For anyone who needs a little help, and we all need a little help at times����� (and we can get by with a little help from our friends).
��
I know you're struggling.�� I know what it feels like in the middle of confusion to want to reach out and grab any solution, any idea, any port in a storm.�� But it is easy, as a Buddhist once said, to confuse the raft with the shore, to confuse the need to let go with the need for more.�� Any practice is meant to carry you from suffering to truth, to peace, to joy��� but we all have our unique path.�� Every body is different.
��
"free Feeling Real Emotions Everyday" is the practice I used to leave behind all the things that were not meant for the real me, to find all the practices and philosophies that work for me, and most importantly to embrace the gifts I had been hiding ��� there is a time for us all to shine.
��
I've shared this practice already, in my book (or manual) and in classes when I first understood it.�� It���s become a colour paperback with pictures, then an eBook and paperback without the pictures, then an audiobook and finally a digital book with pictures, and now I want to teach it one to one.
��
Like Marie Kondo's "Spark Joy" method of tidying up, the premise is so simple it's more unlearning than learning, and like Kondo's process it always has a different result.�� We all have different heavens and different ways of finding heaven.

I'd like to make a special introductory offer for Chinese New Year for anyone who wants to take the next step on their journey.�� Normally I would charge ��75 for a one hour class, but I want to be able to teach this via video and phone calls ��� so I'm offering remote classes for ��35 per hour session.
��
I want to make this easy to say "Yes" to ��� I know what it's like to want to take that next step but be waiting for that exact moment when I'm ready, or almost ready.�� I want this to be something you can push the button on at 4am when you wake up knowing you just don't want to wake up feeling like this anymore.
��
So, as well as emailing me to book you can also go straight to PayPal and just pay ��35 to pearl@pearlescapes.co.uk to book your first session.�� (You will be covered by Buyer Protection if there is any problem.)�� Just make the reference your name and your preference for time of call (the great thing about remote one to ones is you can do them to fit in with your schedule).
��
will.i.am said it beautifully on "The Voice" this week ��� "We are not judges, we are coaches".�� I'm not here to judge you or teach you anything that's not right for you. ��I'm here to help you learn to become your own guide in this world of so many choices, so many paths, to find the meditations, fitness exercise, places, habits��� whatever you need, when you need it.�� To find what makes you feel alive and awake in this world.

If you want a little more energy to say "Yes" I'm also offering the first 25 people who book a free copy of my colour paperback (with slight misprint) for postage and package only (around ��2.50 in the UK).
��
If you want to know more about "free Feeling Real Emotions Everyday" you can buy the book https://www.amazon.co.uk/free-Feeling-Real-Emotions-Everyday/dp/1326738534 or the eBook on Kindle https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07HNJXSH8 ��(it's free to read if you have Kindle Unlimited), or the (Without Pictures) version as a paperback https://www.amazon.co.uk/free-Feeling-Emotions-Everyday-Pictures/dp/0244989281 or you can read it for free online https://www.amazon.co.uk/Free-Feeling-Emotions-Everyday-Pictures-ebook/dp/B0788VN78D Also you can listen to the audiobook on many platforms ��� here it is on Audible https://www.amazon.co.uk/Free-Feeling-Emotions-Everyday-Pictures/dp/B07DKTXFD6
��
Enjoy, and I hope you enjoy your journey, and remember I'm here if you need a little help.
��
And Happy Chinese New Year!

Lots of love, Pearl x

Weekly Newsletter - Zumba Gold and my new class "free" launching in West Sussex

Hello my friends,

I can't believe how excited (aka terrified, nervous, exhilarated, weirded out) I feel to be starting up Zumba Gold classes again.�� I have to keep telling myself "I've done this before." and remembering all the many classes and wonderful people I met teaching before.

When it comes to my brand new class "free" I keep remembering the few, very relaxed outdoor launches I did for my book, which I always said was the manual to being free, and how much fun they were, and also my very first time doing a talk on my 5th Anniversary as a Zumba Instructor when so many people showed up at Cannizzaro House in Wimbledon and, despite so many people in the audience, well, everyone really, being people I'd taught a hundred times in Zumba Gold, how I almost passed out from the thrill running through me (that's another word, right for excited - thrilled!)

