Moved from Wednesday, December 6th: Dark Pool of Light: Richard Grossinger in Conversation with Daniel Pinchbeck
Join 2 renowned authors for an evening of conversation, readings and author Q & A to celebrate the publication of Dark Pool of Light: Reality and Consciousness: Volume Three.
In books such as Embyogenesis and Embryos, Galaxies, and Sentient Beings, Richard Grossinger brought together the subjects of biological embryology and consciousness as an embodied experience ("The embryo is the universe writing itself on its own body"). In Dark Pool of Light, a three volume series, Grossinger weaves neuroscience-based behaviorism and the phenomenology of "being" and reality together with psychological and psychospiritual views of "that single thing which is most difficult to understand or vindicate: our own existence." All three volumes of the book will be available at the talk and signing.
A native of New York City (1944), Richard Grossinger attended Amherst College and the University of Michigan, receiving a BA in English (1966) and a PhD in anthropology (1975). He is the co-founder and publisher of North Atlantic Books, and author of 2013: Raising the Earth to the Next Vibration, Embryogenesis: Species, Gender, and Identity, Migraine Auras: WhenVisual World Fails, Planet Medicine, The Night Sky, and The Bardo of Waking Life.
Daniel Pinchbeck is the co-founder of the literary magazine Open City, author of Breaking Open the Head: A Psychedelic Journey into the Heart of Contemporary Shamanism and 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl. He is also the co-founder of the website Reality Sandwich and the social network Evolver.net.
