Join us for Buddhist Dharma teacher Lama Rod Owens’ public lecture. So many of us are grieving and in deep mourning for the suffering that we perceive in the world as well in our own situations. We do not live in a society that is comfortable with our open grieving. Community based grieving is healing and transformative. When we combine community grieving with our deep aspirations to love, then we are able to better transform our grief into wisdom and joy. This is a radical vision of bringing our full selves into the complexity of living.

Attend this student workshop with author, activist, and Lama (Buddhist Teacher) Rod Owens is an author, activist, and Lama (Buddhist Teacher). Stevie Wonder once sang, “Love’s in need of love today.” His words couldn’t be more true as we face a global community struggling with war, poverty, illness, climate instability, and the rise of political authorities and governments who do not seem to be grounded in compassion or kindness.
