How lovely to hear that the Spirit of Esalen still lives...
Bravo!
Thank you so much for this.
Even though I cannot get there, I appreciate that my friends & community members are welcome in this time of need.

Thank you Patrick and all the folks who remain on property. I thoroughly enjoyed all seven visits to Esalen in the past 15 months. My best wishes for a recovery from this winter season. From Dan Phelps' mom.
Bravo to E-Land !!!
