Discover A Unique And Unparalleled Private Spring Retreat in Palm Beach
Healthspan, Self-Reinvention, Longevity
May 1-May 3, 2026
Amrit Ocean Resort, 3100 N Ocean Drive, Riviera Beach, FL 33404
Program Highlights
Spring at The Society
Guided Self-Reinvention
Contemporary psychology, brain science, and nutritional psychiatry come together in a guided process designed to update identity, stabilize the nervous system, and support long-term healthspan. Through grounded practices and experiential tools, insight becomes embodied change—felt in the body and reinforced through community.
Designed Pleasure
Specially prepared mood-food meals, music, movement, and shared experience are intentionally designed to restore vitality and joy. Optional medi-spa treatments support physical renewal, creating a sense of nourishment that feels natural, unforced, and deeply human.
Place, Pace, and People
Set at Amrit Ocean Resort, the experience unfolds in a spacious, unhurried environment intentionally limited in size. Time is protected for reflection, meaningful conversation, and rest—allowing participants to arrive fully into self, rhythm, and community.
Pleasure is not optional
The way you design your space and yourself is not random or optional. Ellen Langer’s Counterclockwise Study showed that when older adults were immersed in an environment structured as if it were decades earlier—and encouraged to act as their younger selves—their cognition, posture, vision, and physical function measurably improved, demonstrating that mindset and context can reverse aspects of biological aging.
By contrast, psychological ageism—the internalization of cultural beliefs about decline—quietly accelerates limitation, a process amplified by the Proteus Effect, which shows that how we perceive ourselves (shaped by roles, environments, and symbols) directly alters our behavior, confidence, and physiological responses; in this program, we begin your counterclockwise journey and intentionally engage the Proteus Effect to translate this research into lived, embodied reality.
Spring Immersion Program: The Science and Practice of Self-Reinvention
This is not a conference. It is a guided psychological and biological shift — structured, intentional, and immersive.
Spring Immersion Schedule
A three-day guided reset in health span, identity, and designed vitality.
Arrival, Welcome, and Framing the Weekend
5:00 PM – Opening Reception
Cocktails, mocktails, and mood-food light bites.
Meet Srini Pillay, M.D. — Harvard-trained psychiatrist, brain researcher, and psychogenic longevity expert — who will introduce the psychological framework for the weekend: how identity, environment, and lived experience influence inflammation, health span, and brain vitality.
Meet Dr. Uma Naidoo — Harvard nutritional psychiatrist, professional chef, and bestselling author of This Is Your Brain on Food — who will share how food reshapes mood, metabolism, and longevity, including her work advising global leaders on food ecosystems.
Both will discuss their dementia-prevention initiative in the Bronx using Blue Zones principles.
Dr. Pillay will also speak briefly about his appointment as Fellow at the Institute of Meaning in Science — and why self-reinvention is not abstract, but biological.
Guest contributor Abel James, New York Times bestselling author and fitness expert, will share practical insights from his journey in optimizing strength, resilience, and metabolic health.
(Short, 10–15 minute reflections from each while you enjoy curated bites.)