I'm really sorry that the classes will be too far away for most of you - I was so moved by the messages I had over Christmas and New Year and to be missed after such a long time away really gets me (in a good way).�� If I could be everywhere and teach all the time without having a total collapse I would do!�� One of the things I'm really trying to do with how I'm setting up the new classes is not to overload myself or stretch myself too thin (or try to run the classes through the holidays) or generally make the same mistakes I did teaching before - no, this time I would like to make brand new mistakes (or rather learn new lessons!)

New Classes
All classes are ��5 or donation

Monday
East Wittering Village Hall, near Chichester, West Sussex (starting Monday 19th Feb)
2:10-2:55pm (Doors open 2-3pm) Zumba Gold
3:10-3:55pm (Doors open 3-4pm) free - Feeling Real Emotions Everyday

Tuesday
New Park Centre, Chichester, West Sussex (starting Tuesday 13th Feb - half term)
12:40-1:25pm (Doors open 12:30-1:30pm) Zumba Gold
1:40-2:25pm (Doors open 1:30-2:30pm) free - Feeling Real Emotions Everyday

I feel like I'm in the right place to start teaching Zumba Gold because there just aren't any classes around here unless you go over to Havant (quite a way) so I'm looking forward to seeing how people react!�� And I'm putting together a brand new play list.�� (Mama's Got A Brand New Bag.)

I'm also looking around for more places to teach my new class - I feel that it's something very special to help people feel alive, free and to move past their fears and explore - and the best way I can teach that is to do it myself.�� Yes, it was leaving and travelling and being in places where there was a lot of fear and exceptional courage, but now I feel the best way for me to explore is by launching my own class and finding the best way I can serve the world by just being myself.�� (It would be nice to be rich and famous too like Beto, but one step at a time and nobody needs to be rich and famous to go for a sunset walk along the beach with a cup of tea in hand - still pretty much my favourite thing - although in the summer I might switch to a mojito, virgin of course!)

If you find yourself down this way, please do pop in - I'd love to see you again, and if you haven't yet been to one of my classes, I can't wait for us to get started!

Oh and I also published another new book in my Camino de la Luna series - Forgiveness!�� Find it on lulu.com (see below for details!)

Lots of love, Pearl x

Dear 2018 Friends,
��
I hope you're enjoying the New Year, yesterday one of my best friends told me that it was supposed to be the most depressing day of the year, I was kind of relieved.

Then I told my mum, she too was happy to know that there was a reason we all felt so glum (apart from the rain).

And then I told my Grandma who was delighted because she just thought it was all her illnesses and that cold/flu that didn't want to go that was making her feel down.

Anyway, the days are already getting longer, and in the olden days we'd have been making plans for Wassailing - heading to the local orchard to drink cider, apple juice and bless the orchard, maybe we should bring that back and no one would be depressed?�� I do find I feel a lot better when I eat a lot of apples - maybe another reason why an apple a day keeps the doctor away?

The real reason for this email is that I realised yesterday it's just two weeks until I am running my Once In A Blue Moon Escapes (details below if you haven't already seen it) and I'm very light on participants!�� So I thought I would offer what I used to offer charities when I went out to do Zumba Gold classes, you can see what I would normally charge, but let me know what your budget is if you'd like to come along for one session or all of them.��

Give me a call if you want to chat about it on 07770 846 284 - I'm also setting my intentions at the Blue Moon so I'd love your feedback and comments.

If it doesn't work for you then I hope you still find the time to take a moment and enjoy the Blue Moon, they call it setting your focus or making a commitment but I think it's really the same as making a wish and I do believe it can change your life!�� (Maybe you might be somewhere completely different next January - I am pretty sure I won't be in the same place but I've been wrong before!)

Lots of love, Pearl X

Weekly Newsletter - Happy New Year!�� Resolutions, intentions and advice

Instantly know what I���m doing on Instagram
For up to minute news check out my Facebook
Or follow me on Twitter

Click here to get my newsletter emailed to you direct http://eepurl.com/U3C3T

Some say that all advice is useless - I say that's rubbish.

Last year I spent New Year's Eve climbing pyramids, waving at hot air balloons as they floated metres above yelling ���Happy New Year!���, wandering around a little Mexican town, watching Aztec warriors dance and setting my intention for 2017 around a bonfire.�� I slept all New Year's Day!�� I was so lucky to find the most incredible teachers to help me set my course for the year, and I continued finding more wonderful teachers and guides that helped me to see the best of the world and the best, truest parts of myself as well as to understand that the biggest challenge I have is to release those parts of myself, share them with the world.

