Beautful meditation - the visualization about the land and the land acknowledgement were especially moving to me, an indigenous person in a former colony (The Philippines).

I've been experiencing a few days of just complete emptiness - hollow. I couldn't feel anything. The clouds have lifted / are lifting and your voice was so reassuring. Had tears during this practice - felt good to just feel something.

Lama Rod is such an accessible, strong, and stable voice. A guiding light toward love and nonviolence. I’m grateful for his presence, wisdom, and connection to the universe.

Lama Rod Owens is doing amazing work. Very few are talking about patriarchy and he is bringing it into this spiritual practice

Great pace re. grounding and guiding contemplation and recognition of land and time for silent practice, all without a sense of hurriedness in the space of ten minutes.
