Our Down Shifting Area
Sponsored by Luxury Massage Chairs
Dreaming and doing require energy, but they also require knowing when to slow down.
We created the Downshift Recovery Station at Daydreamer Live because mindset isn’t only about pushing forward. Sometimes clarity comes when we give our nervous system a chance to settle, our body a chance to recover, and our mind enough quiet to actually hear what it needs.
Throughout the day, guests could step away, reset and experience the luxury massage chairs provided by Downshift. It was our reminder that rest and recovery are part of the work too.
If you experienced the Downshift Station, we’d love for you to leave them a Google review and share what the experience was like for you. And if you fell in love with the chairs, you can shop them too.
Thank you Downshift for helping us create a space where our Daydreamers could do exactly that. Downshift.

What we put into our bodies matters just as much as what we put into our minds.
When we created Daydreamer Live, it was important to us that the food reflected the experience. Clean, organic, grass fed, made from scratch and thoughtfully prepared. We wanted our guests to feel nourished, energized and taken care of throughout the day.
Café La Vies understood that vision and absolutely did not disappoint. AHN thought through every detail, from the ingredients to the presentation to the experience of serving our guests.
If you loved the food at Daydreamer Live, go show Café La Vies some love. You can visit their website, order through the email link provided and experience it again for yourself.
Thank you Café La Vies for nourishing our Daydreamers so beautifully.
