Esalen Institute

Website:
How we relate to sustainability:
"Esalen is a major catalyst in the transformation of humankind, working with individuals and institutions to integrate body, mind, heart, spirit, and community in a nurturing relationship with the environment."
How we relate to inner transformation:
"We look beyond dogma to explore deeper spiritual possibilities, forge new understandings of self and society, and pioneer new paths for change, tracing the arc from change to change agent."
What we offer:
"Esalen exists to serve the world — not as a refuge from it. We believe in the deeply transformative power of this place, recognizing that retreat and refuge must always be, ultimately, in the service of something larger than yourself. So we are organized to give you the tools to unleash latent capacities and re-energize your sense of purpose — for yourself and the world."
What we need:
"Esalen pioneered the exploration and integration of mind, body, heart, and spirit – a concept that was revolutionary more than 50 years ago. Today through our workshops and conferences, leading-edge research, and a reimagined residential education program, we continue to inspire transformation. As a nonprofit organization, your support is essential to Esalen’s future. Please consider becoming a Friend of Esalen today."
