A refreshing balance

I’ve been listening to the show for at least a year now and it does not disappoint – ever! Dr. Pierce Salguero guides the conversation down fascinating byways that reveal the nuances of Asian religious and healing traditions. Even more valuable is his attention to the varying epistemological and ontological perspectives that shape how his scholarly and more practice-oriented guests understand these complex and beautiful traditions.
