Some Miraval guests like to cherry-pick activities spontaneously, while others choose an overall guiding principal (which can be arranged before arrival).

Instead of saddling up for trail rides with tobacco-spitting cowboys, guests sign up for an Equine Experience, where the emphasis is not on riding but on using horses "as a means of revealing patterns of learned behaviors that enhance or hinder the flow of relationships, creating opportunities to recognize how stress is created and, thereby, how stress can be avoided."
