Lama Rod Owens: The Principles of Resiliency and Self-Preservation for People of Color

Lama Rod Owens asks the question, "What is required of you to liberate yourself from your suffering? How do I restore myself so I can do liberation work and engage with community?" Authentic liberation looks different for everyone. Here, Lama Rod examines the varied forms of spiritual medicine we need to create rituals around self-care. This call-to-action reflects the ideals of Audre Lorde, who believed being self-indulgent was an act of self-preservation; its own form of political warfare.
