San Francisco, California
“Attendant upon the release of Process Media’s fascinating volume on the storied SoCal commune, The Source: The Untold Story of Father Yod, Ya Ho Wa 13 and The Source Family, we welcome authors Isis Aquarian and Electricity Aquarian, editor Jodi Wille, and ex-members of that Family in the flesh! The group grounds a 2 hr. audio-visual survey of the life and times of this seminal ‘60s/‘70s countercultural force in Los Angeles spirituality, music, and lifestyle (their famous restaurant The Source). A slideshow and a rare peek at family home movies and 70s cable access video clips, and numerous Ya Ho Wa 13 musical selections serve as springboards for anecdotes, discussion, and Q&A. OC fave Erik Davis, who wrote the book’s introduction, opens the show with prefatory remarks, framing the cult’s activity within his Visionary State cosmology. With Isis, E, Om-Ne, and others.
