Has anyone actually gone through the 28 day Esalen training? I was wondering what type of accommodations you receive for the fee and how physically intensive the training is.

Hi Donna,
You can read what I wrote in response to Kelly's inquiry, and Heidi's supportive words. The Esalen DVD is beautiful, giving a view of the majesty of Big Sur and the Esalen grounds and baths, and imparts much of our philosophy and gives a good overview of our practice. You can purchase this DVD from the Esalen Bookstore, from www.movingventures.org, At Peace Media, and maybe from Robin.
From The Moving Path...right now in Bali, training Indonesians and a variety of Westerners and Asians in Esalen Massage & Essential Touch.

Come to either Esalen or Bali for a full residential immersion. Both have their own magical energy. We also offer a variety of somatic arts programs in Bali throughout the year. visit:www.movingventures.org to read about it. 2010 28 day certification is March 13-April 10...still time to get here and join!
2011, will be approximately March 7-April 5, followed by four, 6 day Advanced or Specialized Esalen trainings. A student can participate in all of these and receive 140 hours of CEU's and credit toward their 500 hr. Esalen Certification.

Magic abounds at both venues, where the natural world influences life on land, and supports the flowing nature of our practice: Esalen Massage. xoellen
