So in order to dismantle it and let our dreams breath we must approach it from an opposing orientation. Fear and love cannot live in the same space, nor can violence and grace.

I am a black woman. And a black woman is also who I am becoming.\u2063<br \/>\n\u2063<br \/>\nWhat I do is simple: I create more space in the wellness industry for those that have been left out. At\u00a0<a class=\"notranslate\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/yogafoster\/\">@yogafoster<\/a>, we offer free and low-cost yoga and mindfulness content for schools. At\u00a0<a class=\"notranslate\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reclamationventures\/\">@reclamationventures<\/a>, we invest in underestimated leaders making wellness more accessible in their communities. I helped start\u00a0<a class=\"notranslate\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mentalhealthleague\/\">@mentalhealthleague<\/a>\u00a0which makes sure no one suffers alone. And now I send daily emails on practicing anti-racism to thousands of you \ud83d\ude4b\ud83c\udffe\u200d\u2640\ufe0f\u2063<br \/>\n\u2063<br \/>\nBut why I do this is all the more simple. Because I am a black woman. I deserve to be here. My breath belongs in my body. My body belongs on this soil. And I deserve to thrive. All of us do. \u2063<br \/>\n\u2063<br \/>\nBlack lives don\u2019t just matter. We are this country\u2019s heart, lungs and blood. We were forced to breathe life into this nation and this nation consistently tries to take it away. Protecting our right to be well starts with dismantling this system while we imagine a new one where no one can take our breath away. \u2063<br \/>\n\u2063<br \/>\nI\u2019m not telling a single black person to do anything right now because we\u2019ve been told enough. For everyone else, I need you to join this fight like your breath depended on it. Because mine does. So does the breath of my ancestors and my generations to come.\u2063\u2063<\/span>&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/lamarodowens\/\">Lama Rod Owens<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CA2BKeZAqnY\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-237676\" src=\"https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/alam-rod-there-is-no-neutral-768x769.png\" alt=\"lama rod\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/alam-rod-there-is-no-neutral-768x769.png 768w, https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/alam-rod-there-is-no-neutral-992x994.png 992w, https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/alam-rod-there-is-no-neutral-185x185.png 185w, https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/alam-rod-there-is-no-neutral-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/alam-rod-there-is-no-neutral.png 1196w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Resources from Lama Rod Owens:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Pre-order Lama Rod&#8217;s upcoming book, &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/books\/love-and-rage-the-path-of-liberation-through-anger-9781623174095\/9781623174095\">Love and Rage<\/a>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Purchase and study &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/radicaldharma.org\/\">Radical Dharma<\/a>&#8220;, co-written with Rev. angel Kyodo williams (above)<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Read his piece, &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lionsroar.com\/protest-is-my-spiritual-practice\/\">Protest is my Spiritual Practice<\/a>&#8221; in Lion&#8217;s Roar<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Listen to his interview, &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/siriusxm-news-issues\/lama-rod-buddhist-teacher-making-good-white-people-understand-their-whiteness\">Making Good White People Understand their Whiteness<\/a>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Join his Medicine Buddha Practice <a href=\"https:\/\/us02web.zoom.us\/j\/88644422436\">Mondays at 7p<\/a> (donations welcome <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lamarod.com\/donate\">here<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Learn more about Medicine Buddha Practice <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/18ZDlNr8bnCcwupDH5LXn4XYaXSPURs80\/view\">here<\/a> (text) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Jucg_ENRSw4\">here<\/a> (video)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt wouldn\u2019t be an overstatement to say that the discovery and assertion of Siddhartha Gautama, the historic Buddha\u2014that every human being, irrespective of caste, race, creed, or birth has within them the potential for waking up to the ultimate nature of reality\u2014is one of the most radically life-altering propositions for human life on and in relationship to the planet. One that we need right now.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, at this time when the Dharma is needed more acutely than ever\u2014a time when our very existence is threatened as a result of our socially embedded greed, hatred, and ignorance\u2014its expansive potential to liberate us from suffering is in danger of being rendered impotent because it is held in subjugation to the very systems that it must thoroughly examine&#8230;Much of what is being taught is the acceptance of a \u201ckinder, gentler suffering\u201d that does not question the unwholesome roots of systemic suffering and the structures that hold it in place. What is required is a new Dharma, a radical Dharma that deconstructs rather than amplifies the systems of suffering, that starves rather than fertilizes the soil of the conditions that the deep roots of societal suffering grow in. A new Dharma is one that insists we investigate not only the unsatisfactoriness of our own minds but also prepares us for the discomfort of confronting the obscurations of the society we are individual expressions of. It recognizes that the delusions of systemic oppression are not solely the domain of the individual. By design, they are seated within and reinforced by society. We must wake up and cut through not only individual but also social ego. This is not only our potential, but we now each have it as our collective responsibility&#8230; there is no neutral.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/zenchangeangel\/\">Rev.
