Sleeping Bag Space
All-inclusive for one person in a shared lodging space which includes all classes, meals, tuition and access to the oceanside hot spring baths. Surrender yourself to the natural and restorative beauty of Big Sur. Sleeping Bag Spaces house up to 6 people of all genders with a maximum stay of 7 consecutive days. We cannot guarantee you will be located in the building of your choice as space is limited. Guests are responsible for bringing their own sleeping bag, blanket, pads, pillows, etc. Esalen will provide towels and face cloths. Some Sleeping Bag Spaces do not include a shower, though communal shower facilities are available at the Esalen Hot Springs and private shower facilities are available near the Art Barn. Sleeping Bag Spaces are inaccessible between 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. as they are located in meeting room spaces where Esalen activities—scheduled and unscheduled—take place; access to the room is not permitted while these activities are in process. Note: Due to the shared nature of Sleeping Bag Spaces, service animals cannot be accommodated in Sleeping Bag Spaces. If you require ADA accommodations, please contact us at (831) 667-3000 or info@esalen.org to discuss how we may best support your needs. Choosing shared accommodations means accepting the presence of the sounds of others sharing the space. We encourage all guests in shared accommodations to bring earplugs or noise canceling headphones. We are unable to accommodate requests for no snoring rooms or room change requests due to snoring. If you are a light sleeper or bothered by the sleep sounds of others, please reserve a private accommodation.
