The Marsh present Wes “Scoop” Nisker’s Crazy Wisdom Saves the World Again. In his widely acclaimed show, Nisker explores the foolish human condition and the joys and sorrows of living in the modern age. He reveals the secrets of the Big Bang and anti-matter, explores the issues of empire, species extinction and global warming, exposes the true heart of the New Age spiritual movement and offers us the relief and laughter that only such vast perspectives can bring. His book, of the same name, based on the monologue, has just been published by Stonebridge Press.
Nisker is well known in the Bay Area as an author, radio commentator, Buddhist meditation teacher and performer. For the past 15 years he has been leading his own retreats and workshops in Buddhist insight meditation and philosophy at venues all over the world. He is an affiliate teacher at the Spirit Rock Meditation Center in Woodacre, California.
