This week's guest on “Report from Santa Fe” is Dr. Ralph Metzner, Sixties cultural icon and author of "Maps of Consciousness," "The Expansion of Consciousness," and "The Birth of a Psychedelic Culture." Metzner worked with Dr. Timothy Leary and Dr. Richard Alpert (now Baba Ram Dass) on the Harvard Psilocybin Project in the early 1960s. Dr. Metzner describes that era and being part of the movement of social transformation that produced the Anti-War Movement, the Civil Rights Movement, Women's' Liberation, the Sexual Revolution, the Ecology Movement and the revolution in the arts.