My intention for the year was to work on my books, and I've published three more full colour books, written the first draft of one more, am working on the rest of the series and am almost ready to publish my 2018 updated guide to healing (which after 7 years is enormous even though I can't include everything I've done.)

But, despite setting that intention, thinking I'd do it by finding a little place in Cancun for a few months to live cheaply and write, it so didn't work out like that - instead I found myself zipping around the world.�� I wonder if that was also because of the intention or in spite of it, but actually I think it's because of bigger "goals" I have - to��
Enjoy Life and
Follow My Heart.

I guess, like a doctor, like their��
First Do No Harm
these come before other intentions I might set.�� Like something I say whenever I teach...
Take It At Your Own Pace.

Anyway, looking forward into the New Year and having set up an escape for the January Blue Moon (details below - all the sessions are now available individually if there's one you're interested in), I started looking around...

For friends, peer group, new teachers to help me navigate in what feels like a new world and yet more dangerous because it's my old world, so it's so easy to fall back into old habits.

What I found was that most advice was just as useless as it had ever been to me.�� In the same way that most fitness classes, even yoga, never worked for me until I found Zumba, and then when my teachers moved on I had to create my own classes.�� I had to start and develop Zumba Gold and Zumba Gold chair with what little advice I had from Zumba Head Office, plus advice from websites about individual conditions, I even went and did a four day training with "experts" which yielded a couple of pieces of useful advice.�� But when you are trying to create something that you don't see in front of you it forces you to question, double check, research and most importantly listen to your participants to get it right for them. ��

So, you are my biggest teachers right now, or, if what I'm teaching or writing isn't right for you, it will be the next people who come in, who find me, who teach me to do it better.

Anyway, I reached out, to networking groups, to people who've already spoken at TED... Just like when I first started teaching I did as many classes as I could and asked for advice and help from more experienced instructors.�� 90% of all advice I got when I started teaching was gold - 10% was "forget it, you don't have the qualifications and there are too many teachers already".�� I still don't have the qualifications apart from the Level 2 Aqua I got just as I stopped teaching.

The more you learn, the more you learn "what's what".�� The more you learn that a great teacher isn't the one with the flashiest moves but they're the ones who are strong enough to let go of ego and dance from the heart.�� To say, as one of my teachers does "I do nothing and people change themselves."

Anyway the piece of advice that did it for me was this, from a previous TED speaker when I asked him for advice on getting started.�� Apologies if it sounds like I'm disrespecting him - it's not my intention.

"Write yourself a letter for next New Year's Eve - in it tell yourself exactly where you'll be living, how you'll be living, then work out how much it will cost and how much you'll be earning each day."

It may good advice for someone else, but if I'd set out like that I'd never have done the best things in my life.�� I'd never have quit the well paying job or jumped on half the planes or buses I've done with no accommodation, no currency, no plan.�� I'd never have taken those scary steps up a mountain, never have learned to fall forward and sometimes fly.

So, what are my intentions?

To do my best, give my best, especially when things get scary and people tell me to pretend to be someone else, to follow someone else's path.�� And just keep on going.�� To honour a bigger principle I found in South Africa -��
No More Hiding.

It will mean more books, more talks, more baking, more strange conversations with strangers who become friends, or it could mean something completely different - whatever life gives me.�� I'm good with that.

So I hope that if you want to set an intention or make resolutions (deciding to do something as simple as the Marie Kondo method of tidying in January 2016 changed my life), that you look deep within and choose the resolutions, the intentions that serve you best, not what you feel you should do or what someone else recommends because I believe that's why most people give up on them after a few days - they were never theirs in the first place.

I hope you use the power of this New Year to give you the energy, the push to do the things (or stop doing the things) that set you free, because the things that are true, and true to you always set you free.

Lots of love, Pearl X

The Amazing Emsworth Lobster Pot Christmas Tree

Dear Yuletide Friends,

Yes, it's December and Christmastime has officially started.�� I may be the last person to have not started their Christmas shopping or even putting up decorations but I do like to wait until I'm feeling properly Christmassy. (I suddenly feel the urge to Google Christmas decorations and pull out my stocking so I think it's time!)

