Join Spring Washam and Lama Rod Owens in exploring black abolitionist liberation practices for these evolving times. As spiritual abolitionists, we will share advanced spiritual technologies that can be used to disrupt internalized oppression and accelerate our personal and collective evolution.
These conversations will include topics on healing with plant-based medicine, Indigenous wisdom, Buddhist-based meditation practices, and reconnecting to our ancestral knowledge. We will explore how to work collaboratively with our ancestors to get free. Our conversation will include what freedom means individually, collectively, and spiritually. The time has come to reclaim our magic and awaken our courage to meet this challenging moment.
Expanding their conversation on embodied sexuality, Spring Washam and Lama Rod Owens offer fresh perspectives on liberating ourselves from the bonds of shame and reclaiming pleasure.
Be sure to listen to Ep. 6 of The Spirit Underground Podcast for the first part of this conversation!
“We think that exploring and investigating and having these experiences with others is the goal, but really it begins with ourselves. Like I have to figure out who I am; I have to figure out what I find pleasurable. For me, pleasure is just this really awakening energy and experiencing of space.” – Lama Rod Owens
