Special Events No Comments »

For those individuals meditating in caves and living in sacred communities, enlightenment is a way of life. But what of us mere mortals, who have careers, businesses, families and social obligations? How do we access that state of inner peace and deep fulfillment?

Research indicates that there is in fact a segment of the population that is "pre-wired" for enlightenment. With the proper knowledge, those that have a TypeE Personality®, find they can visit the mountain top while in the middle of a family event or business meeting.

Want to get a quick start on exploring the TypeE Personality?  Take the sixty second TypeE quiz to find out if you are one of the 5-10 percent of the population who are wired for enlightenment!  Click here to take the TypeE quiz.

Integrative Wellness , Special Events No Comments »

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!

Books , Dr. Jim Nicolai , Integrative Wellness , Special Events No Comments »

Dr. Jim Nicolai recently held a signing for his new book, Integrative Wellness Rules: A Simple Guide to Healthy Living, here in Tucson. Thank you to everyone who came out to Barnes and Noble on Saturday to show their support and meet the author!

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..."

Diana Madaras and Painting Left-Handed

Artists In Residence , Special Events 1 Comment »

Artist Diana Madaras

We are thrilled to welcome acclaimed artist Diana Madaras to Miraval! Although her art is well-known throughout the country, Diana is extremely popular in the Tucson area and her works can be found in thousands of homes here in Arizona. More than being an amazing painter, Diana is an incredibly lovely person and we are looking forward to having her work with our guests at Miraval. Here's a message from her...

My life is busy.  I run the galleries, develop new art products, meet customers, attend events, and paint. I yearn for quiet and tranquility and a chance to create without interruption; to shut out the noise of my busy world.

“Life in Balance” is just what the doctor ordered, and as I recover from a broken right hand (an artist’s worst nightmare), nothing could be better than a trip to Miraval. Today, for the first time since the accident 32 days ago, I was able to write.  I will start painting again this weekend with my right hand. 

After the accident, I longed to spend time in my new painting studio at home, so I’ve been painting with my left hand. I thought I would feel frustrated when I couldn’t make the strokes I wanted, but I found the experience to be peaceful and healing, and the paintings that resulted were emotional and satisfying. I was surprised I could do it!
