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.

Patrick brings reverence, humility, and playfulness to the classroom and massage sessions. He taught yoga, massage, and anatomy in the Bay Area for many years before relocating to Washington state’s San Juan islands. He and his family fill their days exploring the abundant beauty of the Pacific Northwest.
