The next event will host a series of presentations by various speakers on different aspects of Timothy Leary’s life, his ideas, and his influence on the Alternative Culture. Followed by a debate on whether his ideas on psychedelics help or harm the counter culture.
“TUNE IN TURN ON DROP OUT-DATED PARADIGMS”
A TRIBUTE TO TIMOTHY LEARY 10 YEARS AFTER HIS DEATH.
HOST: GOODJEFF LASTER
Talks segment will be in two parts:
1) 10:00-12:00 - “Tim Leary's life, his ideas and his influence on the Alternative Culture:”
SUSANNA LAFOND is a veteran RainBow Warrior and radical activist who helped scatter the ashes of Tim Leary on Glastonbury Tor. Video footage of the event will be presented. She will speak about the growth of the alternative hippie culture and how Leary impacted on that.
FRASER CLARK was the founder of the Zippies and alternative rave clubs who took the best ideas of the hippy movement and merged them with the emerging paradigm of the rave generation, helping formulate a rave consciousness based on techno shamanism. Fraser hosted Tim Leary at his San Francisco alternative rave club Megatripolis and will show how Tim impacted on the rave generation as well as the hippie generation.
BRIAN BARRETT was a legendary character from the Beat Generation who was Tim Leary's best friend in Europe, and has unique insight into Tim Leary's life as well as insightful views about psychedelics. He is author of “THE ROAD OF EXCESS” which chronicles his adventures with Tim Leary.
JOHN HIGGS is the author of an inspiring new biography of Tim Leary called “I HAVE AMERICA SURROUNDED” and will read abstracts from his book, show video footage, as well as take questions about Tim Leary's life and ideas.
JOANNA HARCOURT-SMITH is best known as the 'wife' and companion of Tim Leary. She is also a writer and thinker about spiritual issues and hosts the “META-HISTORY PROJECT”. Joanna will talk about her life with Tim Leary and take questions from the audience.
2) 12:00-1:00 – Synergy Debate: “Tim Leary, Saint or Sinner…?”
Did Tim Leary’s ideas on psychedelics help or harm the counter culture?
The panellists and audience will examine the ideas of Leary in context of the reality of psychedelic drug use by the alternative culture from the 60’s until now. The panel will comprise the previous speakers plus special guest experts on psychedelics and psychedelic usage.
The debate etc will take place in the deep blue arches, which will be hosted by Sangita Sounds.
