Anybody Else Need A Vacation?

It was a challenging summer. Right about now I could use a vacation. First choice? Miraval!
In Mirror Neurons, I wrote about Wyatt Webb and his work at Miraval Luxury Spa and Resort in Arizona.
Miraval is a luxury destination spa and resort located on 400 acres at the base of the Santa Catalina Mountains. The property is designed to create an intimate environment that nurtures every guest. I’d like one of those private casita-style rooms filled with premier amenities for the ultimate in my comfort and relaxation. And to tap into the brilliance of all those experts, just waiting to help me relax and reduce stress once I’m back to the daily grind. Miraval boasts such names as Andrew Weil, M.D., Tony Redhouse, and Mark Pirtle, along with nutritionists, trauma specialists, exercise physiologists, and more to make the experience a lasting one.
I would love to spend a luxurious week taking advantage of all Miraval has to offer. During that week, I’d definitely do the four-day intensive with Wyatt Webb. The program is designed to help people achieve greater awareness of their own communication process; a key to improving personal and professional relationships and bringing joy to their lives. Miraval even offers a special vacation package that makes visiting Miraval easier than ever.
Here are the Authentic Remedy package details (in case my fairy godmother wants to send me a gift):
$399 per night includes:
· Three gourmet meals per day
· Complimentary spa treatment* (or a round of golf)
· Full use of resort activities
· Complimentary transportation to and from Tucson Int’l Airport
*$125 limit
THE EQUINE EXPERIENCE™ INTENSIVE WITH WYATT WEB
Joy is our birthright. Yet our current stressful mode of existence takes this away from us. Working with Wyatt Webb six hours a day, three days straight, you’ll learn how to reclaim your birthright so you can gain greater self awareness and experience personal growth. Each morning you’ll work with horses, with group process in the afternoon. You’ll challenge learned behaviors, correct false beliefs and rediscover your authentic self.
Wyatt Web
Wyatt Webb is the founder and leader of the Equine Experience at Miraval Arizona. The Equine Experience provides profound insight into communication within relationships. Working on the ground with specially selected horses, guests begin to see patterns of learned behavior that may be working against them. Wyatt offers 4-day workshops and daily classes for anyone looking to better understand their communication process in an effort to improve personal and professional relationships and bring joy to their lives.
What began in 1991 as a facilitated experimental group with emphasis on in-depth relationship skills examination, fear reduction and values clarification, has evolved into Miraval’s signature Equine Experience. The experience is a safe and supportive setting for people to correct false belief systems about themselves and provides an empowering and creative opportunity for remembering who they truly are.
Wyatt is also the author of It’s Not About the Horse: What To Do When You Don’t Know What To Do – Common Horse Sense, and Five Steps For Overcoming Fear and Self Doubt: Journey into Present-Moment Time.
Wyatt began his career touring North America as a professional performer for 15 “grueling” years. That led him to examine life and the fears that had been getting in his way for too long. For more than 25 years he has worked with adults, adolescents, families, couples, and corporations in a therapeutic setting. Wyatt has a B.A. from West Georgia College.
For those not interested in an intensive program, Miraval also offers short equine sessions. Working with specially selected horses, people can clean a horse’s hoof, then command him to run without ever touching his body. For newbies, this is a great way to discover that horses feel our emotional energy, and learn to understand their own by observing how the horse reacts to them. A spa experience shouldn’t just be about getting pampered. It should be about being open to learning something new about yourself.
I’m ready!

Oh, this sounds amazing!! Sign me up! I could sure use a vacation myself.
OK Michelle, let’s go. I’m thinking January would be good.
Works for me, Kim! Just tell me when…;)
You think I’m kidding!
Lol….actually I did think you were kidding – but was hoping you weren’t!!!
You know, now that my planned trip to Thailand is off for March, I DO have 3 weeks of vacay to burn…..
Michelle
I didn’t know you panned a trip to Thailand–I’m sorry it’s been cancelled.
I am waiting to hear from Miraval as to their availability. If I hear something good, you can bet I’ll let you know!
Oh lord. A Vacation. Golden Words. Add “spa” to “vacation” and I’d be in heaven. Add “horses” and I’d be one with the universe.
I wonder if our horses feel this way some times?
Jane
Oh you know they do! That’s why I became an equine massage therapist!
You should come with me when I go to Miraval.
Ok, Kim – I’ll hold you to it!! Oh, and my Thai adventure isn’t so much cancelled as it is postponed…never fear, I will eventually get there!
