We Can’t Escape Ourselves w/Minna Jain

Join host Ned Buskirk in conversation with Minna Jain, a disabled/non-binary/, artist/writer, plant/bee steward, & racial equity educator training as a Sōtō Zen Buddhist priest, as they talk about ghosts & monsters, drinking tea & whiskey in conversation with death, & living after almost dying.
