Come now, I love that you know about all this stuff and as someone who used to order Esalen catalogs as a teenager, I share your fascinations—but this is an extreme stretch. These guys aren't doing orgone therapy, rebirthings, or (heaven help us) immortality. Also, it's a category error to conflate Wilhelm Reich, Leonard Orr, and Stan Grof—three completely different figures. Totally agree about the fascination of Reich, though—he is unsummarizable.
