He is an editor, humorist, Esalen lecturer and guerilla ontologist with an avid interest in religion, politics, and human behavior. His mammoth Illuminatus! Trilogy, co-authored with Robert Shea, won the Prometheus Hall of Fame award, and his play William Reich in Hell has been performed at the Edmund Burke Theatre in Dublin.

A New Map of Consciousness
Wilson will tell you about the Dr Timothy Leary he knew -- a man utterly unlike the wacko Leary presented in the corporate media -- and then take you on a tour of the 8 circuits of the brain in Dr Leary's (r)evolutionary theory of consciousness. An excellent prelude to full appreciation of our Saturday night multi-media presentation.

The Universe Contains a Maybe
Join Robert Anton Wilson on an adventure in neurolinguistic programming. Try to learn to sense, feel and think beyond the limits of our either/or culture, and explore the world of Zen and quantum mechanics.

Reiki: The Path of the Cosmic Dancer
This workshop covers the spiritual path of Reiki and Taoism as it can be applied to the changes of modern society. Reiki is a working Majikal path that can work for everyone in this world who is willing to set aside their false ego and get in tune with the present. There are ways to dance with the changes of the Tao, accepting even the negative aspects of life as necessary change and as a learning experience. There will be time for hands-on healing techniques that work for those with and without prior Reiki training, and a guided meditation which will allow people to move into the heart, where their personal paradise exists.
