Psychedelics, Culture, and Consciousness with Ralph Metzner
Oct 20 2010
Ralph Metzner will read from and discuss his three recent books, all published within the past year: 1) Birth of a Psychedelic Culture - Conversations about Leary, the Harvard Experiments, Millbrook, and the Sixties, co-authored with Ram Dass and Gary Bravo; 2) Alchemical Divination - Accessing Your Spiritual Intelligence for Healing and Guidance, which describes the practices Metzner has developed and teaches in his workshops; and 3) Mind Space and Time Stream - Understanding and Navigating Your States of Consciousness, a distillation of the courses on altered states that Metzner taught for twenty years at CIIS.
Ralph Metzner, PhD, holds degrees from Oxford University and Harvard University. He has been involved in the study of transformations of consciousness ever since he worked with Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert (later Ram Dass) on the Harvard Psilocybin Projects. He co-wrote The Psychedelic Experience, and was editor of the Psychedelic Review. He authored Maps of Consciousness, one of the earliest attempts at a comparative cartography of consciousness; and Know Your Type, a comparative survey of personality typologies, ancient and modern. He maintains a part-time psychotherapy practice, and conducts numerous workshops on consciousness transformation, nationally and internationally.
