Wendy Johnson: Planting Life and Growing the Seeds of Persistent Culture

Sensei Wendy Johnson kicks off Upaya’s Planting Life 2022 with this talk on disintegration, growth, and persistence. “When human codes and established organizing principles are no longer valid, then only disintegration may allow for a more adaptive and resilient sense of inner-being to emerge from calamity.” With these words, Sensei Wendy Johnson, author of Gardening at the Dragon’s Gate, implores us to recognize that just as a seed must break open and breathe the open air to grow, we must, as individuals and as societies, allow our sufferings to speak in order to transform.
