Shosuro Miren Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Exalt! Exalt! is an organization dedicated to helping individuals discover and pursue their passions, their selves, pushing themselves to the limits they think they have, and then helping them break through to greater understanding and being. The Exalt! Headquarters Building Location The Exalt! Headquarters Building is situated between Sixth and Seventh Avenues in the heart of Manhattan on Central Park South, New York City. The hotel is located at walking distance from Broadway, Fifth Avenue, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Times Square (15 blocks), Carnegie Hall (1 block), Radio City Music Hall (8 blocks) and Lincoln Center (5 blocks). The Exalt! Headquarters Building is located less than 12 miles away from JFK Airport and 15 miles from Newark Airport with nearby access to New York’s sophisticated subway system. History The historic Jumeirah Essex House first opened its doors in October 1931. Sharing its birthday with Rockefeller Center’s first building, at the time of its construction it was the tallest tower in New York and to this day remains one of the city’s premier Art Deco masterpieces of the 1930s. The Essex House was one of the first hotels in New York to offer a ‘Sunday Brunch’ for walkers in Central Park during the 1930s and many celebrity guests have stayed in the hotel throughout the many years the hotel has been in operation. The hotel was bought by the Exalt! organization in late March of 2027. Renovations are currently being undertaken to modernize the historic hotel into a headquarters for the organization, though the main public areas have so far been left in their Essex House style. Structure and Design The Exalt! Headquarters Building overlooks Central Park, towering 44 floors from street level to the top of its tower. Public Restaurants and Bars Gateway Gateway boasts a separate street-level entrance and the largest fireplace in Manhattan underneath a massive skylight. Gateway offers an outstanding and varied cuisine from all corners of the world, with newly discovered chef Tamariah Johne. The Lounge Located just off the main lobby, The Lounge offers a savory selection of culinary delights, including appetizers, entrées and sandwiches, in a setting of Art Deco style and ambience. Afternoon Tea can also be enjoyed daily between 2pm and 6pm. Private: Exalt! Dining Hall Previously known as The Restaurant at the Essex House, the Exalt! Dining hall is open for breakfast, lunch or dinner in a beautiful newly renovated Greco-Roman setting. The Dining Hall is available only to Exalt! members and their children. Conference and Banqueting Facilities The Exalt! Headquarters Building features unrivalled conference and banqueting facilities in an elegant setting including 16 distinctive meeting rooms and executive boardrooms, The Grand Salon with a seating capacity of up to 450 people and for smaller functions or receptions, the building’s Petit Salon provides a more intimate setting for events of up to 150 guests. The Exalt!’s dedicated planning staff oversee even the smallest details of events including audio visual and production services with the latest technology, to suit all needs. Business services include a Business Centre offering secretarial services and private offices, video conferencing services and high-speed Internet access in all meeting rooms. Health Club and Spa The Exalt! Headquarters Building spa facilities include a dedicated relaxation lounge, personal training, sauna and steam bath, a selection of massage treatments and other pampering options using only environmentally responsible products, including an extensive selection of hypoallergenic products. The Exalt! Headquarters Building also features a fully equipped fitness center with available gym memberships for the general public.

