After about 20 minutes, Horn solicits feedback on the experience.
"It felt like forever," one man notes. "I’m used to eating on the run, at my desk, in the car, pretty much gulp and go. It was hard to slow down."
"I don’t like yogurt," the other adds, a bit incredulous at his discovery. "I’ve eaten yogurt every day of my life for 25 years, and I don’t like it."
Horn does not appear surprised. "All of us are influenced by the foods we think we should be eating or by what’s put in front of us, when really we should listen to ourselves. Start thinking of food as your healthy fuel, your medicine, and rely on your five senses to tell you what and how much you need to eat," says Horn.
This mindfulness scenario plays out over and over throughout the guests’ stay, from the breakfast table to the spa to the meditative hikes in the desert to, ultimately, the bedroom.
