Description

At Esalen, we believe in the power of our potential -- both in our staff and in our global community of students and faculty who turn to us for transformative learning experiences. More than 50 years ago, Esalen co-founders imagined a place inspired by Abraham Maslow’s psychology of peak experiences and Aldous Huxley’s belief in “human potentialities”, the unrealized capacities of our mind and body. Today we build on this legacy by creating deep connections in a world challenged by disconnection and isolation; reigniting awe and wonder to spark greater curiosity about ourselves and others; and asking the questions that can lead to transformative change both for an individual and society. Esalen isn’t just a place to work, it’s an invitation to help change the world. Esalen provides equal employment opportunities (EEO) to all employees and applicants for employment without  regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, genetics, sexual orientation, gender identity or  gender expression.
