Invitation to Pearl Escapes New Year Spa Break and Spiritual Detox


You are cordially invited to my first New Year Spa Break.

If you���d like to join me at this world class spa for a four day - three night contemplative and positive New Year Adventure then all you have to do to secure your place is pay a ��50 deposit now (balance is due before 1st December 2015) to me either in person or via Paypal to pearl@pearlescapes.co.uk

I have 9 spaces available for this Escape, and I am offering a special ��50 off for the first 4 people to book!


New Year can be the most wonderful night of the year (after Christmas Eve!) or it can often feel like a damp squib. Personally I love the parties and the countdown but hate travelling, especially if I need a taxi! So I decided to create an escape that offers you the chance to get away for three nights, with no travelling on New Year's Eve or New Year's Day, an escape at an award winning spa that has beautiful grounds and walks if the weather is nice but also has glass walkways and spacious relaxation areas so you don't have to put a foot outside if it's horrible. A spa offering incredible food, plus a New Year's Party with a glass of champagne at midnight!

New Year is an emotional time, when we often reflect on the past and focus on the future, so this escape is all about spiritual detox. My guided contemplation and activity sessions will help you to honour the past and let go, as well as celebrating and embracing all that the future and the New Year have to offer, so you can celebrate New Year's Eve 2016 feeling free and ready for fun!

(Sorry ��� children under 16 are not permitted in the hotel, only guide dogs are allowed and smoking is only in outdoor smoking areas.)

About Lifehouse Spa
This year alone Lifehouse Spa is a finalist for The Professional Beauty Awards 2016 Residential Spa of the Year Award and has been nominated for the Spafinder Wellness Travel Awards 2015 in two categories:
Best for Mind & Spirit as well as Best for Affordability / Budget


About Pearl
Having visited spas all over the world Pearl can tell her lava shells from her body scrubs and can help you select the best massage for you. Pearl is also, as well as being a highly certified Zumba Instructor, a trained life coach, mentor and counsellor and has taught mindfulness and meditation for the NHS and in local colleges.

Before the Escape
You'll get advice and tips on what to pack, how to make the most of the spa and also advice on booking your treatment (a one hour massage or facial is included in the price of the escape).

During the Escape
There's a very light schedule of activities, some of which are open ended or for you to do on your own, plus use of the spa and hotel facilities. You'll also have me on hand throughout the break for support; whether that's for the spa, healthy eating (yes, I am a Plate by Zumba coach), or support for when you hit a difficult moment in the process of "spiritual detox". It's not going to be 24/7 support, but the goal is to allow you the space to take what you need from the escape.

You'll also have access to my library for the duration of the escape (extremely useful!)

Pearl Escapes New Year Spa Break and Spiritual Detox

This year for the first time ever I have put together a very special spa break for New Year 2016. New Year can be the most fantastic time for moving forward and letting go of the past - or it can be the kind of time we struggle with what���s going on in our lives (I know that there have been years when I literally hid under the duvet and tried to ignore the world!)

I���ll be sending out a special email invite shortly, putting all the details on my website and even sending out a Facebook invite (I���m nervous but I���m going to feel the fear and do it anyway!)

I really hope that you can join me, and if it���s the kind of thing you would be interested in but it doesn���t quite work for you please do let me know what I could do differently for the next one! (It���s like my classes; every bit of feedback I have received over the years has helped me to tailor the classes to suit each group so I really do appreciate it!)

Thanks so much!

(Sorry ��� children under 16 are not permitted in the hotel, only guide dogs are allowed and smoking is only in outdoor smoking areas.)


Bobble Bottle Giveaway... also for sale!

Some people have asked if they can buy the bottles and so, yes, they are also available for ��10!

Or...

Introduce a new customer to class and get a free Pearl Escapes Bobble Bottle! Or get a free water bottle when you sign up to my Plate by Zumba or Zumba Gold-Toning class!


Congratulations!

Congratulations to everyone who completed reward cards recently!

Liz completed 35 classes, that���s awesome!

Nelly completed 130 classes, wowweee!

Chris completed 160 classes, what!!! What a hero!


Thank You...

...for sweating it out with me and having fun on the dance floor - so excited about making this party bigger because you deserve everything I have to offer!

Much love, Pearl

I know it was that particular day they filmed it because my friends are in the front row - they stayed for the next class because nothing was getting them to leave the pool!

Join Me at The Houses of Parliament

As well as all the lovely spa and travel escapes that I am organising I also love doing spontaneous escapes, and if I was a tourist in London one of the places I would head straight for is the Houses of Parliament (of course, as I live here I���ve never been inside!)