I do have a little Christmas gift for you already though ��� the first part of my book "Camino de la Luna ��� Take What You Need" which starts when I said goodbye to my classes in Wimbledon last year. It's a pretty big book so I've had to cut it into three parts for the online version, so please let me know if your inbox can handle it and I'll send it over. It's about 372 MB (about the size of 180 digital photos!) and I don't want to blow up anyone's inbox!

I did have my first mulled wine and mince pies last week, at a special Christmas evening at Draper's Yard in Chichester.�� It was PACKED! which was a huge change to the day before when I decided to give having a table in the yard a go.�� Possibly the coldest day of the year so far, Wednesday... I lasted 4 hours before I decided not to be a hero and head home with my bag of books and cards.�� I did meet some nice people but as I nursed my frozen toes and fingers in a hot bath and lay exhausted in my cosy warm bed I did feel a bit of a numpty.�� I'd started so positively, with no expectations and I know it's not easy starting something new, but still, I felt quite beaten.�� And a wuss.�� Especially compared to other market stand holders who are there every day in all weathers and of course people sleeping rough at this time of year.�� Last year when I was doing my Camino I always had faith I could find somewhere to sleep (mainly because I did a lot of research first thing in the morning to see where there were places to stay) and when things didn't work out as planned I felt there was a reason.�� There was even the time my hotel was double booked and I had to move on, but they let me spend the afternoon relaxing in a spa... in a stable.

In the coldest place, when we got 12 inches of snow on top of a mountain in Portugal and the roads were closed, the taxi driver knew a back road and got to my one night home in a spa hotel. On my travels I would go to bed wherever I was, being grateful that "I am safe, I am warm," and almost always "I have enough to eat." ��

I've been in my house for nearly 6 weeks now and it's enough time for me to have become complacent, spoiled and to not always appreciate how lucky I am, but every night since I stood outside for just a few hours I come home with deep gratitude for my home and cosy bed. ��

I'm not going to ask you to support a charity, but I do want to share something with you that I learned on my travels, something very close to my heart and something I believe is very important at this time of year.

Jesus was born poor, in a stable.�� He didn't have a house, he didn't make a lot of money and he rejected the idea of being a King.�� Buddha left a life of luxury in a palace to be a penniless beggar living on the simplest foods trying to find truth.�� And I believe that one of the things they learned was what I learned on my travels, which is to not be bowed by poverty, not to look down on anyone who has less or even more than us, not to judge someone by the quality of the clothes they wear, or whether or not they have shoes on their feet. ��

I learned that compassion is distinct from pity.�� When we have true compassion we can look someone in the eye and acknowledge them as our equals whatever challenges they are going through.�� Because there is no shame in poverty.

When I went to South East Asia I discovered that my pain in seeing other people in poverty was caused by old memories of being poor, of being bullied, of being shamed and then, the worst part, believing the lie that I was less than, because I had less.�� And becoming ashamed.

I didn't know any better, but I do now.�� I see how I've acted out in the past, buying more and more, labels (Zumbawear), thinking somehow the stuff I had was important, that it made me something better than I was.�� Big sigh.�� But I was just a little kid and then came the 80s, decade of excess, and even now I bet you can count a hundred adverts in a day selling you something shiny.

Clothes do not maketh the man.

So I share this now because Christmas used to be a tough time, especially when I was a kid, because you know if you don't get good presents from Father Christmas it feels like you've been bad (and I'll be honest I was not over it in my 30s either).�� But you know, logically, the gifts you get do not necessarily relate to the way people feel about you, it is after all as we know, the thought that counts.

And we also feel the pressure to make everyone feel good with the gifts we give them. ��

So I hope you enjoy Christmastime, it's one of my favourite times of year and I'm enjoying being in England because I love Christmas food and carols and everything...�� But I am hoping to not go back to old patterns and to stay in the space of knowing these few things...

It is my presence that is the biggest present I can give to the people I love, I'd rather spend time with people than spend money.

That when I look at or, or help someone who is going through a rough time I am looking in the eyes of an equal, someone who deserves respect, compassion and not pity.

That there must be ways to let my loved ones know how much they are loved other than by adding to a mountain of food or wasteful gifts and to teach the next generation that yes, it is the thought that counts, and the memories of times we spend together that last.�� To teach them mindful and not mindless consumption.

And when I eat my non-vegan dark chocolate orange to make sure I enjoy every single mouthful.

