Ray passed away this morning, December 13, 2020, at 7:00 am. His breathing was slow and rhythmic, his eyes were closed, he was in the arms of a loved one… and then there wasn’t another breath.
There is no doubt that he felt your love and nurturing presence
with him throughout these last weeks. The multiple layers of support that surrounded him were profound. Even in the most difficult moments, he knew he was loved and that he was supported to take the next step on his journey.
It was noted several times that the last few days have felt like being at a birth: stillness and presence punctuated by conscious action. And now this body, on this plane, has finished its labor and given birth to his spirit. As so many have said, Godspeed, dear Ray — father, brother, loved one, mentor. We are certain you are in the Light.
Ray’s life will be celebrated via an online memorial. We will let you know more details when we have them.
With boundless gratitude to each of you,
The Castellino Family

Dear Family,
Like chrysalis into the ocean of love. Only the greatness of this Love to see how we all merge into what we all came from. Ray was so much more than a host dad, he left a print in my life I am so Thankful for this. How fortunate I was to have learned with him, heard and seen his kindness, his listening without judgement yet at the same time so supportive. My mom, and dad know his valuable being. My children, husband and me are so sad to see him leave this plane. So much love such a great heart can only be missed.

There are many great teachers and healers, but there’s no one like Ray who brings his own special papa bear wisdom, insight, depth, strength, and clarity. We who have known him are forever enriched and many, many lives have been transformed. His legacy will continue to reach out in the hands and hearts of parents, children, healers, and teachers and students who continue to carry on the cycles of learning and teaching. Infinite gratitude to all who loved, supported, and nurtured Ray and his work, and who even now send such a beautiful heartfelt, supportive message to our wide community and network. All blessings.

Qué duermes con los angelitos, Ray. Thanks for modeling PRESENCE, 100% pure presence with babies of ALL ages, and for teaching us, your students, how to invite humans to dance. My favorite image of you is belly down on the floor, your chin resting on your hand, eye to eye with a brand-new crawl-arounder, beaming unconditional regard and delight. To those left here on this side… Arms about you who are in the circle of love so close to Ray you could witness in awe his negotiation of the threshold dance. Thank you for being present for him. The gifts I received from that RAY of sunshine from T-2 forward continue to nourish me.
Thank you. I am full… but in this moment I feel so empty as my heart lurches out of my chest in protest of this too soon Good Bye. ‘Bye, Ray.

I honor Ray.
I honor his way of being, I honor his teaching, I honor his love and I will honor his legacy by using what I have learned in own life and by passing on what I have learned from him to others,- friends, colleagues and clients,- children in all ages.
Ray have created so many rings in the water. And I believe his work will continue to support and transform many more.
Thank you, Ray.

I first met Ray at Dr. Stone’s Polarity seminar in 1972 — and will forever remember driving in the car together and singing our heads off — the joy of him, the love, the sweetness, the beauty of this being who touched us all and has left us with such lovely memories. His journey here is done, he walked the walk and we are left happy for him and yet tearful. My deep love to his family as they let go of the physical with sadness yet joy knowing that father, brother, friend, husband was such a GOOD HUMAN BEING. May we too live our final days here with inner purpose and tranquillity, with my love Chloe Wordsworth

Ich danke dir Ray für die Liebe und die Zugänge zum pränatalen Feld, die du hinterlassen hast. Die Begegnungen mit dir in Teufen, in Merdingen, Findhorn und in Wien werden für mich unvergesslich sein. Unzählige Menschen durften dadurch Heilung und Linderung erfahren. Dein Wirken war engelsgleich und du wirst in meinem Herzen immer einen besonderen Platz haben. Deine Arbeit hat mich zu meiner Bestimmung gebracht. Dafür danke ich dir unendlich! Mit Liebe, Würde, Hochachtung und Demut vor deinen Erkenntnissen werde ich deine Arbeit weiter tragen.
Möge dieses Wärme und Dankbarkeit den Schmerz der Familie Castellino lindern und ein erfüllender Chorgesang erklingen … so wie er mit uns sang: Dona nobis pacem!
Mein ganzes Mitgefühl und Beileid geht an die Familie und die Liebenden von Ray.

Ich möchte für die Babycranio unsere Vereinbarung ein bissl modifizieren… aber bitte nicht jetzt, erst nach deinem Urlaub.
Heute war ich beim Astrologen: er sagte “eh klar,” das Thema (Finanz, “für meine finanzielle Sicherheit sorgen” hat er es genannt) zeigt schon meine Sternenkonstellation … hat im Nov 20 begonnen und geht noch ein Jahr.😩 Er meinte das liegt mir gar nicht, das muss ich mir erarbeiten… das hab ich eh gemerkt.
Aber etwas hat mir eingeleuchtet: er meinte, “Sie sind ja nicht für sich auf der Welt sondern für die anderen, sie wollen einen Beitrag zu einer besseren Welt hinterlassen. Und Sie haben sich entschieden, das mittels eines Geschäftes zu machen. Es wäre ja auch anders möglich gewesen. Und da gehört das wirtschaftliche dazu“
also ich brüte auf meinen Wirtschaftsfähigkeiten….bin neugierig was da herausschlüpft

I worked with you, Ray, in one of your first trainings and your loving yet challenging presence opened me up to be the person I could be to do the work I came to do. I will be forever grateful. Blessings to you. May you enjoy rest and peace before journeying on. Gratitude and love to Sandra and family. He could not have given his gifts and changed the lives of so many of us or felt so peaceful in the end without your support.

We’ve all been so blessed to have been touched so deeply, beautifully, playfully, elegantly by Ray. My life and life’s work have shifted and will continue to. And the truth he shared in his parting words of love and going home have left an indelible place in my being. As I heard an native american say recently you have left this earth suit. Wrapping us all in love in our appreciation and grief, especially those of you that are Ray’s immediate family and loved ones.

Thank you, Ray. We only met twice, and only via Zoom, but what happened in those sessions with you was beautiful and powerful. I had hoped to do a womb surround process with you in person once COVID had passed. That that cannot happen fills me with sadness, but also greater determination and gratitude to live fully, openly, and truthfully. It’s clear you touched so many, many lives and lived (and loved) deeply. Even the sliver of knowledge I have about you is rich beyond description. My cup overfloweth. Blessings to you, your family and friends — and deep gratitude for your work on this Earth.
