Thinking back on your last visit to Shutters on the Beach or Casa del Mar, you may remember a feeling of complete and utter relaxation. The rejuvenating massage at ONE the Spa, the beachfront dinner overlooking the Pacific, and the spectacular sunsets from your private balcony… Who could blame you for thinking you’ve reached the pinnacle of beachside bliss?
As it turns out, all these indulgences were just the beginning. Imagine your next beach retreat with one more element of ultimate relaxation: meditative seaside therapy with one of the country’s leading stress management specialists. Now we’re talking not just temporary relaxation, but lasting inner peace—mental, physical, and spiritual.
It’s called AIRR (Automatic Integrative Relaxation Response) and it’s an exclusive program with none other than renowned mindfulness expert John Sahakian. Founder of Three Circle Flow Hypnotherapy and expert in all forms of stress management, John offers customized wellness sessions right here at Shutters and Casa—be it in our meeting rooms, suites, poolside, or directly on the beach.
Perfect for private and company outings alike, these transformative sessions take participants on a holistic journey through what we call an “experience in mindfulness.” A unique combination of ancient practice and modern science, John uses techniques like meditation, transformational breathing, hypnotherapy, and yoga to foster a renewed peace of mind and overall well-being. It’s a practice suited perfectly for the inspiring backdrop the Pacific Ocean and coastal California.
“AIRR will leave you feeling centered, relaxed, alive and rejuvenated,” John explains. “Each participant will leave with the tools to better manage conflict, stressful events, work challenges, relationships…basically everything in their lives.”
