Canyon Ranch is one of the world’s premier spas, and as a luxury and wellness writer, I’ve had the privilege of visiting and reporting on this award-winning destination for the past 25 years. And I never get tired of it. Every time you go, there’s a new thrill. Whether it’s a new class I take, a spiritual seminar that strengthens me, or a really great lecture at Lenox about miracles, gratitude, and positivity that has been there for many years. It has been passed down for over 30 years by a wonderful speaker named Jerry Posner. We always leave refreshed, renewed, and stronger on this journey called life. (Oh yeah, I always take the dreaded body fat assessment test to keep me motivated.)
But honestly, you know what I like best? food. Oh, I look forward to every snack, every snack, and every meal. At Canyon Ranch, we eliminate all calories and provide smart alternatives, so you’ll be making very smart food choices. In fact, one of my favorite foods on the menu so far is the Southwest Burger, which has 352 calories, 14 grams of protein, and 9 grams of fat. In a word, it’s very delicious. It’s on the lunch menu every day. The vegan burger is made with corn, oyster mushrooms, roasted bell peppers, oats used as a binder, a southwestern spice blend, and onions. Served with potato rolls with avocado (delicious!) and homemade pickle relish. In other words, you can eat petite at Canyon Ranch and still love every bite. Don’t miss the delicious “Hot Fudge” served with soft-serve ice cream yogurt. This is made with fruit juice and for me is the perfect ending to any meal.

Here are just a couple of interesting biographies about some of the speakers.
Rachel Roy is a globally recognized designer who worked in the fashion industry for over 20 years before starting Ancient India and continues to work in over 10 product categories. For years, she has been immersed in Ayurvedic teachings and skin care techniques in the United States as a leading expert in the field. She collaborates with leading scientists and doctors in both fields to awaken skin’s ancient ability to self-heal, with the goal of helping skin become whole again when it has become inactive due to aging and other diseases. We develop formulations based on traditional wisdom and modern science.
Skincare guru Joana Czech has over 37 years of experience starting in Poland. She believes the key to beautiful skin is a long-term approach, not short-term fixes. Her treatments combine the most innovative technologies with timeless techniques, many of which she learned in Poland. During her stay in Poland, Joanna studied for 12,000 hours (about a year and a half).) While in the United States, you only need 600 hours of class time to become an esthetician. Joanna’s celebrity clients include Kim Kardashian, Hailey Bieber, Amber Valletta, Cara Delevingne, Nicky Hilton and Lily James.

After listening to the speaker, you can charge it. During the event, guests will be able to enjoy two of the resort’s most popular treatments: the Biologique Recherche Lift & Sculpt Facial and the CBD Wellness Ritual.
In my opinion, Canyon Ranch is the “gold standard” when it comes to spas. And this exclusive first event is sure to be a golden journey.
