What better way to mainfest gender queerness than informed by the spiritual pursuit of Buddhism? Scottish-born Jana Drakka settled in San Francisco where she has spent the last 12 years training in Soto Zen Buddhism. She teaches meditation to homeless people and is currently seeking donations to help her dedicate herself to zen teaching. She talks with us about how Buddhism brings peace to the daily struggles of life and shares some of her personal experiences and insights.
