Glen Griffith, Founder of the Miraval Golf Program, played in the 2013 PGA Phoenix Open last week.

Here's a video of Glen from the tournament:

Some Stats: 

Glen finished with scores of 72 and 71 - stroke average of 71.5. He birdied 7 out of 36 holes played (19%). We'd like to brag about Glen and share that he finished ahead of one former US Open Champion, one former PGA Championship winner, and 3 regular season PGA Tour winners. Go Glen!

Glen's putting average was 1.636 which was .11 strokes below the PGA Tour average of 1.74 strokes per hole. He ranked 1st for the event in putts made from 15-25 foot range; and, he also ranked first in approach shots from 175-200 yards with an average distance to the pin of 17' 11".

We're so proud of him!

Discover Your Enlightenment Quotient: Living an Enlightened Life

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!
