Yes, the source as determined by google is not that important often times. Although, I was a bit familiar with Esalen from daze of yore and girls of higher (levels of ?) consciousness. I've gone a bit wild these past 6 months and continue to just cut wood (.. last blast before retirement thing although the gov't is cutting my first cheque as we speak!.. ;). This is kind of cool, The grounds of the Esalen Institute were first home to a Native American tribe known as the Esselen, from whom the institute adopted its name.[10]Carbon dating tests of artifacts found on Esalen's property have indicated a human presence as early as 2600 BCE.[11] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esalen_Institute Remember reading Builders of the Dawn bout' intentional communities and the thing that stuck was the successful ones (like Esalen, Findhorn, etc,..) had a charismatic leader who could keep the vision and group together. The extreme democratic ones died in committee. I do have feelings for that counter culture. I was too young and discovered it and the music ten years after. (I suppose my profile here still has T. Roszak I had read much, such a good wordsmith "The Making of the Counter Culture", "Person Planet" and in the profile Investment Philosophy Where the wasteland ends; politics and transcendence in post industrial society lol. Enjoy that trip!.
