Music and Nature Family Workshop
With Doug Dirt Greenfield and The Banana Slug String Band
July 28 - August 2, 2019
Celebrate summer in the land of rejuvenation with the world-renowned Banana Slug String Band. We will use music, theater, puppetry, poetry, arts and games to deepen our connection to this magical earth. The program will culminate in a performance by the budding children stars and the Banana Slug String Band. Together we’ll create a community of families to laugh, connect and renew as we explore dance, harvesting and eating delicious organic food, hiking among the redwoods and stream on the Esalen grounds, a night walk stargazing, parent education workshop and plenty of time to soak in the baths. (Be sure to check out the movement classes offered at Esalen each morning to start your day). Take the time to drop into your sense of wonder and reestablish your loving bond with each other and the earth. This workshop is open to children of all ages. A parent or guardian must accompany participants under 18 years old.
Note: Fee for children 10 and under enrolled in Esalen family workshops is $300 for five-day workshops. Fee for youth 11–15 enrolled in family workshop is $675 for five-day workshops.
