Our Name.

The name, Thirty Six Oaks, came from an actual counting of the oaks 30 years ago. Visiting the retreat, with its private patios, gardens and cozy sitting areas, is a healing experience in itself, inviting you to get back in touch with nature.

The realization that taking care of yourself is a health modality rather than a luxury, is key! We invite and encourage you to arrive here with plenty of time to soak it all in. Winter or Summer, you will find cozy areas to take your retreat. Maybe in front of a cozy fireplace, or bathe in the sun in one of the gardens. Something for all seasons!

How to make smart decisions more easily


Explore the psychology of decision fatigue, what kinds of choices lead us to this state and what we can do to fight it.

--

Everything our bodies do— whether physical or mental— uses energy. Studies have found that many individuals seem to have a daily threshold for making decisions, and an extended period of decision-making can lead to cognitive exhaustion. So, what kinds of choices lead us to this state, and what can we do to fight fatigue? Explore the psychology of decision fatigue and ways you can avoid fatigue.

Can you change your sleep schedule?


Are you an early bird or a night owl? Explore how your circadian system acts as an internal clock to keep your body functioning.

--

An early bird rises with the sun, springing out of bed abuzz with energy. Meanwhile, a night owl groggily rises much later, not hitting their stride until late in the day. How many people are truly night owls or early birds? And are our sleep schedules predetermined at birth, or can we change them? Explore how our circadian systems act as internal clocks to keep our bodies functioning properly.

Harvest Bowls

These bowls are loaded with fall ingredients like sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, apples, and nuts. Plus, they're hearty and healthy thanks to wild rice, chicken, and fresh baby kale. Consider it the ultimate fall lunch!

What is in a harvest bowl?

This harvest bowl features layer upon layer of texture and flavor! The base is a wild rice blend cooked in flavorful broth. Baby kale makes this feel more like a salad grain bowl, and superstar fall vegetables like sweet potato and Brussels sprouts lend their sweet, roasted goodness to the dish. Tender chicken, crunchy apples, tangy goat cheese, and chopped almonds top the bowls, and a homemade balsamic vinaigrette finishes it off.

Marcus Aurelius - Stop Caring What People Think


In this video, I talk about Stoicism, philosophy, Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations, and why we should stop being attached to what other people think of us. 

As long as we’re attached to what other people think of us, we will always be what people want us to be rather than being ourselves. And if we abandon ourselves, we abandon our ability to be truly useful to the world. And if we abandon our ability to be truly useful to the world, we abandon what is perhaps the only form of true security.

Spa Terminology : Reflexology

Reflexology, also known as zone therapy, is an alternative medical practice involving the application of pressure to specific points on the feet, ears, and hands. This is done using thumb, finger, and hand massage techniques without the use of oil or lotion. It is based on a pseudoscientific system of zones and reflex areas that purportedly reflect an image of the body on the feet and hands, with the premise that such work on the feet and hands causes a physical change to the supposedly related areas of the body.

Spa Terminology : Mindfulness


Mindfulness is the cognitive skill of sustaining meta-awareness on the contents of one's own mind in the present-moment without conceptual reification. The practice of mindfulness meditation refers to the recurrent training of one's attention to reorient whenever it acquieses to its opposite, absent-mindedness.

Mindfulness derives from sati, a significant element of Hindu and Buddhist traditions, and is based on Zen, Vipassanā, and Tibetan meditation techniques. Though definitions and techniques of mindfulness are wide-ranging, Buddhist traditions describe what constitutes mindfulness such as how past, present and future moments arise and cease as momentary sense impressions and mental phenomena. Individuals who have contributed to the popularity of mindfulness in the modern Western context include Thích Nhất Hạnh, Joseph Goldstein, Herbert Benson, Jon Kabat-Zinn, Richard J. Davidson,and Sam Harris.

Spa Terminology : Massage

Massage is the manipulation of the body's soft tissues. Massage techniques are commonly applied with hands, fingers, elbows, knees, forearms, feet or a device. The purpose of massage is generally for the treatment of body stress or pain. In European countries, a person professionally trained to give massages is traditionally known as a masseur (male) or masseuse (female). In the United States, these individuals are often referred to as massage therapists, because they must be certified and licensed as "licensed massage therapists". In some provinces of Canada, they are called "registered massage therapists", as they are regulated health professionals.

