Location: California's Big Sur Coast
____________________________________
The site is within 3 hours drive of San Francisco Bay Area airports. Big
Sur's unforgettable natural beauty is the ideal backdrop for this course.
The site is secluded yet only 30 minutes from the world-renowned vistas of
Pt. Lobos, Pebble Beach, Esalen Institute and the quaint historic town of
Carmel.

The 55 acre site's unique convergence of Coastal Redwood Forests, Oak
Woodlands & Chaparral ecosystems are complemented by nearby geo-thermal
pools, waterfalls and spectacular coastline. The site is complete with
organic gardens & custom built, "off the grid" facilities featuring a
natural swimming pool w/ privacy sun-deck, sauna and a tranquil creek-side
campground all in a "village festival" setting.
