Our Mission
To gather - in person, in one of the most beautiful places on earth - and provide experiences, tools, stories, support and resources to further the work we know you are already doing to deeply, creatively and intuitively clarify your life's vision and purpose - to integrate your most deeply-held values and priorities into daily life.
To celebrate and honor the wide array of visions each of us carries in our heart and mind. Whether related to business, family, spirituality or anything in between, our aim is to create a circle where it is safe to share, expand and explore what our dreams mean to us and all that is possible when we trust them.
We know there are many opportunities, offerings and venues available to you as you take the deeply personal, profoundly important journey of learning how to listen to the voice in your soul, follow its calling and nurture your most important dreams. We invite you to experience five days in Big Sur with us, where your body, soul and mind will be nurtured by the magnificent beauty of Big Sur and our deep passion for supporting others to do their very best work in the world on every level.
"…Esalen, the magical place at the southern end of Big Sur has hosted everyone from Timothy Leary to Ken Kesey, Ansel Adams…Joseph Campbell, Aldous Huxley and B.F. Skinner...The Institute is not only known for its…hot springs, which are built right into cliffs that hang over the Pacific Ocean, but it also…offers some 500 workshops a year…" ~C Magazine, October 2012
