Visitors are now able to access Esalen as well as other businesses and trails in northern Big Sur via twice-daily convoys on Highway 1 operated by Caltrans.
Convoys run only at 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. each day. These are the only opportunities to travel into and out of Big Sur, so visitors must plan accordingly.
East Forest is a multidisciplinary artist, producer, and ceremony guide. His work explores living authentically within a modern context by weaving together elements of electro-acoustic live music, nature, technology, brain science, and guided meditation.
His "ceremony-concerts" utilize a skilled mostly instrumental repertoire to create space for an emotive inner journey; the catalog includes over 30 albums, including 2019’s album-length collaboration with spiritual pioneer Ram Dass, the 5-hour-long psilocybin soundtrack "Music for Mushrooms: A Soundtrack for the Psychedelic Practitioner," and collaborations with artists Jon Hopkins, Typhoon, Laraaji, Dead Prez, Nick Mulvey, Peter Broderick, DJ ANNA, and more.
He offers meditations, retreats, a weekly podcast (Ten Laws w/ East Forest), Patreon, and talks. Institutional collaborations range from working with Google and Johns Hopkins neuroaesthetics project, UCSF, Consciousness Hacking, TED, Field Trip Health, Numinus, and he is the co-founder of JourneySpace.com.
East Forest is an internationally known teacher and composer with millions of listeners. His works and collaborations include Ram Dass, Google, Johns Hopkins, TED, UCSF, and the Yale Psychedelic Science Group, among others.
