“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.”

Online & In-Person in Atlanta

Releasing and Planting 

2025 Solstice Gatherings


ONLINE | Wednesday, December 17th, 2025 from 6:00pm - 8:00pm ET

IN PERSON in Atlanta, GA | Saturday, December 20th, 2025 from 5:00pm - 8:00pm ET

Join Lama Rod for ceremonies that intentionally work with the energies of this seasonal transition to celebrate the fruits of our labor while also leaning into the spirit of release. These live offerings, held online (Dec 17th) and in-person (Dec 20th in Atlanta),  will include ritual, ceremony, and practices that support letting go and planting seeds for ourselves and for our collective.

“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.

Order The New Saints

“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.”

—Tara Brach, author of Radical Acceptance and Radical Compassion
