#152 To be grounded in memory and story (with Dr Amy Thunig)

Alicia Zhao and Joannie Lee are joined by artist, Dharma practitioner and co-founder of the Inner Fields collective - Elaine Su-Hui. Together they share a reflective chat on their relationships with Buddhism, what it is to come to a politicised reclamation of spirituality, decolonise Western appropriations of faith, and turn towards a practice that doesn't bypass injustice - but faces it with courage and loving action.
