With so many overwhelming challenges facing society today, how can we begin to bring about change? How can we unite in a country filled with opposition and division? Oftentimes, great leaders and pioneers must face extremely challenging situations and oftentimes risk their very lives to perpetuate a change. One such revolutionary was American abolitionist and social activist Harriet Tubman, who was born into slavery. She escaped and risked her life to save nearly 70 enslaved people through the activist network known as the Underground Railroad. Our guest today, author and spiritual leader Spring Washam, dives deeply into the consciousness of Harriet Tubman and explores how we can apply her teachings to the challenges we face today, including overarching division, greed, hatred, and disillusionment. She explains how Harriet fought for true American freedom for all – she stayed focused on forward movement and held a vision of peace. Spring is a teacher, healer, activist, and visionary based in Oakland, CA. She wrote an in-depth exploration of Harriet Tubman’s work in her latest book “The Spirit of Harriet Tubman: Awakening from the Underground.” Spring 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. Spring 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.” Info: SpringWasham.com.
