UWTSD’s Professor Nick Campion discusses the ‘Summer of Love’ on ABC’s Nightlife podcast

Professor Nick Campion of the University of Wales Trinity Saint David (UWTSD) recently appeared on ABC’s Nightlife podcast to explore the cultural and cosmic legacy of the ‘Summer of Love’ in 1967.

In a fascinating discussion with Suzanne Hill titled “Flower power and revolution bloomed in the summer of ‘67”, Professor Campion delves into how this pivotal moment in modern history reflected a deep cultural and spiritual shift, with lasting influence on contemporary thought.

Reflecting on the era, Professor Campion said:

“The Summer of Love was much more than just music and protest. It was a turning point in how people thought about consciousness, spirituality, and the cosmos. Many of the ideas that emerged in 1967 still resonate in the way we view the world today.”

Professor Campion is Director of UWTSD’s unique MA programme in Cultural Astronomy and Astrology, which explores the relationship between the cosmos, culture, and consciousness across time and traditions.
