew up in a Baba family. Her grandfather and mother both met Meher Baba on several occasions. Baba’s mother Shireen and Jasmine’s great, great, great grandmother Gulnar were first cousins. Jasmine’s mother is named Gulnar after her great, great grandmother. Her grandfather Boman grew up in Pune playing with Baba’s brother Jal and Padri, Mehera’s cousin and one of the lifelong disciples of Baba. He would describe going to Zoroastrian gatherings in the 1920s in which Baba and the mandali would show up. It is hard to imagine the informality of the early years with Baba!Jasmine started coming to Meher Spiritual Center as a child, got involved in the youth sahavas, and in the last 2 years has co-hosted the “not so youth sahavas” for parents who attended the youth sahavas and now have children attending the youth sahavas.
