Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed with the division, arguments, and injustices in this country? With so much opposition, how can one person bring about significant change? Lisa continues the conversation today with author Spring Washam who discusses her latest work – an in-depth study of American abolitionist and social activist Harriet Tubman who was born into slavery and faced extremely challenging situations of oppression and injustice. She risked her very life to perpetuate a change and save enslaved people through the Underground Railroad. Spring is also an activist, teacher, and speaker who has practiced and studied Buddhist philosophy in both the Theravada and Tibetan schools of Buddhism since 1999. She is a shamanic practitioner and has studied indigenous healing practices for more than a decade. She is a member of the teaching council at Spirit Rock Meditation Center and also the founder of Lotus Vine Journeys, an organization which blends indigenous healing practices with Buddhist wisdom for transformative retreats in South America. She is the author of “A Fierce Heart: Finding Strength, Courage and Wisdom in Any Moment” and her latest book is “The Spirit of Harriet Tubman: Awakening from the Underground.” Spring is based in Oakland, CA. She is considered a pioneer in bringing mindfulness-based meditation practices to diverse communities including being one of the founding teachers at the East Bay Meditation Center, an organization that offers Buddhist teachings with attention to social action and multiculturalism.
