Waking Up in the Sixties

Adrian Masters arrives at UC Berkeley in 1963, at the beginning of one of the most turbulent and influencial periods of modern American history. Emerging currents of political, cultural and spiritual revolution come together in an unprecedented combination to excite and inspire the rising generation. The war in Vietnam and consequential student protests, the civil rights movement, the sexual revolution, the influx of spiritual teachers from the East, and the flood of interest in psychedelic drugs meet in a transformative confluence that completely changes the lives and values of young men and women. Drawn by the magnetic power of these movements, Adrian struggles to find his own place in relation to them as he discovers another force within himself that leads him toward a completely different way of facing life. When he finds and joins a group of like-minded seekers, he embarks upon a spiritual journey that leads him deeply inward in the midst of the inner forces that drive him and the dramatically changing world around him.