Happy Christmas and lots of love, Pearl x

Hello beautiful and amazing friends,

(Did you know that you are awesome?) Anyway, I'm a bit tired because I spent all day yesterday at The Business Show in London (apart from the hour I spent doing an interview in Caffe Nero in Clapham Junction as I am now Travel Editor for WHYTT Magazine) and really the buzz was a bit much.

One of the things I've learned over the last year of travelling is that you have to be careful when you go into the marketplace. That can be literal ��� as in when you walk into a busy square in Morocco or right now, virtual ��� because whenever you open your emails, or even sometimes when a text message pops up wherever you are becomes the marketplace. Someone is trying to sell you something. (Right now this is the marketplace because I am indeed going to try to sell you something ��� or at least I am going to offer you something, which is really the same thing.)

Anyway on the way up I saw the advertising and the offers already starting for Black Friday and I thought "Oops, better get on and finalise this escape's details and price and get it out there." Because in fact the big question in my head going to the show was about pricing (and that's an excellent reason to go into the marketplace, to see how much other people are selling their stuff for). (Well maybe not, but one thing I realized last week looking at how much people are charging for their classes down here is that I was WAY undercharging in most areas of my business before I left).

It's not the first time I've been to The Business Show, but it was definitely the best headspace I've ever been in ��� happy, relaxed, questioning, open-minded to listening to other people talk about their businesses and areas that I feel I'm weak in ��� social media, pricing and to see what people were offering (I'm also very weak in the whole "make a million from your passion" because I don't know how to do that, let alone teach it and that's what everyone else seems to be selling), and this is what I learned���

1) Always eat before you go or bring snacks. I did but I still spent a fortune on tea.

2) I went to one seminar which had nothing to do with what I thought it was about, but the guy talked about starting up his business and he played a 20 second clip of "Field of Dreams" and about the family story behind his business. It's their dream they're living, they're never going to sell it and their most astute hire was their reception dog. (Yes, reception dog who greets their customers.)

3) I went to a seminar with another King of Social Media, who asked if anyone wanted a copy of his book. A guy ran up and grabbed it out of his hand, literally. (It reminded me of one customer I had who asked "Do I have to pay every class?" "Yes." I replied a little sadly.) You do have to be careful not to disappoint people.

4) Then, when I went on Instagram to tag and Follow the guy to win the book I discovered that I have more followers than he does. Hmmmm��� food for thought. (It reminds me of students in my class ��� you know who you are ��� who, when we talked about becoming an instructor didn't know if they could do it ��� I knew they were already better dancers than me!)

5) Most of the businesses in the room have absolutely no idea how to engage with people outside of social media and email. (I may not be a social media expert but I am awesome IRL ��� I had to translate for one social media trainer ��� "In Real Life".)

6) Watching a talk by Brad Burton (the self styled no 1 Business Motivational Speaker) he suddenly says "I'm going to revolutionise the personal development business, because it's broken, they're either charging through the roof to make you think it's amazing or charging so little you think it must be shit." He's not wrong. And then he did something really clever ��� he offered his book and a 10 minute phone call with him for ��10. "Yes," I thought, "I'll take that." And then I realized how clever he was, because years ago I took a free book from the Tony Robbins' stand at one of these things and left my details and was badgered by calls asking me to book into an event. In this case I'd paid for the book AND for him to call me and sell me his event. (I'll do the same if you like��� if you're not sure about me or my event I'll sell you a copy of my book and a 20 minute phone call for ��20 ��� I can't really discount it as ��10 is going to charity from each book!) I read the book (he's a nice guy, I've chatted to him before and read his other book), but he's more of a "shout at you and make you run laps" trainer than I am.

7) I met a woman at the Tony Robbins' stand (I promise I wasn't trying to poach her ��� I even told her the price of the Robbins' seminar next year ��� yes, I looked it up) and what she told me was that she really wanted to find was "peace of mind" - a way out of the mental churning. (I gave her a few tips.) But she also told me that she'd bought a 2 day seminar (no accommodation) for ��2,000 because she was promised a 1 to 1 with some guy. No 1 to 1 and no happy customer, she did not feel it was good value.

