Encore with new material Lama Rod Owens, New Saints From Broken Hearts to Spiritual Warriors
Description
As the world feels increasingly unstable, many of us are seeking ways to stay grounded, to keep our hearts open, and to resist despair. In this timely encore episode, Buddhist teacher and author Lama Rod Owens reminds us that joy is not only possible in times of crisis—it is essential.
Lama Rod shares deeply from his lived experience as a Black, queer spiritual teacher in America. We talk about how rage can be holy, how rest is sacred, and how joy can serve as a radical, defiant act in the face of oppression.
This conversation is an anchor for anyone navigating stress, overwhelm, or heartbreak right now. May it nourish you deeply.
In this episode:
How joy functions as a tool for resistance
What it means to stay emotionally present without being consumed
Why creative expression is essential for survival
How to begin cultivating inner spaciousness, even in chaos
Practices to help you return to your centre
