“There’s no liberation without actually leaning forward and looking at the things that we habitually run away from, in order to see things as they really are, not as we have imagined them.”

Journey Through Grief

A Year in the Practice & Ritual of Breaking our Hearts Open

March 2026 - March 2027

As we move through this period of intense systemic collapse, confronting one crisis after another, we are experiencing a loss that seems to transcend language. This loss brings forth grief that is both personal and collective, as much as it is nonlinear, ambiguous, potent, and overwhelming. The next few years of our collective experience will be heavy with grief as we tend to the dying of our old world to open to the birth of a world anew. Grief work will be the next stage of healing activism. Join Lama Rod for a yearlong journey through grief from broken to open hearts.

“Our era calls for saints who are from this time and place, who speak the language of this moment, and who integrate both social and spiritual liberation. I believe we all can and must become New Saints.”

Discover insights and techniques to ignite your inner fierceness and compassion; create a sustainable spiritual practice that serves others and the planet; and embody the virtues of a New Saint.

Here is a clarion call for becoming a spiritual warrior—a human refreshed, serving a vision of a world shaped by love.

“The New Saints is breathtakingly honest. From grief and loneliness to radical acceptance, Lama Rod Owens beautifully weaves in the complexities of being human and truly getting free. It is a gift to be on this Earth in the same space and time as Lama Rod Owens.”

—Nova Reid, author of The Good Ally

Order The New Saints

“The New Saints will challenge your current understanding and offer fresh inspiration about ways, together, we can bring healing to our beautiful and broken world. This is a bold and powerful offering—one that attunes to our times with great lucidity, wisdom, and heart.”