8) What I felt as I walked around was that everyone was selling two things; make lots of money, and impress people. Which is also what a lot of people are selling in the spiritual side of the personal development space (did I lose you yet? Is that too technical ��� it's much easier in person when I can see if I need to take it down a notch or up a bit���) Sigh, I like IRL "In Real Life". The thing is, Zumba on the outside used to look like everything else "build muscles, lose weight" but when you got into it you realized it was something different. It was FUN! The penny dropped for me at my first Convention when one of the other Albertos said "This is not a fitness movement, this is an empowerment movement." And with power comes responsibility���. (okay, that's Spiderman) and��� change. (You may not make money and impress people ��� although I did for quite a while!)

9) And then the last speaker of the day ��� the lady who used to be on Dragon's Den who lost her business to administration (I think this is bankruptcy but they don't want to use that word at a business conference), who talked about her business ��� Red Letter Days, which delivered EXPERIENCES. And she explained how this is the highest part of the food chain apart from one thing. She was the most popular speaker of the day because as she said, it was the joy of creating their business and changing people's lives that was effortless��� it was when it got to a certain size and it became a BUSINESS that it all went wrong. So guess what she did? Ahem��� went round the world and trained with shaman and learned all the mung bean secrets of the universe. Oh yeah, been there, done that, got the T-shirt (well I've got about 3 left, they wear out fast when you wash them in the shower!) And so, the highest thing on the food chain, the thing that people want the most, the thing you can charge the most for��� transformation. Aka change. And when she put it like that I realized that's what I've been doing for a really long time, and last year I transformed my own life, broke through all my fears and limiting beliefs and have found a life that is my idea of heaven (for the moment), and that's what I can share.

10) Why do I think I am the right person to do this? Well, she did this thing��� she said "Hands up, who is already in business?" My little hand went up along with about 15-20% of the audience. "Who is just looking for ideas and inspiration?" Another bunch of hands went up (I guess it should have been 85-80%) but maybe some people weren't listening? And then "And how many people here are doing what they love, are completely engaged and happy in their lives?" Me and about two other people. It was a shock for me to realise, as I looked around how many people, even the ones who look successful are still struggling so hard to find joy, and I guess, yes, peace.

11) I did take one copy of my book with me, but it never felt right to give it to anyone. And then I sat down next to this guy on the train and we talked for an hour and a half about all the stuff I've learned, about letting go of the past ��� so he's the guy I hope I helped, even whilst squashed into train seats, and he's the guy who got the book.

So anyway, I'm going to make you an offer. The overall schedule for the week is not final ��� I'm still waiting on confirmation of a few special events which will be priced individually, so all I can offer right now is myself and the stuff I already have my hands on ��� the core of the teaching which I hope will move you from a headspace of churning thoughts, and being almost ready, to being able to focus on the next phase of your life, whether that's for the next two months or two and a half years, to being able to take the next step in the journey, to taking the action to create your own masterpiece ��� because as I have learned we are all artists and our life is our art. (Man, you should see the pictures from the last year of my masterpiece ��� oh ��� you can just look on Instagram or Facebook.)

I cannot ever sell you transformation, I cannot even sell you an experience, because all I can do is offer an experience - you have to do your own workout, but I have seen what I do transform people's lives time and time again.

So here's my Black Friday/Early Bird Offer - ��400, which is 20% off the standard price of ��500.

This is for a small group of up to 15 people ��� although some sessions will have extra space that will be offered to others ��� so you might want to bring a friend to those (see notes).

To be clear this doesn't include accommodation or food (apart from where stated ��� there are some goodies).

You've explored East Wittering and Chichester, you've learned to let go and stop hiding, you've learned to listen to your body and follow your heart, you've learned self-compassion, forgiveness, unconditional love, you've set your focus with the help of the blue moon, you've learned how to handle fear and you've found courage. Now is the time.

Do the thing you think you cannot do. (Actually at this point ��� do the thing you thought you could not do.)

Today is the day I am ON CALL for you as a mentor, assistant, advisor.

Evening
Miami Themed Victory Party

(There may also be events pre and post i.e. Sunday 28th or Saturday 3rd Feb which will be optional and charged separately ��� I'm working on a Zumba Gold and possibly Zumba Gold chair master class.)

