Managing Expectations
Please carefully read the information below to determine if applying to produce a conference at Esalen Institute is synergistically right for your organization.
- Please note that workshops and Esalen-curated events take priority when scheduling our events each year. This means very few dates are available for outside conferences. Flexibility in your schedule is key and a spot is not guaranteed.
- Conferences may be booked over the following timeframes:
- Friday – Sunday (3 days / 2 nights)
- Monday – Friday (5 days / 4 nights)
- Monday – Sunday (7 days / 6 nights)
- We can not allow exceptions to these timeframes as they ensure the day-to-day functioning of Esalen’s regular schedule is upheld.
- A copy of your organization’s proposed event schedule must be provided no later than one month prior to your visit. Your programming will need to accommodate Esalen's fixed meal times, and take service hours for our Healing Arts department into consideration if your attendees wish to book massages or alternative sessions.
- Full payment is required regardless of participant cancellations or for not being fully booked.
- All transportation to and from Esalen is the responsibility of the host organization.
If you feel your organization’s needs can be met given these criteria, please submit an application to host a conference at Esalen Institute! One of our Program leads will be in touch soon regarding your application.
