Wes “Scoop” Nisker: The Big Bang, The Buddha, and the Baby Boom

June 11 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm PDT

Free

Join Wes “Scoop” Nisker as he takes us on a hilarious, wild ride through the heyday of the Beats and the Hippies and the birth of the modern environmental movement, and the surge of Buddhism in the West.

Hang on for a Wild Journey through the Political and Spiritual Adventures of the Baby-Boom Generation!

Full of colorful and immediately recognizable figures of art, religion, and popular culture—from Alfred E. Newman to Allen Ginsberg—The Big Bang, the Buddha, and the Baby Boom is a guided tour of both the outer and inner move-ments that have culminated in the growing culture of Western Buddhism—a lasting, vivid picture of how the Baby Boom generation came to be identified with spiritual seeking, how they went about the search, what they have found and created, and what their true legacy is.
