Chenrezig’s Ring of Fire
A Seasonal Offering with Lama Rod
Next Session: Saturday, February 8th, 2025 from 12pm - 1:30pm ET
Offered for free/ by donation.
Zoom link provided upon registration in email receipt.
Join us each season for a virtual offering of Chenrezig's Ring of Fire practice with Lama Rod Owens.
In this practice, the Tantric deity known in Tibetan as Chenrezig (Sanskrit: Avalokiteshvara) becomes a representation of our own capacity for boundless love, opening a doorway into that love's energy and wisdom. Over time and through practice, we create a direct experience of our own loving qualities which can become one of the most skillful ways to hold space for difficult emotions as they arise. All are welcome!

Ma Tara
A Seasonal Offering with Lama Rod
Save the Date: March 2nd, 2025 from 11am-2pm ET
Through evoking the sacred lineage of Ma Tara, the female Buddha of compassion, we explore the liberating practice of keeping our hearts open in the face of pain, grief, and loss, as well as the joy, beauty, and connection in the world. We will engage in guided ritual and energetic practices that bring us deeper into the energy and healing wisdom of Ma Tara.
Lama Rod has decided to weave the upcoming practice offering on March 2nd into the Sunday Service for New Saints. Stay tuned for future dates and more details!
