“Each of us can be a new saint. In our pain, our trauma, and all our complexity, we all can―and must―awaken the virtue of our compassion for the benefit of our communities, our planet, and our own souls.”

With The New Saints, Lama Rod shares a guidebook for becoming an effective agent of justice, peace, and change. Combining personal stories, spiritual teachings, and instructions for contemplative and somatic practices, he shares inspiring resources for self-exploration and wise action.

The morning with Lama Rod will include an opening ritual, a dharma talk, practice, and space for Q&A with breaks throughout. 

Lama Rod is a Buddhist lama and intersectional thought leader. In his new book ‘The New Saints: From Broken Hearts to Spiritual Warriors’, he shares a call for those who would dream a more just, ethical world into being.
