Mother's Day Family Workshop
With Joanna Claassen Ferraro and Sean Brennan
May 10 - 12, 2019
This Mother’s Day weekend, celebrate and nourish yourself and your family. Esalen is a magical place for adults and children alike. We will create a community of families focused on fun, laughter, renewal, and friendship. This will be a memorable weekend of exploration, connection, creative expression, and play. We will build on the group’s interests and offer opportunities for families to work and play together and apart. Esalen will be our playground in which to garden, make music, dance, relax, connect, reflect, and create.
Saturday night, we will offer a program for the children, during which adults will be free to enjoy Esalen alone or spend time with one another. All are invited to explore and experience Esalen during this fun and supportive weekend workshop. All ages are welcome, including parents with small children. All children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Note: Fees for children 10 and under enrolled in Esalen family workshops are $150 for weekend workshops and $300 for five-day workshops. Fees for youth 11-15 enrolled in family workshops are $420 for weekend workshops and $675 for five-day workshops. Parents/guardians pay regular accommodations fees.
