Visitors are now able to access Esalen as well as other businesses and trails in northern Big Sur via twice-daily convoys on Highway 1 operated by Caltrans.
Convoys run only at 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. each day. These are the only opportunities to travel into and out of Big Sur, so visitors must plan accordingly.
A movement artist, wellness activist and author of the book American Detox: The Myth of Wellness and How We Can Truly Heal, Kerri is recognized across communities for politicizing wellness and bridging personal transformation with collective change. With over 20 years experience as a yoga teacher and embodied facilitator, she has been instrumental in supporting healers, activists, organizers, and changemakers in working with the body as a site of healing, power and transformation.
Kerri is known for making waves in the wellness industry by challenging norms, disrupting systems and mobilizing people to act. Rooted in the understanding that our liberation and wellbeing are bound, her leadership has inspired CTZNWELL, a collective that is democratizing wellbeing and actively organizing around issues of racial and economic justice, healthcare as a human right, civic engagement and more.
Her latest project, Movement for the Movement, is a training designed to build resilience, deepen relational capacity, and disrupt the embedded patterns that mirror oppression—even within our movements and healing spaces. Through embodied inquiry, authentic movement and collective expression, we rediscover our power to transform old systems and shape new futures and possibilities.