In professional settings, clients are treated while lying on a massage table, sitting in a massage chair or lying on a mat on the floor. There are many different modalities in the massage industry, including (but not limited to): deep tissue, manual lymphatic drainage, medical, sports, structural integration, Swedish, Thai and trigger point.

Acupuncture is a form of alternative medicine and a component of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in which thin needles are inserted into the body. Acupuncture is a pseudoscience; the theories and practices of TCM are not based on scientific knowledge, and it has been characterized as quackery.

There is a range of acupuncture variants which originated in different philosophies, and techniques vary depending on the country in which it is performed. However, it can be divided into two main foundational philosophical applications and approaches; the first form being the modern standardized form called eight principles TCM and the second an older system that is based on the ancient Daoist wuxing, better known as the five elements or phases in the West. Acupuncture is most often used to attempt pain relief, though acupuncturists say that it can also be used for a wide range of other conditions. Acupuncture is generally used only in combination with other forms of treatment.

The global acupuncture market was worth US$24.55 billion in 2017. The market was led by Europe with a 32.7% share, followed by Asia-Pacific with a 29.4% share and the Americas with a 25.3% share. It was estimated in 2021 that the industry would reach a market size of $55bn by 2023.

Spa Terminology : Acupressure

Acupressure is an alternative medicine technique often used in conjunction with acupuncture or reflexology. It is based on the concept of life energy, which flows through "meridians" in the body. In treatment, physical pressure is applied to acupuncture points, or ashi trigger points, with the aim of clearing blockages in these meridians. Pressure may be applied by hand, by elbow, or with various devices.

Although some medical studies have suggested that acupressure may be effective at helping manage nausea and vomiting, insomnia, low back pain, migraines, and constipation, among other things, such studies have been found to have a high likelihood of bias. There is no reliable evidence for the effectiveness of acupressure.

Our Name.

The name, Thirty Six Oaks, came from an actual counting of the oaks 30 years ago. Visiting the retreat, with its private patios, gardens and cozy sitting areas, is a healing experience in itself, inviting you to get back in touch with nature.

The realization that taking care of yourself is a health modality rather than a luxury, is key! We invite and encourage you to arrive here with plenty of time to soak it all in. Winter or Summer, you will find cozy areas to take your retreat. Maybe in front of a cozy fireplace, or bathe in the sun in one of the gardens. Something for all seasons!

Why do you want to squeeze cute things? - Joshua Paul Dale


Explore the psychology of the phenomenon known as cute aggression, which is the urge to squeeze, bite or pinch something cute.

--

Watching a kitten fumbling around, it might feel as if you’ve never encountered anything so devastatingly adorable in your mortal life. You may want to pet its soft fur and kiss its tiny head. But you may also feel the conflicting urge… to squeeze or smush the kitten, maybe even stuff it in your mouth. What is this peculiar phenomenon? Joshua Paul Dale explores the urge known as cute aggression.

Lesson by Joshua Paul Dale, directed by Oksana Kurmaz.

Laughter is Medicine | Anjelah Johnson | TEDxUniversityofNevada


Anjelah Johnson shares with us some of her stories and jokes from her one hour special, Mahalo & Goodnight. From getting an awkward massage to her struggles walking in high heels, Anjelah brought the funny and reminded us that laughter is medicine. 

Anjelah Johnson was born and raised in San Jose, California and is of Mexican and Native American descent. She became an internet sensation with her viral video, “Nail Salon” which led to many stand up, television and film opportunities. That same year she joined the cast of, “MADtv” as a series regular, which spawned another internet sensation, “Bon Qui Qui.” This original character, a disgruntled fast food employee with no filter, has been enjoyed, viewed and replicated by over 65 million people worldwide. After recording and releasing 3 songs and 2 music videos as Bon Qui Qui, Anjelah signed a record deal with Warner Bros. Records to release a full album titled, “Gold Plated Dreams”. Anjelah resides in Los Angeles with her husband and continues to act and tour the country with her sold out comedy shows.
