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.

Airport, though you can also fly
into San Francisco (SFO) and we
will gladly help you to arrange
