Chopra Revisited?
So, remember my Mother's Day gift trip to The Chopra Center and my mixed review? I hadn't told The Husband exactly how I felt about the experience because I didn't want him to be disappointed that I was disappointed (LOL) in the gift he gave me. After some discussion, however, I finally told him what bothered me about the day spa: mainly that it was very confusing as to where to go once you arrived at the resort (The Chopra Center is now part of a larger resort), the meditation under fluorescent lights with the staff talking about food the entire hour wasn't what I expected from a "meditation class", the vibe was not a spiritual atmosphere but rather the more pretentious La Costa Resort & Spa vibe and lunch, while good, was put on my table and I was never spoken to again.
The Husband apparently sent an email to them with comments reflecting my dissatisfaction and they told him today that they want me to have the experience I expected and that I could come back anytime and do a "do-over." I completely respect their willingness to improve the outcome but, man, would I feel like a dolt if I actually went and did it! I would feel embarrassed to show my face, ya know? Also, I don't really want to do the yoga and meditation class again. A body treatment and lunch sounds wonderful but the glorified stretching class and their version of a meditation class just don't sound appealing to me anymore.
So, would you go? I know I should and The Husband really wants me to he was so disappointed and sorta angry given the price he paid but how do I get over the embarrassment?
