Help support Esalen through our Emergency Closure Relief Fund.
Who am I? What is my purpose? What is the most importing thing right now in my life? Have you asked yourself these questions?
Activate your imagination, creativity, and spontaneity. Just as muscles can tighten with stress and age, so can notions about ourselves.
Would you like to reconnect with farmstead traditions and develop your ability to produce and prepare your own food?
Are you burned out, tired, or in transition? What if you had a way to manage your habits, thoughts, and emotions – rather than serving them?
What if one day, you woke up smack in the midst of the human condition with absolutely no need to fix, deny, solve, or transcend anything?
Do you know the difference between intimacy, desire, and eroticism?
