HISTORY

Although the Box review lists a release date of Jan 1973, no theatrical screenings have been verified in the United States other than a 2 Nov 1972 New York preview. The film takes place at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, CA, a non-profit organization established in 1962 as a communal retreat and educational center focusing on meditation, spirituality, art and other mind and body alternative workshops. For additional information on Esalen, consult the entry above for the 1971 film Come to Your Senses.

The review also noted that a fourteen-man crew filmed about eighty hours of footage, which was originally shot in 16mm but blown up to 35mm for the film's release, and lists the credit “Inspired by Dr. William Schutz,” an influential psychologist at Esalen. ...
