About the Event

Friday, September 29
6-7:15 PM ET

virtual event; open to the public and all mentees & mentors

Join us for a Friday Night Salon with Lama Rod Owens, a Buddhist Lama and intersectional thought leader as he shares a guide for those who would dream a more just, ethical
world into being. 

Lama Rod’s newest book, The New Saints: From Broken Hearts to Spiritual Warriors, is a guidebook for becoming an effective agent of justice, peace, and change. Combining personal stories, traditional teachings, and instructions for contemplative and somatic practices, he shares inspiring resources for self-exploration and wise action. Each chapter reinforces the truth of our interdependency—allowing us to be of service to the collective wellbeing, access the unseen realms of divine guidance and strength, and call on the support of the countless beings who share our struggles and hopes.

The New Saints is for those who have the willingness to allow their hearts to break open, disrupt systems of violence, and let deep, authentic care guide their actions instead of fear and hate, serving a vision of a world shaped by love.

Together, we’ll engage in prompts and discussion that speak to the combined impact of spirituality and activism.
