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.

The world has turned upside down — and woken us up. Stunned by a pandemic carrying grief and loss, we are seeing existing excesses of inequality, climate change, and political hostility with new eyes. It’s a time of danger, opportunity and revelation. The call is out for each of us to play our part. It’s time to access our wisest selves to redeem the world, nothing less.
This weekend, you will dive deep to meet and listen to your inner wisdom, and then explore tools to act on it. You will (re)discover what you are here to do, right now, at this time of unprecedented turbulence — and transformation. We each hold a piece of the puzzle. Without it, there is a hole in the fabric of life. It’s time for all of us to show up, no exceptions, and make the difference we came here to make. To be agents of change for the common good.
Susan Collin Marks and John Marks, Peace Ambassador and Founder of Search for Common Ground, will be your guides. Search grew out of meetings at Esalen in the early 1980s, and together they built it into the biggest peacebuilding nonprofit in the world with 600 staff working in 30 countries. They will offer you what they have learned as agents of change in some of the most conflictual places on the planet. You will take away with you a renewed sense of your own capacity and abiding wisdom, as well as practical principles for implementing the social change that is needed right now.
Search was nominated for the Nobel Peace prize.
