Professor Dana Sawyer, who has been working with the Esalen Institute (located in Big Sur, California) for many years, will discuss new directions in consciousness expansion and spiritual life, while also showing clips from a new film series about Esalen entitled "Supernature."  Come hear a fascinating update about the crucible where the movement for consciousness expansion began and where primary studies in alternative psychology and spirituality still continue.
