Esalen is a creative laboratory, an incubator of human potential asking the daring and curious questions that traditional university and religious institutions can’t and/or won’t. 1962 marked the beginning of this extraordinary journey — an adventure of minds, bodies, spirits and souls — where Michael Murphy and Richard Price, young Stanford graduates who were inspired by the ideas of Abraham Maslow and Aldous Huxley, together founded Esalen, the birthplace of the human potential movement.
Today, more than six decades later, Esalen is a world renowned holistic learning and leading global retreat center for guests and faculty to explore and realize their human potential through experience, education, and research. Public workshop and private conference programming pushes our growth edges closer toward collectively living in a more just, creative, and sustainable world.
