FREE READING, STORYTELLING and DISCUSSION
with Ralph Metzner on his most recent collaboration with Ram Dass & Gary Bravo

WELCOME TO THE REVOLUTION…

Birth of a Psychedelic Culture, an extraordinary new book, shines a brightlight on the emergence of the sixties culture and the experiments with mind-altering substances undertaken by Professors Timothy Leary, Richard Alpert (Ram Dass) and then-Harvard graduate student Ralph Metzner. Based on a series of conversations between Metzner and Ram Dass and recorded by psychiatrist and author Gary Bravo, this book describes their initial experiments at Harvard, the experiments after they were dismissed from Harvard, their journeys to India and their reflectionson that transformative era.

No understanding of the history of the sixties could ever be complete without a grasp of the work of Leary, Alpert, and Metzner, the cultural resistance to their experiments, and the way in which psychoactive drug use became a part of contemporary society.
