“We must take courageous stands - wherever we are, whoever we are. We must build communities so anchored in love, so activated by our joy, that cruelty that drives authoritarianism cannot take root.” -Valarie Kaur
“At some point we have to develop an attitude of needing to love everything, especially what is unlovable. Everything has to be loved if you’re interested in getting free.” -Lama Rod Owens
Join us for The Sacred Fire We Carry: Courage and Action for a Healing World with best-selling author and teacher Lama Rod Owens (author of The New Saints and Love & Rage) and celebrated activist and civil rights leader Valarie Kaur (author of Sage Warrior and See No Stranger).
In a world where storms of uncertainty rage and the ground beneath us feels fractured by grief, the weight of collective pain presses upon our hearts. In this tender terrain, the call to act with courage and love is both urgent and sacred.
How can we embody wisdom, presence and compassion in ways that turn overwhelm into clarity, despair into hope, and grief into generative action? How can the sacred fire we carry inside of us become a force of love in action, channeling our pain into purpose, healing and liberation?
Join us for this timely conversation with Lama Rod Owens and Valarie Kaur as they illuminate how spiritually-grounded action can be a lifeline and transformative source of power—for ourselves, communities, and world.
