At the heart of our Michelin award-winning resort experience is our empowering, expert-led events.
Discover what resonates with you and gain fresh perspectives on physical, spiritual, and mental wellness.
Conquer Stress & Beat Burnout
Most of us want to live high-impact, exciting lives. This means we will inherently push our limits. But what happens when we've reached our limits, and we are running on empty? Stress and burnout.
Put simply, stress and burnout occurs when demands on us exceed the personal and social resources available, causing our life to get out of balance. To live a life in balance, it is essential to learn ways to down-regulate ourselves when needed and generate the courage to set boundaries for those we live and work with.
Join us for Stress Week during April 11-21 for a special program from our Canyon Ranch experts to get tools to help you manage stress, and build resilience to prevent burnout.
Because we're committed to your mental and spiritual wellness, guests who come during Stress Week will receive a complimentary session with a Mental or Spiritual Health practitioner, in addition to $200 in daily service credits, to get your stress recovery underway. LEARN MORE
