Featured Cuke Archives page

Adam Beck was living at Tassajara before the SF Zen Center bought it in December of ‘66 from his parents. He was two at the time. He’s an artist now living in San Anselmo. I’ve known him through the ensuing years, so we’ve got a lot to say to each other, and he’s got a lot to say about Tassajara, Suzuki, Baker, and more in this podcast. Also, at first I apologize for an error in the prior Beginner’s Mind podcast.
