About this listen

Carolyn "Mountain Girl" Garcia, the legendary godmother of the hippie counterculture and former wife of Grateful Dead’s Jerry Garcia, has been called the “it girl of the nascent psychedelic underground.” Tune in, turn on, and drop your jaw as Mountain Girl shares stories from her incredible lifetime of adventures as well as wisdom for the psychonauts of today. 

From showing up as a stranger on Timothy Leary’s doorstep at age 17 to sampling ibogaine alone in a lab at Stanford at age 19 to playing a pivotal role in the Merry Prankster’s infamous Acid Tests of the 1960s, Mountain Girl regales listeners with tales of the early days of The Grateful Dead, raising daughters with Ken Kesey and Jerry Garcia, and experiencing her own mind-expanding growth with psychedelics.
