Black, Queer, Buddhist: A Journey in Spirituality

Found Free with Sabia Wade

Welcome back to another episode of the Found Free podcast! Today's guest is the profound Lama Rod Owens, and let me tell you, this conversation is one you won't want to miss. From the very start, Lama Rod's candor and authenticity had me completely enthralled. As a queer Black Buddhist teacher, he offers a unique lens into the intersections of identity, spirituality, and activism.

With refreshing vulnerability, Lama Rod takes us on his journey - from his intense need for grounding that initially drew him to meditation, to his years of monastic training that culminated in a three-year silent retreat. His words provide insight into decolonizing spirituality and reclaiming our ancestral magic. Owens emphasizes the importance of communities that allow space for growth and learning, whatever stage of life you’re at.

Throughout our dialogue, I was struck by Llama Rod's wisdom on embodiment, intuition, and challenging societal constructs. His perspective offers a radical reimagining of how we can move through the world. If these themes resonate with you, then subscribe and listen to part two of this powerful interview. Owens' profound yet relatable musings are an absolute must-listen for anyone seeking to embrace the complexities of the human experience.
