Host:
REV. LIÊN SHUTT (she/they) is a recognized leader in the
movement that breaks through the wall of American white-centered
convert Buddhism to welcome people of all backgrounds into a
contemporary, engaged Buddhism. As an ordained Zen priest,
licensed social worker, and longtime educator/teacher of
Buddhism, Shutt represents new leadership at the nexus of
spirituality and social justice, offering a special warm welcome
to Asian Americans, all BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, immigrants, and those
seeking a “home” in the midst of North American society’s
reckoning around racism, sexism, homophobia, and xenophobia.
Shutt is a founder of Access to Zen (2014). You can learn more

Home is Here: Practicing Antiracism with the Engaged Eightfold
Path. See all her offerings at EVENTS
