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.
Paul Heussenstamm is a painter and teacher residing in Laguna Beach, California. He began painting full-time at the age of 36 as he discovered his love for mandalas. He has since traveled worldwide conducting "Art as a Spiritual Path" workshops. The mandala has become his signature motif reflecting mystical symbolism, wholeness, and unified energy.
His vibrant sacred art incorporates principles of many religious traditions, among them Buddhism, Hinduism, and Christianity. For him, mandalas open the doorway into the symbolic language of the soul.
