Hi,

I am considering doing the Esalen Work Scholar Program. It's a 3-month long program, where a small group of people work on the property and have access to the amenities.

I have seen mixed reviews about Esalen and want to make sure it is something I actually want to commit to, since I will be there for 3 months. I know it is more of a hippie vibe, but will I be uncomfortable as a young woman travelling here alone?

I would love to hear thoughts from those who have been before/know anyone that participated as a work scholar.

Thank you!
