THE PROCESSES ACCORDING to ESALEN Using the World’S Greatest Growth Center to Build Your Own Integral Growth Program THE PROCESSES ACCORDING TO ESALEN Using the World’s Greatest Growth Center To Build Your Own Integral Growth Program Hugh & Amalia Kaye Martin P.O. Box 1736 Sebastopol, CA 95473 [email protected] Copyright Hugh Martin & Co. January 2009 The Processes According to Esalen, Page 2 PROLOGUE A REPRIEVE FROM DEATH Hugh Martin remembers his early years at Esalen: “I first discovered Esalen in the Spring of 1965, just three years after its founding. I had been diagnosed with advanced-stage Hodgkin’s Disease lymphatic cancer, and given just two years to live. To make the best of my last days on earth, I had dropped the intensive stress of grad school, and traveled via Berkeley to California’s rugged Big Sur coast in search of a new life. With my young wife (a ‘Joan Baez with curves’) and baby daughter, I settled in a little cabin in the Redwoods, only accessible in mid-winter by an undulating suspension footbridge over a rag- ing stream. From there, my family and I commuted to Esalen Institute, for volunteer work de- veloping the grounds of the new Growth Center. While there, we meshed with the Esalen com- munity, and plunged into the Esalen experience – brutal hotseats with the the infamous Fritz Perls, soul-stripping encounter groups with the tough-but-caring Will Schutz, graceful Tai Chi ballets with Yoda-like Gia Fu Feng, exuberant dance, throbbing drums, soothing sensory aware- ness by the baths, searing acid mind-trips on windy ridge-tops, free sex, savage fist fights, and group hugs. Eventually, as my health and stability recovered, I was offered the position of Esa- len general manager (by Esalen co-founder Dick Price) -- and later, of Perls’ video cameraman – both of which I declined in favor of a life back in the ‘real world.’ Through the influence of Esa- len, of Gestalt Therapy (Gene Sagan), of Reichian Therapy (Gerald Frank), of my third wife Kaye, and of a generous and forgiving God, my cancer completely vanished, and I went on to lead a happy and successful life. For the magic of Esalen, I’m forever grateful – and living proof that it works.” [To continue with Hugh’s personal reminiscences (Thread B), go to The Ballad of Esa-lon, page 8.] Hugh & Kaye Martin [email protected] The Processes According to Esalen, Page 3 HUGH & KAYE MARTIN HUGH MARTIN.

    ESALEN America and the Religion of No Religion By Jeffrey J. Kripal The University of Chicago press, Chicago 60637 Copyright 2007 Jeffrey J. Kripal Transcription by Judy Turnbull 7-18-07 pp. 173-180 from the book for Claudio (bottom of p. 173) Tantric Shamanism of Claudio Naranjo Along with Dick Price, Perls considered Claudio Naranjo to be one of his most gifted successors. Naranjo is a Chilean-born psychiatrist who made his first trip to the States in the early 1960’s for family medical reasons ( his mother needed an eye doctor). While in Boston, he met the psychologist (top of p. 174) FIGURE 14 Claudio Naranjo as Shaman of Thanatos and Transformation. Painting by Antonella Cappucio, 2004 with permission of Claudio Naranjo Frank Barron at Harvard. When Naranjo later won a Guggenheim fellowship, Barron invited him to Berkeley, where he was introduced to the anthropologist Michael Harner. Harner was working on the Jivaro Indians of the Amazon basin and their use of the yage vine as a psychotropic ritual substance. Harner in turn introduced Naranjo to a young graduate student at UCLA named Carlos Castaneda, who was working on similar subjects in Mexico, allegedly with a native shaman named Don Juan. Naranjo and Castaneda would become close friends. Castaneda even claimed that Don Juan had “smoked” Naranjo, that is, seen him in a vision. One of Naranjo’s first visits to Esalen involved a local television station (KRON), which had decided to film Murphy, Perls, Naranjo, Harner, and Castaneda discussing the subject of shamanism just after a seminar with a female Pomo Indian healer.

Thank you, Drs. Christina von Mayrhauser, Sabina Magliocco, and Kimberly Kirner. Each of you has played a significant role in developing and honing my skills and intellect in anthropological thought and, perhaps more significantly, in being a good person. Additionally, I would like to single out two students without whose friendship (more accurately, mentorship) I would not have completed this degree: Victoria Weaver and Kevin Zemlicka. Victoria and Kevin, I am honored to have you as such dear friends. From our mutual experiences in this program, I know that our bond is permanent. Please be prepared to keep assisting me with my many neuroses in the future. To all of those mentioned above, know that you have instilled in me aspects of character, personality, identity (or whatever the hell you want to call it) that will remain with me eternally.

  • His Pen Is Smitier Than the Sword,Tommy Denucci Opens the Vault
    Touching “Randy’s Canvas” to Premiere in September September 18 will see the release of a touching Rhode Island film, Randy’s Canvas. Adam Carbone stars as a young man with autism, facing new dynamics in his personal life. Carbone relayed the genus of the idea and the film’s arduous road to production. With a cast of more than 50, the film allows audiences to peer into this unique landscape. Carbone explains the origin of Randy’s Canvas. “The concept of Randy’s Canvas was created by director Sean Michael Beyer over 10 years ago. Sean brought on writers Matthew Andrews and Kevin G. Schmidt to co-write and really helped make it what it is today. After working with Sean on many other projects, he cast me as Randy against all odds; because he knew I was right for the part. We also ended up shooting it in Rhode Island, which was amazing for the film. (The state) became a character.” Now using a character’s diagnosis – especially one that is (it hurts to say this, but…) “trendy” — currently, a cause celebre — can become a crutch. The misunderstood disease could easily be a tool to manipulate audience’s sympathies. Beyer and Carbone saw these trappings and decided to roll that into the character. Carbone agrees. “The film is really about an aspiring artist who is trying to find his place in the subjective world of art while falling for a taken girl at the same time. The fact that he has autism is almost a side note. (The film) is about an artist who happens to have autism.” Approaching this role was a delicate trek for Carbone.

  • 12 the Cosmic Womb Stan and Christina Grof and the Counsels Of
    12 The Cosmic Womb Stan and Christina Grof and the Counsels of Spiritual Emergence (1973-1987) Finally, as the time of his death approaches he sees a bright light, and being unaccustomed to it at the time of his death he is perplexed and confused. He sees all sorts of things such as are seen in dreams, because his mind is confused. He sees his (future) father and mother making love, and seeing them a thought crosses his mind, a perversity (viparyasa) arises in him. If he is going to be reborn as a man he sees himself making love with his mother and being hindered by his father; or if he is going to be reborn as a woman, he sees himself making love with his father and being hindered by his mother. It is at that moment that the Intermediate Existence is destroyed and life and consciousness arise and causality begins once more to work. It is like the imprint made by a die; the die is then destroyed but the pattern has been imprinted. Saddharma-smrityupasthana Sutra 34 (6th century CE)1 During a session in which he alternately experienced episodes of “good” and “bad” womb, he felt that he developed new insights into the understanding of demons from several cultures—in particular, India and Tibet. He suddenly saw a striking relationship between the state of mind of the Buddha sitting on the lotus in deep meditation and that of an embryo in a good womb. The demons surrounding the peaceful Buddha figure on many Indian and Tibetan religious paintings appeared to him to be representatives of various forms of disturbances 1 Translation by Arthur Waley in Edward Conze et al., Buddhist Texts through the Ages (Oxford: Bruno Cassirer Ltd., 1954) of the intrauterine existence.
