Retreats:
Esalen Institute
The Esalen Institute was founded in 1962 as an alternative educational center devoted to the exploration of what Aldous Huxley called the "human potential," the world of unrealized human capacities that lies beyond the imagination. Esalen soon became known for its blend of East/West philosophies, its experiential/didactic workshops, the steady influx of philosophers, psychologists, artists, and religious thinkers, and its breathtaking grounds blessed with natural hot springs. Once home to a Native American tribe known as the Essalen, Esalen is situated on 27 acres of spectacular Big Sur coastline with the Santa Lucia Mountains rising sharply behind.

Harbin Hot Springs
Harbin Hot Springs is simply a beautiful place to be... over 2,000 acres of privacy, surrounded by many more acres of undeveloped woodland. Miles of hiking trails lead you on an adventure of the senses. Streams supply the background music. Moonlight and stars provide direction at night. Silence abounds. And then there's the water. Large soaking pools let you enjoy the waters as they come from Mother Earth... very hot, soothingly warm, or breath-takingly cold. Thanks to a state-of-the-art filtration system, even the large swimming pool contains absolutely no chlorine. We regard these pools as sanctuaries, and encourage silent meditation and quiet togetherness. Sprawling redwood sun decks, like the entire pool area, are au naturel. They welcome sunning, soaking and swimming with or without swimsuits.
