“I adore Esalen, and mostly enjoy this podcast. The one thing that bugs me is, every time someone talks about romantic partnerships, the show's host talks about his distaste for polyamory.

“Just advertising future Esalen events. Enjoyed Jon Hopkins, but ugh I’d like to explore all that music without slow playing the entire hour again to get the names. Also some tact when referring to scrapping by in the 90s on $14 an hour plus tips. There’s a huge population of the US who’d be happy...”Read full review »

“Esalen seems to be hitching their wagon to CRT ideology, which seems to me a refutation of much of the important knowledge-building that’s been done there over the decades. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.”

“I truly think my favorite part about being alive is hearing from interesting people. It’s clear that Esalen draws so many different kinds of people - it’s not just one type of hippie person that I thought at first - everyone comes from a completely different place and has such a different...”Read full review »
