UCLA Fowler museum had a really excellent exhibit on the Sacred Arts of Haitian Vodou in the mid 90s.

You seem familiar. In the summer of 2005 did you take part in FoGuangShan's WOODEN FISH program?

Yes, I was a member of the staff in 2005!

I thought so! I recall you intended to go to San Diego or somewhere else in California to translate sūtras from Chinese. You had a partner whose girlfriend was a filmmaker. She made a film while we were there about the Wooden Fish program.

Great to re-connect on Blue Sky … 20 years later!

Yes, Michael Owens and Holen Kahn.

If you've never seen Holen's finished doc on the 2005 Woodenfish program, here's a link:
