INSPIRATION + FLOW: A VINYASA/KIRTAN RETREAT:
Esalen Institute, Big Sur CA

Rolf Gates + GIRISH
February 7th-12th, 2010

Esalen. The word itself summons up tantalizing visions of adventure, of unexplored frontiers, of human possibilities yet to be realized. There is the wonder of the place itself, 120 acres of fertile land carved out between mountain and ocean, blessed by a cascading canyon stream and hot mineral springs gushing out of a seaside cliff.

{Getting to Esalen}

The nearest airport is Monterey Airport, though you can also fly into San Francisco (SFO) and we will gladly help you to arrange a car service (price approx: $)

PASSENGER VAN SERVICE: MONTEREY AIRPORT ARRIVALS

On Fridays and Sundays we have van service from the Monterey Airport at 4 p.m. and from the Monterey Transit Plaza (corner of Pearl and Alvarado, next to Ordway Drug) at approximately 4:20 p.m. If you plan to use this service, please inform the Esalen office by fax at (831) 667-2724 at least 24 hours prior to your arrival. The $60 one-way fee (subject to change) is payable to the Esalen office when you check in. Return reservations may be made at that time. The only departing van service from Esalen is on Fridays and Sundays, leaving between 5:30-6:00 pm and generally arriving in Monterey between 7:00-7:30 pm. If you plan to use this departure service, please make sure that your reservations departing Monterey are after 8 p.m

BY CAR:

From San Francisco or points north, take Route 101 South. At Prunedale, take Route 156 west to the Monterey Peninsula and Highway 1. Take Highway 1 South approximately 45 miles, passing Monterey, Carmel, and Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park. Nepenthe, a popular restaurant located on the ocean side of Highway 1, is 11 miles north of Esalen.

Those coming from the south should take Route 101 north to San Luis Obispo and then Highway 1 to Esalen. We are approximately 100 miles north of San Luis Obispo. When you reach Lucia, a bend in the road where there is a restaurant and motel, you are 10 miles south of Esalen.

From either direction, watch for the Esalen Institute sign on the west (ocean) side of the road.
