Often a big question for us all (especially these days) is: "What’s going to happen?" If you think the answer is “in the cards,” consider the guidance of Tarot Master Guide and creator of The Beauty of Tarot deck, Brenda Rose. As a guest on Esalen Live!, she helped guide host Christine Chen to consider a process of letting go of something... it was a moving moment for all who were watching.
Brenda Rose's workshop at Esalen is March 28 - April 1, 2022.
Esalen has reopened effective Monday, March 27! CalTrans is authorizing local residents and registered guests of Esalen to pass through the Road Closed sign as a “soft” closure is still in place to the north of us, while crews complete road work. A hard closure boundary, meaning no public traffic permitted, is still in effect just south of Esalen.
Please plan to arrive between 2:00pm and 5:00pm. You will need to notify the CA Highway Patrol officer at the closure barricade that you are staying at Esalen Institute. All workshops and programming will continue this week as scheduled.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we manage through these weather challenges, and look forward to welcoming you to Esalen!
