Maria Aparis Launches Steeped to Redefine Private Gatherings

The concept centers on personalized experiences tailored for private estates, yachts, and boutique hotels. Guests engage in sessions ranging from chakra renewal and feng shui workshops to life path numerology, all accompanied by zero-proof tea mocktails or ceremonial cacao. Aparis, whose background includes high-profile collaborations with brands like Sony Studios, HBO, and Warner Bros., intends for these gatherings to foster deeper interpersonal connections in an era of digital distraction.

At the core of the offering is The Reserve, a signature retreat package built bespoke for each host. Every element, from the specific tea selection to the meditative breathwork, is calibrated to the host's intent and the attendees' needs. By prioritizing sensory details and intentional pacing, the service seeks to create environments where guests are encouraged to step away from their devices. These micro-retreats are available for booking across the United States and international locations, marking a shift toward highly personalized, boutique hospitality.
