Blue Canyon Country Club’s fusion of meditation and golf hits
a hole-in-one
|
|
|
Blue Canyon Country Club was developed in 1988 around an old tin mine and
rubber plantations. Moulding its golf courses around the existing canyons, the
Blue Canyon Country Club has shown its environmentally friendly policy by
ensuring minimal disruption to the natural landscape.
This philosophy is what takes it from its humble beginnings to become a popular
host for private spa enthusiasts and avid golfers alike. Blue Canyon Country
Club is known for not just hosting prestigious professional golf tournaments
including the 1998 Johnnie Walker Golf Classic, but also the relaxation programs
that it provides, from award-winning spa treatments to innovative relaxation
techniques with golf.
In the month of October, Hawaiian-born Albert Schmaedick will be welcomed to the
Blue Canyon Country Club as its third holistic health consultant. Schmaedick has
a wealth of experience as a psychotherapist and as a Vipassana meditation
teacher and detox coach. He will guide attendees through cognitive restructuring
therapy and internal detoxification programs.
But Schmaedick is best known for his fusion of mediation and golf – he believes
that the synthesis of both golf and meditation creates a new kind of spiritual
quest.
“Golf to most, has always been seen as a way to relax.” said Blue Canyon Country
Club chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr Sia Leng Yuen. “A golf game is
incorporated with meditative skills that could possibly improve a golfers’
experience of the game and in turn, help them play at their optimum performance
levels.”
To experience a meditative journey with Albert Schmaedick, Blue Canyon Country
Club is offering 4 days/3 nights retreat packages. In the package, Schmaedick
will be conducting 2 complementary seminars with private therapy sessions.
Packages start from THB 20,350 and include accommodation as well as treatment
sessions at the Spa.
He will also be speaking on October 1 and 2 about his mediation techniques and
guide listeners through the plethora of detox fads available on the market
today.
Albert Schmaedick will be offering a range of sessions, from one hour private or
group meditation, o Reiki and Energy balancing therapies. |
