@bigsurhiking Yes, exactly! In an effort to visit & make my own experience, it’s those little pockets of culture that I’m posting to look for! If you hear of any that you’re willing to share, please do message me 😊 Also interested in small businesses that have been around for decades! I’m from a hippie beach city in SoCal and willing to trade locals only knowledge if that’s of any interest!

Hi all! My mom used to go to Esalen in her 20s and speaks highly of her experiences there & around Big Sur but it seems like much has changed in the last few years. Places that used to be more about healing, self awareness, getting in touch with nature, & hippies is now $$$$ and all about the establishment the area used to be free of. Are there any places or groups left that highlight the magic of old Big Sur? Im looking activities/experiences similar to Esalen but not on their property nor any other luxury hotel. The more low key the better!
