RealUGuru Lew: Live from Roxbury NY


   Roxbury NY    (Photo by Doug Kerr)
Although Lewis Harrison is not a middle-of-the-road type of guy, he was standing on the double line of a mountainous Main Street when I first became aware of him.  With megaphone in hand, he was leading some kind of a homegrown revolution. 

Did I mention it was the 60s?

Forty years have passed, and Lewis has now exchanged his megaphone for a microphone.  He can still be heard conducting revolutions (and proclaiming You May Be Right)every Thursday evening from 6 to 7 PM at wioxradio.org (Roxbury NY’s community public station internet stream).

Now you may not live in Roxbury (most people don’t), but Lewis’ universal style makes that almost besides the point.  He tackles everything (and everyone) from King David to The Beatles with philosophical aplomb.  So whether you’re tuning in from Israel or London, his show is bound to be relevant.

When it’s not 6 to 7 PM on a Thursday evening, Lewis is Lord of the Manor (with his lovely wife, Lady Lilia) at the former Uplands Mansion (now The Harrison Center) in Stamford NY.  At this unique Bed and Breakfast, a body can be nourished by the family-style breakfast, a mind can be nourished by the 2,000-book library, and a soul can be nourished by the theological discussions.

If that weren’t enough, RealUGuru Lewis is also an acclaimed author, life coach, polarity therapist, massage therapist, lecturer, workshop leader, and natural-foods expert.  According to his Wikibin biography:  He is best known as an interpreter of Taoist, Shamanistic, and Natural Healing philosophies for a multi-cultural audience.
