I think I’ve mentioned before that I love Palm Springs not for the pools and golf courses, but rather the eccentricities and odd finds. There is perhaps no better example of that than the Integratron. George Van Tassel began construction on the building in 1954 after he claims to have been contacted by aliens. The aliens gave him instructions on how to build a machine that would rejuvenate living tissue cells (a fountain of youth, if you will). Unfortunately, Van Tassell’s death came before the completion of the machine. Today, they host a variety of private and public events in the incredible structure. And, according to the website, “many visitors experience the Integratron as a very powerful vortex for physical and spiritual healing”.

Now, you may be asking yourself, how does this relate to a wedding?? Mr. Peppermint and I are considering taking in a private Sound bath the week before the wedding to de-stress. We’ve never done the Sound bath and have meant to on a number of occasions. What better time, right? I think we’ll definitely be in need of “an unforgettable sound healing experience for those who seek deep relaxation, deep meditation and rejuvenation”! One other option is arranging for a group session (with our wedding party or possibly opening it up to all guests) during that wedding weekend. The only drawback is that it’s located about 45 minutes away from where the hotel & wedding events are. Also, I don’t know how many guests will be into this ‘otherworldly’ experience.

Are there any off the-beaten-track activities you’re thinking of including?
