SEYMOUR+ | A Spa For The Mind was located at 41 Boulevard de Magenta in Paris from 2014 – 2017. The space conceived by Melissa Unger, was a first of its kind, technology-free space, with 5 unique environments designed to support introspection, reflection and 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 it first opened its doors in late 2014 a press headline stated: “a UFO has landed on Boulevard Magenta” since then, it has been widely recognized as ahead of its time. During its three years of operation, the space welcomed thousands of visitors from the general public, 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 open to visitors we hope the myriad connections and insights it generated will ripple for many years to come.
 
The SEYMOUR+ space was featured widely 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.
