Discussing the systemic breakdowns in America, Lama Rod Owens and Spring Washam urge renewal through solidarity with marginalized cultures.
This time on Spirit Underground, Spring and Lama Rod chat about:
The systemic breakdowns happening in our country
Balancing on a thread in this current election cycle
Death / Renewal in nature as an example of what may need to occur in America
Having deep solidarity with the cultures who have been dominated and occupied
Letting go of expecting the world to be different than it is
The human urge to be comfortable even at the cost of discomfort for other groups
Colonization as an intense dissociation and disconnection from our hearts
Becoming embodied and adjusting to our own cultural narratives
Trauma, loss of memory, and control
How the patriarchy has systemically limited the ability for deep emotional labor
Fear of death as the root of all fear
How crisis can give rise to collaboration and grace
Considering the gifts we can offer to the world
"Everyone needs to be free. Everyone needs to have access to the resources they need to be well, safe, and happy. You don’t have to earn a right to be fed and housed and cared for and clothed. This isn’t about the nature of your character, this is about the fact that you are human living in culture and society, and as a society we should care for one another.” – Lama Rod Owens
