Dates/Locations of The Seed's Growth & Decline

Hi all,

I was in The Seed in St. Petersburg in 73. I have been surfing through the posts attempting to get a timeline of the Seed's growth and decline. Does anyone have the dates and locations, such as the dates when it all started with just a first people meeting at Art's place? Was Ft Luaderdale the first one opened? Or was it St Pete? I get a little confused with all of the posts. I was only in The Seed a few months before my parents pulled me out of there to move to California. I assume there is an article in here somewhere with this info?
Thanks!

Welcome Danielle.  the answers to all those questions are in this forum.  I too was in the Seed St Pete in 73.

I would suggest you scroll thru the topics.  The seed just officially closed several years ago, and the start of the seed, according to Art's folklore was on his boat in Miami. We can document that there was a house, in 1971, in Ft Lauderdale, where people kind of came and went freely.

By the time you and I were put in, it was vastly different, and then several years later it started reverting back to a more open type program but retained the kooky "love" and motivating and confessionals, isolation, Art Barker worship, required devotion, rejection of outsiders, etc.  All the stuff that made it a cult.

Spend some time looking around and then post any questions you may have. In order to answer your specific 'date' questions, I would have to do what you need to do..dig in and pull the numbers out of this forum.

Is Art Barker still alive?  Just curious.  I saw the photo of him that was dated 2002 and was wondering if he was still kicking.

yes Art is still alive - although in frail health

I wonder how many people would like to urinate on Art's grave?