She also brought her husband, stay-at-home father Michael Ahns, and their two sons with her as well. Exalt! Personal Progress Lead Dr. Saraswati Loshe - Born in New Delhi, India, Saraswati excelled in school and pursued a student visa to study medicine in the United States. She attended NYU from her undergraduate years through the completion of her medical degree; during her education she volunteered at the Manhattan Bellevue Hospital Center, eventually completing her residency there and becoming a full-time ER physician. She joined the Exalt! organization for the close community feel of the group and her deep appreciation of the guiding principles of Exalt! She still volunteers regularly at Bellevue, around her duties as the resident physician for Exalt! members. She is now pursuing certification in pediatric medicine as well. Dr. Loshe erupted during Puck's Apotheosis; she remains the Medical Wellness Guide for the moment, though she and Dr. Sellas are discussing if she should step up to the Health & Wellness Lead and Laura take the position of Psychological Wellness Guide. Exalt! Health & Wellness Lead Professor Jonathan Selik - Previously a professor of philosophy at NYC, Jonathan still teaches at the university as an adjunct professor but has devoted his career to Exalt! after becoming one of the first dozen members. An intense man, Jon can be intimidating to approach, but his aptitude at teacher and genuine to desire to expand the minds of others has earned him Puck's admiration and trust. Exalt! Academics Lead Michael Ahns - Michael is currently seeking a degree in childhood development and a primary educator liscence in order to become a teacher in the private primary school that is being created for the children of Exalt! members. Exalt! Childhood Education Guide Mariana Tori - Previously a yoga instructor at a small alternative lifestyles gym, Mariana joined Exalt! as a natural extension of her own beliefs. After joining, she discovered a natural aptitude for organizing other the other physical fitness enthusiasts within Exalt! and creating an effective team for encouraging all members to achieve and maintain a centered, healthy physical lifestyle. She is currently pursuing a massage therapy certification and tutoring under the hired acupuncturist for the Exalt! Day Spa. Exalt! Physicals Lead Tricia Lehman - A 21st century jack-of-all-trades, Tricia's mostly manic bi-polar disorder had left her jumping from job to job for most of her adult life. Puck discovered her through a temp agency and her impressive list of practical knowledges and aptitudes. At first she was hired as a consultant for Exalt!, but time spent with Puck and his knack for keeping her interested in topics and activities long enough to finish projects that would have normally been beyond her attention span earned her admiration and her application to become a member. She works closely with Dr. Sellas to manage her manic and rare depressive episodes without resorting to mind-numbing medications, and thrills at helping members try out new skills and find new passions. Exalt! Skills Lead Exalt! USA Erik Markham - Puck's essential second in command, Erik acts as a personal assistant and go-to man for various unusual tasks. Erik is a former Air Force officer, though he only served one tour of duty before opting out of the military. He is certified as a bondsman and private investigator in all of the Northeastern states and had a thriving private business before joining Exalt!. His business still exists legally, but after completing the cases already accepted before he joined Exalt!, no more cases have been accepted and the OpSite of the business has been taken down. Exalt! USA Lead Christian Danae - The son of an American actress and a French banker, Christian spent his early childhood shuttling back and forth between LA and Nice. At the age of nine he was sent to a prestigious Swiss boarding school to begin training to become an "upstanding and successful member of society." He was expelled from the school at the age of 17 for poor grades and "unbecoming" behavior. He headed back to the US before his parents even knew about the expulsion, disappearing into the underground music scene. Puck discovered him a heroin rehab center and since his joining has urged him to at least let his parents know that he is okay. Charities USA Lead Amelia Hart - One of the first members of Exalt!, Amelia's most public contribution to the organization is as the Outreach Lead and public baseline media contact. While her childhood is easy enough to track, a lower-middle class child raised in rural Iowa, little of her time once she moved to New York is known until she joined the Exalt! organization. Outreach USA Lead Dr. Laura Sellas - A well-respected psychiatrist with a specialization in nova studies, Dr. Sellas' joining of the Exalt! organization shocked many of her peers, who fear that she's been taken in a by a forming cult. Within Exalt! Dr. Sellas handles the psychological evaluations required of all applicants, as well as as-needed therapy for members and monthly sessions with all members as a preventative mental health measure. Health & Wellness USA Lead Bethany Sampson - Mother of five of the children currently residing on the Exalt! premises, Bethany is the undisputed head of the Gateway kitchen. A vibrant woman, loving single mother, and eternal romantic, Bethany pours her heart into her culinary creations. Her innovations has made Gateway one of the hottest restaurants in NYC, though critical reviews are still lukewarm at best in part due to her lack of a formal culinary degree or pedigree. Bethany's response is always a laugh and an assertion that any parent that cooks for their children have passed through a culinary crucible far more difficult and demanding than any school. Exalt!
