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.



With a background in AI, neuroscience, Eastern religion, and psychology, Dr. Sam Rader has created a new approach to healing and growth called Source Code, where powerful shifts happen fast.
Dr. Sam believes that our early childhood experience writes a source code within us, which determines the rest of the way that our story unfolds. She helps people rewrite their code for a healthier, more beautiful life.
Dr. Sam is the author of Source Code, a forthcoming book from Macmillan Publishers about the 12 Coping Styles we adopt in childhood, which helped us then and hurt us now, and how we can heal. Sam's hope is for the book to be used as an owner’s manual for the Self—to bring positive change in the ways we relate with ourselves and others, and in how we parent our children.
Dr. Sam’s vision is to help us emerge as a collective from the Age of the Wounded Child, so that we can remember who we really are, live from love, and together co-create a more beautiful world.
With a background in AI, neuroscience, Eastern religion, and psychology, Dr. Sam created a new quantum healing modality called Source Code, in which we quickly and gently get to the root of our core issues so we can shift our energy and embodiment and, in turn, our world.
