About Nina Graboi
Nina Graboi (December 8, 1918 – December 13, 1999) was a Holocaust survivor, artist, writer, spiritual seeker, philosopher, and influential figure in the sixties psychedelic movement.
After fleeing the Nazis in Europe and spending three months in a detention camp in North Africa, she and her husband came to America as refugees.
As a close friend and colleague of Timothy Leary's and Richard Alpert's (Ram Dass), she was co-founder and director of the League for Spiritual Discovery's New York Center during the psychedelic era.
The center was the first LSD-based meditation center in Manhattan.
She also worked closely with Jean Houston, Abraham Maslow, Stanley Krippner, and Alan Watts.
