Carillon Miami Wellness Resort has launched Integrative Emotional Wellness: a Holistic Retreat for Women in partnership with internationally renowned relationship therapist, Dr. Paul Hokemeyer, and Corey Spiegel, founder of the women’s networking organization Light House, where she is one of the most sought-after moderators on women’s empowerment and wellness. This transformative, innovative and empirically grounded emotional wellness series will begin July 8, 2022, with programming to include several workshops throughout the summer, as well as a weekend-long retreat September 30 – October 3.
According to the World Health Organization, nearly 40% of people face a host of post-pandemic emotional stresses, with recent data showing that women suffer from issues related to emotional stress at much higher rates than men. Integrative Emotional Wellness: a Holistic Retreat for Women aims to address these challenges with a unique opportunity for guests to fully immerse themselves in a beautiful and calming environment along North Miami's famed Atlantic Ocean. Sessions have been carefully curated for women of all ages, and will provide a healing space with empirically based, holistic and clinically effective treatments to support mental wellbeing.
“Over the course of the pandemic, I saw a surge in people struggling with a host of emotional wellness issues such as angst, sadness, insomnia and a general sense of disease,” says Dr. Hokemeyer. “Now, as we are emerging from the pandemic, I’m seeing these same issues manifest in people who are exhausted from the weight of their lives and the world, which has become even more chaotic and fractured. Personally and professionally, I’m thrilled to help people transcend the challenges of the past three years in a world-class facility like Carillon.”
Throughout the sessions, Dr. Hokemeyer and Ms. Spiegel will lead workshops that will introduce the science underlying toxic relationships and provide personalized strategies to help guests detox. Ms. Spiegel will take a deep dive into relatable and meaningful topics, offering participants a safe place to share their stories, be vulnerable and heed a different perspective and allowing each woman to walk away with wisdom, understanding and intent.
Session topics include:
“Whether you’re in the midst of a major life, relationship or career change, confronting a major life decision or simply wanting to reevaluate your place in the world, the programming that Dr. Hokemeyer and I created is meant to reset your emotional and physical circuitry,” explains Ms. Spiegel. “The sessions will help provide participants with a foundation of calm, clarity and purpose, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to bring this to life with none other than Dr. Hokemeyer and Carillon Miami Wellness Resort.”
In addition to the sessions, participants can treat themselves to the high-end hospitality and amenities of Carillon Miami Wellness Resort, which features the largest spa and wellness center on the Eastern Seaboard (70,000 square feet), luxury accommodations in spacious apartments and recreational offerings, including a two-story indoor rock wall, swimming pools and blissful Atlantic beaches.
The Right Expertise for Challenging Times
Dr. Hokemeyer, author of Fragile Power: Why Having Everything is Never Enough, is an acclaimed relationship therapist who’s been called one of the world’s top “Problem Solvers” in Tatler’s High Net Worth Address Book. A believer in education as a lifelong process, Dr. Paul is a fellow in the Global Leaders in Healthcare program at Harvard Medical School, as well as a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, who appears regularly on broadcast news outlets and has seen his work utilized by the World Economic Forum and featured in a range of academic and popular publications. During the pandemic, Dr. Hokemeyer studied how to optimize the use of digital technologies in the delivery of mental wellness services at the Yale School of Management.
Ms. Spiegel previously served as an advertising executive for two decades working for large corporations, including Warner Bros, “The Ellen Degeneres Show,” Playboy and “Extra.” She created Light House—a diverse community of women who are having personal conversations that are transparent, refreshing, and real—with the vision of creating a “Board of Directors for your personal life.” Light House creates a space for engaging dialogue that not only allows women in similar situations to hear and learn from each other, but also renew their own sense of appreciation, empowerment and passion for life.
