Lindisfarne, North Sea's Think Tank

About this episode

Esperanza and Irwin explore the Lindisfarne Association and its impact on cultural history.

Esperanza and Irwin delve deep into one of the most unknown of East End stories. The Lindisfarne Association (1972 -2012) was a nonprofit foundation and diverse group of intellectuals organized by cultural historian William Irwin Thompson for the "study and realization of a new planetary culture". With a cast of characters from the worlds of art, science, religion, poetry and medicine (including Dr. Jonas Salk), the collective brainpower was through the proverbial roof. And all of it on a campground at Fish Cove in North Sea, Southampton. Listening is Believing.