The Houses of Parliament is celebrating women���s suffrage in October and so, as my October Escape, I���d like to invite you all to join me on their 45 minute family tour of the Houses on Saturday 17th October at 3pm. I have no idea how big the tour group is so please book your ticket as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

Tickets are available online for ��10
http://www.parliament.uk/visiting/visiting-parliament-news/suffragette-season/
plus there are a whole host of other tours and activities this month.

If you would like to come along but have trouble booking online I���m happy to book for you and print your tickets for a ��5 booking fee.

Get On 4Music (over 60s only)

I have again been contacted by ���the media��� wanting to make contact with wonderful older people!

If you can spare an hour for an audition on Monday 6th October and would be free to film on 16th, 23rd and 30th October and you fit the bill below then please give Jess a call on 07487 832221. Unfortunately it is just covering travel expenses this time!

���I'm writing from Channel 4 Music and wondered if you might be able to help
me with some casting for a new programme.

The Box Plus Network is launching a new television show and we are looking
for a lady, aged over 60 with a big personality and great sense of humour
to get involved with some social media fun.

We are hoping to find an InstaGRAN/NAN who can possibly do some celebrity
interviews and get involved with our music and showbiz content. They don���t
have to know anything about music or showbiz we just want someone who
can bring heaps of personality to the programme.

As we are still in the planning stages these details are still to be
confirmed - but the hope is that there will be a filmed audition process in
Westminster, London on Monday 5th October.

If we find the right person, we will line up some fun things for them to
do and will be looking to film with them for our shows on the 16th, 23rd
and 30th October.

We are looking for someone who doesn���t take themselves too seriously, is
easy to warm to and happy to get stuck in with all things celebrity.���


Bobble Bottle Giveaway... also for sale!

Some people have asked if they can buy the bottles and so, yes, they are also available for ��10!

Introduce a new customer to class in September and get a free Pearl Escapes Bobble Bottle! Or get a free water bottle when you sign up to my Plate by Zumba or Zumba Gold-Toning class!

Finding Your (im)Perfect Escape

Find me on Facebook
Follow me on Twitter

Hey you,

So, one of the tabs at the top of my website says ���Find Your Perfect Escape���, and I���ve even put it on my new business card (can���t wait to see them!!) but in saying it I need to go back and explain what I mean by the word ���perfect���.

The thing is I love the word perfect and the feeling of it, but it���s also the kind of word that gets thrown around a lot in advertising in a way that can make us have all kinds of fears too. So I want to be really super clear.

I really hate it when the phrase ���Perfect Body��� gets thrown around or ���Perfect Man��� because I think we all know that there is no such thing. As human beings you can guarantee we are imperfect in one way or another.

So what do I mean when I say ���Perfect Escape���? Honestly, it���s like the (im) Perfect Man. The kind of person who comes into your life whose imperfections are right for where you are in your life. The person who you are going to grow with, even if you ultimately don���t stay together. It���s like the film about the man who God turns into a modern day Noah - it drives his wife nuts and she leaves him. Then God (in the shape of Morgan Freeman - who else?!) turns up as a waiter in a diner and asks her ���Well, if you asked God for patience would he be able to just give it to you or would he have to give you a situation where you learned to be patient?���

So sometimes the perfect situation is the one which you don���t want but where you can learn a lesson, or learn about yourself, where you can succeed at something or even fail at something and ultimately take the next step in your personal growth.

Does that mean that every escape has to be bootcamp?

Of course not.

Very often we need exactly what it says on the tin. We need to relax, to switch off, (to switch our phones off), we need to be cared for, loved, touched and reminded that we are as important and special and deserving of great care as much as everyone else on the planet.

Sometimes we do need to be challenged.

Sometimes we get exactly what we said we wanted and realised it���s not what we want.

But all of those steps are perfect.

I was staying at a superb, perfect hotel on a beach this summer and I adored it. Even when a tropical rainstorm came in and my room wasn���t ready I got to hang out in a bar drinking ���perfect��� margaritas. But I noticed after a few days some things I didn���t like and they were mainly to do with other people in the hotel; saving loungers and leaving them empty, reserving tables with a sunset view and not turning up even hours later. And it struck me that this is one of the problems with ���perfect���. As soon as we find something wonderful we have a tendency to want to hold on to it, hoard it even. To worry that it will be taken away from us. It���s not enough for us to be happy in the moment. It���s not enough for us to just enjoy the sunset. We have to take a picture and Instagram so that everyone knows we are enjoying the perfect sunset (not that I would ever do anything like that!) We can���t just enjoy the company of the (im)Perfect Man - we have to know where this is going. (Not that I would EVER think anything like that!)

