In this episode, Wendy speaks with author, Zen priest and Buddhist teacher, *Zenju Earthlyn Manuel.* Zenju's work highlights how the various facets of our identity can become "fertilizer" for growth on the path of spiritual and personal development. This conversation covers many topics, including:
- growing up in the Christian church, and the questions it raised for her;
- her unusual path into Buddhism;
- how to work with your identity while moving beyond the self;
- the truth of interdependence and cause & effect;
- two truths (relative vs. absolute) in relation to identity;
- bringing together spirituality and social justice;
- the central importance of embodiment;
- integration with nature;
- how contemplative science should proceed;
- and the dance between delusion and enlightenment.
