Full Job Description

At Esalen, we believe in the power of our potential - both in our staff and in our global community of students and faculty who turn to us for transformative learning experiences. More than 60 years ago, Esalen co-founders imagined a place inspired by Abraham Maslow’s psychology of peak experiences and Aldous Huxley’s belief in “human potentialities”, the unrealized capacities of our mind and body. Today we build on this legacy by creating deep connections in a world challenged by disconnection and isolation; reigniting awe and wonder to spark greater curiosity about ourselves and others; and asking the questions that can lead to transformative change both for an individual and society.

Esalen isn’t just a place to work, it’s an invitation to help change the world.

OVERVIEW

This role is a key position in the Esalen kitchen. As a full-time culinary team leader, you will supervise the daily production of meals for the community (guests, staff, faculty) in our teaching kitchen. You will also assist the kitchen management in supporting the kitchen’s daily operations. This role requires shift work. The Lead Cook reports to the Executive Chef and is located on property in Big Sur.

Ensuring at least one kitchen manager or staff person is present in the kitchen at all times of the shift
