Kids' "fire dancing" lesson.
Esalen does year-round art programs for young people and families centered around creativity, music and art. Children's programs are important to us and we strive to create opportunities for families and children to be here together doing creative things and having fun. We also host youth outreach programs like Spirit Awakening Foundation devoted to building the character and raising the self-esteem of youth through the creative arts. Our outreach programs are made possible by donations and grants given to the Esalen Youth Outreach Fund. For more information on how to help with these programs please contact the Friends of Esalen.
