Black Beryl

Zen Chaplaincy, Activism, and Scholarship, with Wakoh Shannon Hickey

Dr. Pierce Salguero & Dr. Lan Li Season 1 Episode 3

In this episode, I sit down with my friend Wakoh Shannon Hickey, who is a Soto Zen priest, hospice chaplain, scholar, and activist. We talk about Wakoh’s early experiences with social violence in the 1980s, her work as a hospital chaplain, and her 2019 book Mind Cure, which is a groundbreaking social history of religion and mindfulness in the U.S.
