In this spiritual coming-of-age memoir, Jim Gilkeson takes the reader on a storyteller’s journey into three now non-existent subcultures of spiritual and social experimentation in the U.S. and Northern Europe.
Told in a series of short interlocking vignettes spanning the years from 1949 to 2015, Gilkeson traces his unlikely path from his conventional upbringing in the Midwest, down the psychedelic rabbit hole of the late 1960s, to his years as a brother in an order of modern mystics and a practitioner and teacher of energy healing at a clothing-optional retreat center.
