Spring Washam on Deep Transformation

Ever wondered how to spark profound change within yourself and your community? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer chats with Spring Washam, a prominent meditation and dharma teacher based in Oakland, California. Spring is a founding member of the East Bay Meditation Center and the founder of Lotus Vine Journeys, an organization that marries indigenous healing practices with Buddhist wisdom.

Known for her commitment to enriching the lives of marginalized communities, Spring brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the conversation. Eric and Spring dive into the heart of what it means to foster deep transformation. They touch on her book, *A Fierce Heart: Finding Strength, Courage, and Wisdom in Any Moment*, and explore themes like balancing action with contemplation and focusing on what you’re fighting for rather than against.

Spring's insights are both grounding and inspiring, as she discusses the importance of faith, the intelligence of nature, and the necessity of letting go of control. Listeners will find themselves reflecting on the parable of the two wolves, a recurring theme in 'The One You Feed', as Spring and Eric discuss happiness, faith, and the delicate dance between internal and external change. This episode offers a rich tapestry of ideas for anyone seeking to cultivate personal growth and community healing.
