As 2021 winds down and we look forward with anticipation to the blank slate of a new year to refresh our intentions, the Paper & Diamond team are putting the finishing touches on the commencement of a busy year of wellness programming. We are thrilled to announce that the first opportunity comes towards the end of January, as we present The Wellness Collective at The Ritz-Carlton Maui, Kapalua, featuring Paper & Diamond wellness experts Susy Schieffelin and Claire Grieve.
The Ritz-Carlton Maui, Kapalua sits along the seaside shores of Maui’s Kapalua region, the most sought-after area on the Hawaiian islands for unprecedented luxury when it comes to the Aloha State. The property boasts 22,000 acres of wide-open space, naturally providing for spacious accommodations and endless activities that interact with the geographic wonders that make Hawaii unique. From the mountains to the ocean, recreational options abound, and cultural experiences providing an immersion into the spirit of aloha offer something new to explore.
The exclusive accommodations are enhanced by the visitation of Paper & Diamond wellness masters Claire Grieve and Susy Schieffelin.
