Synopsis

Against the turbulent backdrop of the 1960s, a group of psychedelic researchers gathered in a commune in Millbrook, NY under the leadership of Timothy Leary. Dedicated to the attempt to create a society based on peace, love, and LSD, the commune soon found that it was not fully possible to leave the outside world behind. Internal strife and external persecution created tensions that could not be overcome. This is the story of the last days of Millbrook and the remarkable and colorful personalities who created the Psychedelic Revolution and set in motion social changes that have become a regular part of our modern view of life.

À propos de l'auteur

Born in Milwaukee and educated in Boston, Theodore P. Druch went on to take a “higher” degree at Timothy Leary’s LSD commune at Millbrook, NY. He has written about this experience in a “true” novel, Timothy Leary and the Madmen of Millbrook. After his graduation from the Psychedelic Academy, he went on to become a general contractor in San Francisco, mostly remodeling old Victorians. Their houses anyway. At the age of fifty-eight, he and his partner, Maria Ruiz, chucked it all and ran away from home to see the world. They spent ten years traveling to fifty-two countries, and living in several for extended periods. Today, Druch lives in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, where he rekindled an old love of writing. He is an active member of the Puerto Vallarta Writer’s Group, and co-conducts a weekly workshop for serious authors. He was chairman for the 7th Annual PVWG International Writers Conference in February, 2012.
