Esalen

There’s the wonder of the place itself, 120 acres of fertile land perched between mountain and ocean, with hot mineral springs gushing out of a seaside cliff. The delicate Big Sur air of a late May afternoon, the midnight mist of July, the drenching February rain. There are October nights so clear the Milky Way lights your walk along the darkened garden path. And always, the sound of the sea, reminding you you’re one part of something much bigger.
