In-Person and Online: Honoring the Grieving Heart

In-Person and Online: Honoring the Grieving Heart

with Lama Rod Owens

Sunday, November 9th, 2025 | 10:00am – 5:00pm ET

In-Person Location: New York Insight at 115 West 29th Street, 12th Floor

We are living through a period of apocalypse, a chaotic period of truth telling and unveiling. Many of us are struggling to make sense of the impact we are experiencing in our personal lives, relationships, and in our communities.

To move through this period, we must rely on our capacity to grieve, to touch into the sadness of change and loss and tend to it with compassion. In this compassion, we can allow our hearts to break and in the breaking be held by the understanding that we are not alone in this grieving.

Once we allow ourselves to be in relationship with our grief, then it can begin to teach us how to move through sorrow and hopelessness into clarity and connectedness. Yet most importantly, our relationship to grief through compassion opens the space for joy and gratitude.

Join Lama Rod for a mid-autumn offering to yourself and your communities as the seasons change and the year comes to a close. Through evoking the sacred lineage of Ma Tara, the female Buddha of liberatory compassion, we will explore this liberating relationship with grief through guided ritual and energetic practice in order to open and resource our hearts to keep moving on.
