Optiself programs have been created to provide different experiences to enjoy learning about ourselves in ideal natural settings, allowing  for the joy of physical activities, self exploration and appreciation for what is working in our lives and tools to welcome more of what we need and want. The vacation workshops are set up to include meditation, walking, hiking, yoga, massage, "optimal lifestyle" counseling, music and art therapy, guided imagery and self hypnosis, all in individual and group experiences.

Learning takes place through the stories and experiences of others and time spent gazing in to our own souls through private time. There is a wonderful balance of play, learning and solitude, if that is your desire.

Leesa Sklover-Filgate, Ph.D. is director of the Optiself Center for Counseling and Alternative Healing and has been on staff at the Canyon Ranch Spa in the Berkshires for nine years. She has been quoted in many leading magazines and newspapers and is a national lecturer and keynote speaker.
