Gang?

If you've been wanting to get together in person with other Zaadz members, here's your chance.

The Center For Integral Living at The Standard Spa Hotel in Miami Beach is hosting a Zaadz Weekend towards the end of this summer. From August 24th to 26th, they're offering a special rate (only $155 a night) for Zaadzsters to connect in person at their new hotel spa.

We're honored to be included in their program, because CFIL itself is pretty incredible. They host an ongoing series of retreats, lectures, classes, seminars and events lead by luminaries in the fields of health, spirituality, sexuality, art, science, business, psychology, and ecology. (What can I say? I love those sorts of learning vacations....)

And it's this that makes the Center 'integral'--instead of focusing on just one area of life to the exclusion of others, it incorporates as wide a spectrum as possible, allowing all these fields to flow into and inform each other. In fact, integral theory influenced the design of the spa--consider it the world's first integral waterfront playground. Fun. :)

So, in the spirit of this, the Zaadz Weekend has been left entirely open for you to play with as you choose. Instead of offering a structured program, the intent is to get together with other Zaadzsters to explore what emerges--so whether you want to share the mud baths or explore their hydrotherapy offerings, join in conversation by the pool, or enjoy a yoga class, meditation, or a meal with your Zaadz friends, I think its safe to say it'll be an amazing couple of days.

And if you can't make the Zaadz Weekend, the Holistic Hideaway Spa Package is being offered throughout the summer--or check out the rest of the sumer lineup:
