Experience the sacred grounds of Esalen in beautiful Big Sur, California! Rest, restore your body, clear your mind, and remember your true nature.

Return to the Truth of Who You Are at Esalen. Step beyond the mind's noise and rest in the unchanging presence that has always been here. In this five-day retreat at Esalen, we won’t seek transformation—we’ll remember what has never been lost. Through the effortless practice of Yoga Nidra, old patterns dissolve, mental noise fades, and the vast, open awareness that you are remains.

There is nothing to fix or achieve—only a deep surrender into your true nature. Yoga Nidra uses the biological sleep process to release stored physical, emotional, and mental tensions systematically. As layers of conditioning fall away, you’ll begin to let go of old beliefs and habitual patterns that keep you locked in the past or fearful of the future. You’ll remember that you are already whole—resting in the unchanging, unshakable ground of Being.

No effort is needed. Just show up, lie down, and let go. The practice will guide you. Join us in the healing embrace of Esalen, where the ocean meets the cliffs, and the self you’ve been searching for is already waiting. Take this felt sense of wholeness into your personal, family, work, and love life

Please bring blankets, a yoga mat, an eye pillow, and anything else you need to lie comfortably on the floor during yoga nidra. Come prepared for an adventure!
