Description
Radiance from Halcyon: A Utopian Experiment in Religion and Science
This book tells the story of a little-known utopian community that profoundly influenced modern science. In 1904, the residents of Halcyon invited their neighbors to attend the grand opening of the Halcyon Hotel and Sanatorium, where guests were encouraged to have their hands X-rayed as part of a demonstration of spiritual forces.
The narrative explores the community's unique blend of religion and science, which was influenced by Theosophy. It also delves into the cultural history of this movement, covering topics such as esoteric architecture, Native American concepts of community, and innovative modern music.
