CONTENT WARNING: **This episode is not suitable for young children and may not be suitable for audiences sensitive to discussions of war or abuse. All content has been left unedited to preserve the guest’s story.**

 In this episode of Zen Tuna we meet Dr. Susan Josephson! We’ll talk about her upbringing in 1940s Germany, her family’s immigration to the U.S., and her personal journey towards Buddhism and the Rasa theory of bliss. While this is a heavy hitter for many, Susan’s story will be preserved as a reminder that the past is not so distant— and the future is not so different unless we make a change.

In the first ever Zen Tuna interview we meet Seth Josephson, a second generation Buddhist and fellow lover of community. We’ll talk about what “zen” is— and what it’s not! Come for the education, stay for the lovely conversation with one of my favorite people!

Welcome to the second episode! We’ll dive into what peace is, as defined by some of the major world religions and spiritual practices. There’s also a nice waking meditation which can be enjoyed from anywhere safe to do so!

Hello and thanks for checking out the podcast! This is an intro episode that will dive into the origins of “Zen Tuna” and give you an idea of what to expect— it should be mentioned that the audio does get much better as the show goes on!
