Tub Talks is the podcast born out of the global community Secular Sabbath, directly sourced from the founder Genevieve Medow-Jenkins’ childhood at Esalen Institute, where she soaked in the hot springs with different characters from all walks of life and talked as the waves crashed against the rocks below. At first, Tub Talks existed exclusively at our event experiences, but now, Genevieve sits down in her tiny clawfoot outdoor bath with artists, collaborators, thinkers, friends, and family to talk about creativity, personal practices, philosophies on life, and why it’s worth living today. Every guest brings their own idiosyncratic awareness to their industries, navigating the fast-changing landscape of our cultures, and personal practices to maintain wellness. Through these conversations, we have come to know that there is something to learn from everyone, and we are able to access that even more deeply when we strip down together, and relax in the bath.
Follow along for new episodes + new guests airing every other Tuesday.
If you’d like to experience these environments we foster together, consider becoming a member of Secular Sabbath! Joining the inner circle is joining our family and committing to a Secular Sabbath practice. Secular Sabbath is traditionally celebrating a day of rest, albeit without a religious affiliation. Joining our family is making a promise to yourself to commit to growth and self-care with a group of people from all walks of life who are interested in finding that for themselves as well. This also gives you access to attend our events in person and online as well as opportunities to connect online and in conversation with teachers, students, artists, and collaborators. Membership unlocks musical artifacts, secret artist-curated playlists, and event experiences for you to experience from the comfort of your own home.

Tub Talks featuring Vicki Topp: Esalen Legend + Bodywork Practitioner
Esalen and Big Sur elder Vicki Topp shares her experiences as a bodywork teacher and practitioner, while highlighting the metaphorical parallels of the practice to life. Vicki details her life in Big Sur and beyond: from being the first women to be offered housing at Esalen and working with Stan Grof, to navigating natural disasters and rattlesnakes. Vicki explains how bodywork is her way of touching and reaching the world. In this episode, Vicki shows us how to live in a state of presence, take in our surroundings, and touch others from that state. Her wisdom and creativity permeates this conversation in the bath.
