SPAHALEKULANI AT HALEKULANI PRESENTS “THE ART OF LIVING WELL” Three day seminar reimagines the future of well-being

SpaHalekulani, Halekulani’s award-winning spa celebrated for its innovation, unprecedented products and unrivaled service, invites the public to discover the true meaning of renewed well-being with The Art of Living Well. From July 26-28, 2013, the three day event features a series of lectures with medical anthropologist Dr. Meg Jordan, PhD, RN, CWP; various SpaHalekulani programs; demonstrations and activities; and an opportunity to experience signature items from the all-new spa menu. “There’s a pioneering thought in the field of holistic health that well-being works best as an integrated concept. That’s the philosophy we have adopted at SpaHalekulani, and it is our goal to introduce this idea to our esteemed guests over the course of this weekend seminar,” says spa director Kamala Nayeli.

Dr. Meg Jordan’s eye-opening keynote presentation pulls together trends and research in health, wellness and fitness to help you chart a course that captures the original intent and passion of the well-being movement. It also gives attendees insight into the essential ingredients that help us recover, renew and thrive.  Find out why interpersonal connection remains the cornerstone of wellness according to the latest neuroscientific research, and hear more about the key discoveries in motivation research.

Event activities include Wake Up On The Beach, a stretching session on the sand, under the gentle morning sun; SpaHalekulani Blend Bar, in which guests will enjoy creating their own custom mixture of body creams and bath salts using a variety of essential oils; and Mindful Meditation, a restful way to close the day by staying in the moment; and more. Please see the attached schedule for a full listing of times, dates, and events.

The demonstrations of the signature massages feature indigenous rituals from Japan and the South Pacific. SpaHalekulani is the first in the state of Hawaii to offer Taurumi – an authentic Tahitian massage, which involved training under Tahitian Taurumi masters. An additional signature treatment includes Zen Shiatsu – an energetic massage that combines acupressure and gentle stretches to balance the body’s energy system.

This event is part of the acclaimed lifestyle series Halekulani Living, which is inspired by four core pillars - Connoisseur, Masterworks, Wellness, and Legacy. It resonates with the spa’s renewed concept of infusing well-being throughout the entire hotel experience, evolving healthy practices into an elevated lifestyle.
