Salon No. 38 With Susan Murphy - How Zen Koans can help us approach Apiculture

In this Salon we are joined by  Dr Susan Murphy Roshi from Australia. Susan is a distinguished Zen teacher with a profound interest in the intersection of Zen practice and indigenous Australian concepts of 'care for country'. For 25 years, she co-led walks in Country with the late, highly respected indigenous Elder, Dulumunmun, Uncle Max Harrison, exploring the deep connections between these traditions. Susan's work emphasizes the transformative power of Zen koans in addressing life's challenges, particularly our duty of care for the Earth. Her latest book, "A Fire Runs Through All Things: Zen Koans for Facing the Climate Crisis," reflects this focus, offering a unique spiritual and philosophical approach to confronting the environmental crisis. Her approach encourages a shift in consciousness, moving beyond purely practical solutions to foster a deeper, more compassionate relationship with our planet. In this inspiring conversation with Susan, we explore how Zen wisdom can help us navigate the complexities of the climate crisis and cultivate a more profound sense of interconnectedness with the Earth.
