Charlie Wilson

In 2012, Charlie Wilson founded an audio archival company called Engage Wisdom, with the aim of preserving and sharing the audio archive of his teacher, Tenshin Reb Anderson, and eventually offering this technology to Zen Centers and audio archives around the world. In 2014, through the support of Cuke Archives, Engage Wisdom digitized 271 Suzuki Roshi reel-to-reel masters that had been created by Mark Watts.

Engage Wisdom has embarked on digitizing over 11,000 SFZC lecture audio tapes and has digitized many other collections. Cuke also sponsored his digitizing 600+ Richard Baker tapes, and he did the 1966 LSD Conference tapes for Baker.
