Lama Rod Owens - Caring for ourselves and communities in challenging times

Lama Rod is one of the world’s most influential contemporary Buddhist teachers and a leading voice on 'race', love, justice and collective care. A Black Buddhist Southern Queen, Harvard Divinity School graduate, author of The New Saints and Love and Rage, and co-author of Radical Dharma, his work brings spiritual practice into conversation with social change, identity, grief, healing and liberation. In a time of division, uncertainty and profound change, Lama Rod invites us to consider: How do we care for ourselves without turning away from the challenges of our time? How do we build communities capable of sustaining care, resilience and lasting change? “ "When we return back to ourselves, we tap into the inner knowing and spaciousness that is already present within. In the face of ongoing polycrises and unsettling change, maintaining our physical and emotional balance is an act of resistance and a commitment to creating a world in which we can all thrive." - Lama Rod Owens
