SEYMOUR+ | A Spa For The Mind conceived by Melissa Unger, was located at 41 Boulevard de Magenta in Paris from 2014 – 2017. The space was a technology-free space, featuring 5 contemplative environments designed to support introspection, reflection, emotional processing and free play. In addition to its primary function, the space also hosted workshops, talks and events on topics related to transpersonal psychology and other psycho-social subjects.
 
When SEYMOUR+ opened its doors in late 2014 a press headline stated: “a UFO has landed on Boulevard Magenta”. In the ensuing years, it has been recognized as a precursor to what has since become a movement. During its time of operation, the space welcomed thousands of diverse daily visitors, and also hosted a variety of special interest groups, including: university students, women’s groups, therapeutic groups, work teams, psychologists, business leaders, futurists, tech companies, philosophers & more. While it is no longer in existence, we hope the myriad connections and insights it generated will ripple for many years to come.
 
The SEYMOUR+ space was featured extensively in international press, was the subject of graduate theses, special features, included in educational publications, and Best of Paris guides. Visitors reported that it helped them to nurture their mental health, reconnect with their imagination and intuition; and reduce their stress.
