Comments on James' review of Esalen Institute
Description: The Esalen Institute was founded in 1962 as an alternative educational center devoted to the exploration of what Aldous Huxley called the "human potential," the world of unrealized human capacities that lies beyond the imagination.
A place that calls to you
Esalen is the most beautiful place I have ever been. Beyond natural beauty, which it certainly has its share of, there is a beauty of serenity and purpose that has a special place in my heart, mind and soul. Esalen, named for the Essalen Indians who lived on this land for hundreds of years, is a place to come for no reason at all, or because of the most important reasons you can imagine. Amory Lovins has called it an accupuncture point on the planet, and many believe that the space between the worlds is thinner on these 27 acres of the magnificent Big Sur coastline. Leading global teachers on topics from art, to psychology, to relationships, career development, spiritual evolution and more, come year-round to Esalen. The guests, also known as "seminarians" enjoy a peaceful retreat with great food, incredible hot tubs hanging on a cliff above the Pacific, and the invitation to challenge themselves and explore their own potential. You'll meet friends for life here. I met my wife.
