STEVE TAYLOR: Across the Universe: The Magic and Mystery of the Beatles

Psychologist (and ex-musician) Dr. Steve Taylor explores the secrets of the Beatles extraordinary creativity and cultural impact.

He explains how and why they were so prolific and evolved so rapidly, with reference to their 'group mind' and 'group flow,' and their spontaneous unconscious inspiration. He also explains how meditation caused an explosion of creativity in the Beatles, but also led to their break up.

Using his guitar and keyboard, Steve will illustrate his talk by playing and singing segments of songs such as 'Please Please Me,' 'Eight Days a Week,' 'Tomorrow Never Knows,' 'Across the Universe,' 'Hey Jude' and ''Julia.'

This is a great opportunity to understand and appreciate the genius of the Beatles anew.
