Although we continue to offer signature programs and services to our guests such as The Miraval Equine Experience (which has been around for 17 years), we continue to innovate and introduce new programs and services every month.
February is a special month because it marks the launch of our new culinary clinics. These new clinics were developed by Executive Chef Justin Macy and our Pastry Chef (also his wife!) Kim. We wanted to highlight some of our other new offerings that debut this month. Hope you enjoy!

This week at Miraval, our guests had the distinct honor (and
pleasure!) of meeting Dr. Marisa Weiss. Dr Weiss is a leading breast oncologist
and the president and founder of Breastcancer.org. She shared her passion and
expertise about the topic and shared the findings of a 5 year intensive study
between her foundation and Harvard Medical School. The findings were clear and
there are steps you can take in your everyday life to lower your risk of
developing breast cancer. Dr. Marisa Weiss and her team are now sharing a
prevention message through Breastcancer.org’s Think Pink, Live Green initiative.
Here's a photo from her lecture at Miraval!
It was fitting that we hosted the lectures here at Miraval because what the Miraval team of wellness specialists teaches everyday is overwhlemingly relevant and in line with what Dr. Weiss and her team are teaching. Miraval is a great place to jumpstart a healthier lifestyle and embrace change.

Here's what Dr. Jim had to say: "Health and wellness is so powerful when it's a shared journey. Integrative Wellness Rules is
all about telling stories of what's helped me get and stay healthy. It
was fabulous to be able to do that with the Tucson community. Thanks so
much to Barnes and Noble—they did a great job—and it was an awesome
experience being able to laugh and share with people that health does
not have to be complex or difficult to manage. It can be quick and
dirty..."

their ugly head?
Personally, this is a time for to open up the

For many of our guests who have experienced the Miraval Challenge Course over the years, they tell us that the real “challenge” is not the physical but rather the emotional and mental hoops they go through to overcome fears and “just go for it.”
We’re excited to introduce this new program “25 Feet Closer to You” as it is a collaboration between the Outdoor Adventure team and the Wellness team – giving you the most supportive environment possible to face your fears and find your balance.
