We close out this season of Awaken with a discussion about WildSeed's ideas about the Sacred Economy and how we might build it. We consider how holding the inter-relatedness of all beings might help us transcend the overly rational and mechanistic world views which disenchant us and leave us unable to imagine a world beyond the status quo. Lastly, we talk through some potential models that could help us build sustainable and self-organizing community funds, projects, and services.…

This Season will be all about the WildSeed Society, an awesome new project I'm honored to be a part of. WildSeed is a still-being-birthed collective, but the best way to describe it is that it's a non-denominational church for activists - both in the sense of being a gathering space for those interested in building a more just, liberated, and joyful world to explore the deeper parts of our collective existence *and* as a hub for organizing and resource sharing amongst projects that make direct impact in the lives of our communities.

The title is just as spicy as the conversation. Or not, up to you. As Buddhist teachers and humans looking be awake as they move through the world, Lama Rod and Sebene continue a conversation that riveted an auditorium at NYU a few weeks prior, from sexual ethics to race to much more. This episode was part of the original Awaken App conversations, recorded in 2018. About Lama Rod and Sebene... Sebene Selassie is a teacher, author, and speaker who explores the themes of belonging and identity through meditation, creativity, and spirituality. Born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and raised in Washington, D.C, Seb has been drawn to explore the intersection of different cultures. Selassie, however, found meditation, and started practicing in high school. She was a self-professed "really bad dharma student," until she was diagnosed with stage-three breast cancer at age 34, at which point she became "a really good dharma student." Selassie has now survived breast cancer three times and works as a meditation teacher, transformational coach, and community advocate in New York City.
