Can we metabolize our pain to create an entry point into liberation? How can spirituality support us in this process?
This week, Thomas sits down with Buddhist minister, author, and activist Lama Rod Owens to share visions for collective liberation, the importance of reconnecting with Indigenous worldviews, sacred ecology, and unseen worlds, and strategies to overcome hopelessness and despair as we work to dismantle harmful systems.
They explore the intersection of individual and collective trauma, the connection between spiritual awakening and social justice, and the importance of meeting suffering and discomfort with kindness and presence instead of bypassing it for short-term relief.
It’s a wide-ranging and inspiring conversation that bridges the mystical and the practical, and we hope you’ll tune in.
