Steeped: A Big Sur Elixir of Sulfur and Sage - Paperback
Description
by Brita Ostrom (Author)
A politically charged memoir from New York City to the counterculture of San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district and ultimately to the Esalen Institute(R) in Big Sur during the late 1960s.
Details the author's experiences with Haight Street's halcyon days, exploring new philosophies and lifestyles, and engaging with figures prominent in the human potential movement. It highlights the shift from conventional small-town existence to a lifestyle centered on self-discovery, alternative relationships, and body awareness in remote wilderness settings. The narrative juxtaposes this personal transformation with the broader commercialization and challenges confronting the burgeoning hippie movement. Touches upon the evolution of personal identity and the interplay between societal norms and individual freedom.
