For about 200 USD, I signed up for a one-day retreat. I was welcomed by a muscular man who spent nearly an hour inputting my answers to a catalogue of questions about my health into his iPad. All this information, such as my avoidance of processed sugars would be passed on to all the departments for a tailored experience, so goes the ambitious promise. After a crystal sound bath in what looked like a fitness studio dotted with instagrammable pink crystals, I was rushed by my personal consultant to my next appointment. Sipping a glass of ginger-lemongrass tea from a massive dispenser in the lobby, I was handed yet another form, this time asking me to rate my stress level on a scale of 1 to 10. Looking at an A4 page of questions, I began to feel stressed. Later on, ten minutes into my IV drip, staff hurried in with yet more paperwork. With my right arm connected to the machine, I was asked to sign with my left hand – bureaucracy proving more urgent than relaxation. Behind me, the steady rustle of paper sorting became its own soundscape. Forty minutes later, another staff member arrived with two madeleines, neatly labelled with ingredients: flour, pistachio, eggs, and – refined sugar.
