Thank you for a well thought out and researched article. Having had direct experience, I am impressed that the Weekly, as a local independent paper, has demonstrated better real journalism than the New York Times or San Francisco Chronicle on the same material. The article captures the scope, history and significance of Esalen very well while also describing the current stresses as objectively as I've yet seen in print.
A minor clarification; on my point about "karma yoga" I was speaking about the 60s-80s. This was phased out not long after my father's death and roughly in conjunction with the first attempts at limited "upscaling" and remodeling in the late 80s.
