Quest for Truth: A Conversation with Rod Owens
by Ben Painter and Jon Luke Tittmann
Last summer, two iBme interns set out on a learning journey to discover what mindfulness really is through conversations with leading teachers. They quickly gained a sense of the enormous depth and breadth of the topic as well as some of the foundational practices. When they got to their third and final stop, the questions that interested them most were: How might these practices apply to our everyday lives? Particularly, what are the social implications of mindfulness and lovingkindness?
In pursuits of answers, they visited with Rod Owens, co-author of Radical Dharma: Talking Love, Racism and Liberation and a Buddhist teacher with many years of experience with community service and social activism.

Young adulthood — the time when we are growing into our self-sufficiency, finding our tribes and creating our lives. It is often a time of new experiences, jobs, studies, people — and, increasing responsibility. And it can come with an array of new challenges and changes as we find ourselves needing to step forward, step out, and step up.

I am a huge supporter, student, and lover of the iBme mindfulness movement. I can easily say it changed my life for the better. I went on the iBme teen retreat twice and was fully immersed in those experiences. To this day I continue to practice meditation, yoga, mindful listening, and other techniques with loving intention.
