Both have supported and volunteered their time to Esalen over the years. Ken writes, “Esalen holds a very special place in my heart and in my soul, as I imagine it does in yours. I have had a forty-two year love affair with Esalen as a student, seminarian, resident, teacher, guest, friend and financial contributor. And I can say without a doubt that Esalen Institute is the most healing, stimulating, sacred environment that I have ever experienced.”  Maddy and Ken have been married for 29 years and have two children – Casey 25 and Zak 22.  They live in the San Francisco Bay Area.
