The Esselin Institute, located on the edge of the country overlooking the Pacific Ocean, offers a blend of psychological, philosophical, and spiritual teachings. Established in 1962, it became the center for the human potential movement. Visitors can partake in workshops on tantric yoga or indigenous plant medicine, although it comes at a high cost. Originally more affordable and attracting seekers and hippies, it now offers luxury accommodations at high prices. The institute's location on the edge of the continent symbolizes its openness to exploring different dimensions, the nature of reality, and consciousness.
