Dear Robert,

The Esalen Institute Experience
Esalen is a holistic retreat and educational institute. Established in 1962 and 
considered the epicenter of the Human Potential Movement, we are a non-profit

the wilds of Big Sur’s majestic mountainscape and glittering coastline. Our 
curiosity and research explores new ideas around creativity and the brain, body 
work, spirituality, leadership, Gestalt, plant medicine, citizen diplomacy, and 
more.
Esalen is a living and learning community made up of guests, students, faculty 
and staff.

Esalen (Slates) Hot Springs & Swimming Pool
Our cliffside hot springs are a reverent place of relaxation and healing. For 
many, these sacred waters are at the heart of the Esalen experience. As 
co-stewards with the Esselen Tribe of Monterey Country of these special hot 
springs, we place the utmost importance on the baths being both a sacred and 
welcoming place for all. Communal bathing and individual tubs are available on 
a first-come, first-served basis. The Esalen hot spring baths and swimming pool 
are clothing optional spaces.
