Finding Liberation through Kinship across Difference
Spiritual Activism
Ocean of Milk draws its name from a myth shared across South and Southeast Asia. In a time of peril, long-divided beings came together to churn the ocean in search of healing nectar.
This myth honors the willingness to engage across difference — not from a place of erasure or forgetting, but from a readiness to try. It holds the tension of collaboration amid unhealed wounds, both past and ongoing.
Ocean of Milk rises from that possibility. We live in the wake of ruptures across race, gender, sex, caste, ability, class, age, nation-states, and more. Alongside these are workplace exploitation, displacement, ecological harm, and other forms of harm.
Ocean of Milk is a space for Spiritual Activism — collaborative labor across differences rooted in ancestral harm, ancestral wisdom, and a longing for repair that weaves through our ancestors, ourselves, and our descendants.

Join Lama Rod Owens for a series of teachings exploring the nature of time through the lens of Mother Vishawamata, the mother of timelessness. In the Kalachakra tradition, the father deity, Kalachakra, represents chronological, linear time, while Mother Vishawamata embodies the transcendence of linear time. While classical teachings often focus on the male deity, this series invites participants to engage more deeply with Mother Vishawamata and her teachings on non-linear time.