So sometimes the perfect situation is one in which things are passing us so fast that we have to be in the moment. Like snorkelling with whale sharks (yes, some people were still messing with cameras) or trying to follow a move in a Zumba class, or watching a great movie, or... one of my favourites... surfing. Because there is nothing that will stop you ruminating and being somewhere else in your mind as much as sitting on a surfboard and getting slapped upside the head or knocked off your board when you take your eyes and mind off the waves.

In surfing there is a tendency to talk about the perfect wave, or the perfect surf break and so I learned something a long time ago when talking to proper surfers (i.e. someone who gets on a board more than once every 5 years like me!) Apart from the fact that the perfect wave for a beginner and for someone who has been surfing for decades are completely different, they also say that the perfect wave is the one you���re on. It���s the only one you can surf. It was the inspiration for the title of my book ���Love and The Perfect Wave���.

The perfect body? It���s the one you���re in.

The perfect escape? Sometimes we are limited, by time, by budget, by our physical capability but I believe there is always an escape that���s right for us (even if it���s just a good movie or a good nap.) Sometimes we are so unlimited, there are so many choices and options, that it���s all just a little too daunting (this is how I feel about planning my African safari trip). And that���s when we need to listen to our intuition and let go of our fears and take the leap of faith to find that next escape.

When I took a surf trip to Morocco I didn���t know that aside from the surfing (which I seemed to get progressively worse at despite having a week of surf coaching and them literally holding the board steady for me) that an afternoon trip to a hammam and the most incredible massage would unlock something inside of me, would start a healing process that would ultimately end up in me having a business that takes me all over the world and into some crazy places looking for healing and other wonderful things. But sometimes when you go looking for one thing you find something even better.

Oh, and the perfect food? That���s a slightly dry, stale cheese sandwich eaten after three hours trying to stand up on a surfboard on a beach in Morocco. And juicy Moroccan oranges. See you can learn everything you ever needed to know from surfing. It���s the perfect escape.

Much love, Pearl x

Hurts So Good

So yesterday I made it to the spa after a month of no massage. Oh my goodness my shoulders are sore this morning. It was an exceptional massage but working on all that tension after letting it get like that was NOT easy.

I was thinking I didn���t enjoy the massage as much as I might have because I needed it TOO much. It���s like going for an elegant meal when you haven���t eaten all day.

...or coming back to class for the first time in ages! It���s tough because it would be great to walk in and for the squats not to be challenging, but sadly they only get easier when you do them more.

Sorry, that���s just the way our bodies are built. But like my massage therapist yesterday I promise to be sweet about it if you are coming back after a break and I won���t push you to do anything you���re not ready to (or I mean I will, but you know you can ignore me!)

...and with this guy in the warm up it���ll be that much sweeter! Sorry guys, another one I���m keeping for Zumba Gold (Zumba Fitness have got T.I.N.A.)
























Bobble Bottle Giveaway... also for sale!

Some people have asked if they can buy the bottles and so, yes, they are also available for ��10!

Or...

Introduce a new customer to class in September and get a free Pearl Escapes Bobble Bottle! Or get a free water bottle when you sign up to my Plate by Zumba or Zumba Gold-Toning class!


Congratulations!

Congratulations to everyone who completed reward cards recently!

Niamh completed 35 classes, that���s how it���s done!

Jennifer completed 35 classes, thirsty work!

Jan completed 65 classes, sexy and you know it!!

and

Jackie completed an incredible... one hundred and thirty classes, ���what a fabulous dancer!



Thank You...

You Are Invited

I have two very exciting invitations coming out to you now. The first has some very exclusive options, so I have decided to give a little preview to those of you who are physically in classes at the moment. Don���t worry, your email invitation will be coming out next week (when I���ve had the chance to add a few more pretty pictures!)

These are very exciting as they are me sharing what I have learned over the 5 years of Pearl Escapes (not just about Zumba!) so I am very, very happy and proud to share them with you!

These will not be posted on my website as yet, so do make sure you are signed up to my newsletter or, if you do not have email you can also give me a home address and I will post them out to you.

Are you excited yet? (Even the people who can���t come were very excited last night!)

























Bobble Bottle Giveaway... also for sale!

Some people have asked if they can buy the bottles and so, yes, they are also available for ��10!

Or...

Introduce a new customer to class in September and get a free Pearl Escapes Bobble Bottle! Or get a free water bottle when you sign up to my Plate by Zumba or Zumba Gold-Toning class!


Congratulations!

Zumba For Peace

Yes, Beto has joined forces with Peace One Day and is encouraging all us ZINs (Zumba Instructors) to dedicate our classes on Monday 21st September and dance for peace. Let���s do it! (And don���t be afraid to add anything else you want for peace - knit for peace, sing for peace, have a nice sit down and a cup of tea for peace? Do it and share it with us all!)
