An overpriced weekend boondoggle at a fancy hotel or spa resort under the guise of promoting mental, physical and spiritual health. All the while, guests stay in very posh rooms and are catered to at all stages. Guests ranges from unfortunate 500 CEO's to yoga mat guy to crypto saleswoman. All will brag to their friends how great a life changing experience it was but they inevitably return to their status quo.
Parker: I feel so great after my wellness retreat at Terranea this weekend. Massages, inspirational sorta TED Talks, farm to table organic whole grain paleo single sourced low glycemic gluten free planet friendly meals…it was amazing. I feel like a new man.
Logan: That's not a wellness retreat. That’s a poshness retreat. And you’ll be right back to pimping big pharma as soon as your Tesla is charged.
Parker: Ya, I guess you’re right. Wish they had just given me the $10,000 in stock options. See you later, gotta go get an office to prescribe more of that new late night advertised wonder drug that is marginally better than the old one but at ten times the price.
