Chang Tzu“Welcome to The Ancient Wisdom Experience.”
The motel in northeast Portland was packed with forty soon-to-be neophytes of the four day Ancient Wisdom Experience.
The motel in northeast Portland was packed with forty soon-to-be neophytes of the four day Ancient Wisdom Experience.
There were psychologists, naturopaths, chiropractors, masseuses, a retired Brooklyn Jewish woman, an ex-call girl, a lot of good lookers who got even better looking by Sunday, three carpenters, a milkmaid, some artists, counselors, some wives and soon to be ex-wives, an Aikido master, many who could not speak in front of a group, some who became stand-up comics to the group, spiritual flytraps, distractors, pleasers, an analyzer, vegans, a virgin, a couple of smokers, some with little money, and some who were there as a gift.
Everyone stared at IAM Talisman from San Francisco, California, and MA, his female co-trainer. Attendee’s paid $375 for two long evenings and two full days of techniques to transform there lives using ancient practices and new age psychology.
The goal was to uncover, recover or create wisdom from within and bring peace to the planet.
It was the fall of 1981.
