Ahhh!!

The Esalin Institute. I knew I had heard it somewhere

u/Entropick - this is the same organization that Lee Holden guy is involved in.

Yes, it's in Big Sur, not far south of San Francisco. Many years ago I got invited there for the famous hot tubs on cliffs above the surf but didn't know I'd be expected to get naked in mixed company. Yaosuh! It was my first time. The presenter (of Joe Rogan Exposed) did a whole lot of research and I hope he's not just hot-dogging us. I don't think he is. He made a lot of different things fall into place, eh?

Definitely.

I had heard Jay Dyer mention Esalin before - as well as I think, Josh Reeves... rarely talked about, similar to Tavistock or Laurel Canyon.

I'm listening to Jay Dyer right now. Esalen was one of their think tanks for sure. We're starting to make connections. Tavistock was at Stanford, not very far at all from Esalen. Both are about an hour from San Francisco. And Hunter S. Thompson worked for Esalen way back. That little factoid is on the Esalen.org website. I guess they helped create the Haight-Ashbury and the Summer of Love.
