2026-2027 Workshops & Retreats
Esalen Institute is open and some of my programs are open for enrollment. I will be offering SOMA in Bali again in 2027.
Sign Up Soon — Programs fill quickly. You will have more housing options to choose from the earlier you register. If a program is full, consider adding yourself to the waitlist. Experience has shown many people on the waitlist get in. All 2026 workshops at Esalen have been scheduled and are open for enrollment. Thanks for your continued interest during these changing times.
