Jean Houston and Mr. Tayer

Thank you to Maryanne Tuite for recommending that I read the following story. This is the way Maryanne presented it to me:

…many years ago, in the 80’s I attended the East Coast conference for Religious Education and the keynote presenter was Jean Houston.  She told this wonderful story.  If you google her name and find one story called: Mr. Tayer you will love it!  Jean was/is a powerful speaker and I always remember that story.  You will too.

 

Jean Houston (born May 10, 1937) is an American author involved in the human potential movement.[1]


Along with her husband, Robert Masters, she co-founded the Foundation for Mind Research.[2]
