ShiRRéT is a rhythmic activity that accesses high level brain waves for
CREATIVE PROBLEM SOLVING,
the highest form of intellectual thought.

"ShiRRéT is a spa for the mind that helps in stress management and weight loss." –– Reza Yavari, MD, CNN guest author of the anti-diabetes book, It Must Be my Metabolism BeyondCare.net Endocrinology, weight management, metabolic disorders.

ShiRRéT™ calms and collects your thoughts in productive meditation. Flow is researched at Harvard, and in this state the hormones and glands are benefited by an ease that is the opposite of dis-ease. The brain forms wavelengths that r beneficial for problem solving.

"ShiRRéT makes me feel productive and calm." ––Paula Gabriel, painter, Paris art studio landlord, mom of Dorian and Roya

"It's a rhythmic pattern you get into like gardening. It's the one time I'm outside of my head. Even though I can't make the stitches perfectly yet, I felt relaxed after the class and when I practiced at home."
–– Laurie Rudifer, who couldn't crochet b4. Laurie directs Read To Grow non-profit literacy in NewHaven CT, mother of 2, daughter of 2.

After Canyon Ranch in the Berkshires, Corina said "I think of simplicity and concentrate on the task at the present. My mom in Venezuela and I learned to ShiRRéT together in Connecticut ."
