Esalen Institute has a rich history serving as both sanctuary and crucible for evolving the consciousness of activists, leaders, and healers. Located on the ancestral lands of the Esselen people, Esalen is renowned not just for it’s offerings, but for it’s profound and natural beauty on the cliffs of the pacific coast where three water sources converge: a fresh-water spring (Porter Springs), mineral hot springs, and the Pacific Ocean. I have been many times and can testify: it is a powerful portal for healing and transformation.
This retreat will be an embodied exploration of the mythical body and what it’s going to take to heal. Guided by my book (American Detox) our journey invites us to challenge the myths that have shaped our reality so that we can move toward personal and collective wholeness. Through dynamic movement, radical inquiry, and creative engagement, we will:
- Unlearn limiting beliefs, inherited stories, and toxic patterns of being and doing. Explore transformative practices that move energy, disrupt patterns, and metabolize trauma.
- Build greater capacity and resilience for the discomfort of change and the uncertainty of (im)possible futures.
- Cultivate an everyday practice of collective care that ensures all of us can be well.
- Reimagine ways of being, doing, surviving, and thriving together.