Dear Friends,

One of my teachers says that your communications should be consistent... but life isn���t consistent. Or should that be Life isn���t consistent. Doing some fact checking for another new book (the 2018 edition of my spa treatment, healing and massage guide) I found myself reading something I���ve seen before about biorythms and how we need our rest and renewal phases. Like the earth, there is a time for planting new seeds, a time for things to unfurl under the surface, a time for precious green shoots, a time for sturdy oaks, and a time for harvesting, enjoying the fruit, as well as a time for preparing for bed, hibernation, even a longer fallow period. It all happens perfectly when we listen to our mind, body and spirit and not just to a metronome clicking out a perfect automated rhythm. We are not robots. (But even robots have downtime.)

So here���s to the harvest - I make no apologies for a rush of fruits (and laugh as I remember my family���s reaction during the summer to the bounty of one passionate plum tree ���Not more plums.���)

And here���s to my new book - which teaches (the best way I possibly could using just a book) what it means to unconditionally love each other. I���ve felt for a long time that my biggest question in life was understanding what it means to love and be loved. So for me, this was the end of an epic journey. (Don���t worry there���s another four volumes at least of this story - just as soon as I figure my way around telling the truth without getting people fired.)

The first volume of this story was ���Camino de la Luna - Take What you Need���. The back cover explains:

���This is a book for people who wake up at 5am (or 4am or 3am) worrying. Maybe you don���t call it worrying, maybe you call it planning or organising. Sometimes it is helpful. Sometimes genius and the truth arrives at this time. But sometimes it is just your mind or your ego spinning lies, keeping you awake, freaking out your body, making you sick, torturing you, trying to keep you small. I've been there. Years, months and just hours ago. And it is so wonderful to get over it, to be able to choose to get up and use this time to greet the dawn, to get clarity and change my life, or to soothe the beast and be able to go back to sleep in peace, and wake again knowing that there is nothing to be afraid of, that I am life and my life is perfect and we are all perfect. This is a book about faith, about adventure, about living with my heart open and letting go of the fear of being myself.

In June 2016 I decided to sell my house of 22 years and leave my comfort zone. I had no idea where I would go next, but slowly the Camino de Santiago showed itself and I decided, with no rucksack or hiking experience to start...���


...which then leads into the new book ���Camino de la Luna - Unconditional Love���

���In June 2016 I decided to sell my house of 22 years and leave my comfort zone. Slowly the Camino de Santiago showed itself and I decided, with no rucksack or hiking experience to start... But that���s another story, the one that led to this one.
My Camino in Spain taught me to let go of everything I didn���t need, to travel light and wash my clothes in the shower, but most importantly it taught me to trust my heart and my feet, to let my journey unfold naturally, instinctively, intuitively.
In the words of the theme song from my favourite TV show, ���Nobody knows where they might end up��� when they follow their heart.

Riding high on reaching the true destination of my Camino I raced to the airport to leave a country I had fallen in love with but which I���d had enough of (for the moment). There were two flights out that night; Seattle or Vancouver.

Which country would I end up in next?

My heart was calling me to Seattle, the Emerald City, the home of my TV family, but it all depended on my cab driver and how fast I could run with a loaded rucksack.���


It will take a little while for the book to be available on Amazon so you can order direct from me if you���d like a paperback, and it���s also available as a downloadable pdf from Lulu. (See below for more details on each book.)

Right, back to work, those plums won���t pick themselves.

Lots of love, Pearl x

A blue moon is the second full moon in a calendar month. Normally, they happen around every two and a half years. They're not actually blue.

The last one was in July 2015 (I'll tell you more about that in a mo), and we haven't had one since then. And now, as happens around every twenty years, we have two in 2018. The first is on Wednesday 31st January 2018 and the second will be 31st March 2018.

What does a blue moon signify? Well, a blue moon is a special moment to focus and commit to something (or someone) for the next two and a half years (presumably until the next blue moon). Who knows what will happen with two blue moons this year?

In July 2015 after weeks of searching I found my perfect spot for the blue moon - Isla 33 Resort & Villas on Isla Mujeres in Mexico ��� with a rooftop pool. At 4am I was in the pool with the light of the blue moon reflecting in the water, wearing my moonstone ring to catch the light. In that moment of lying in the water, I let go of everything. All the worries, fears, cares, about leaving my business for a month, about leaving my house, about my boyfriend (or ex, or whatever we were), and in an instant I could see all this mountain of crap I had built up exactly as it was ��� nothing. I had been worried about nothing.

In the energy of the blue moon it was easy to see life simply, to recognise that I was just I, this person in the water, not what I did or what I earned or where I lived or even what I know, just life passing through this body. All the fears, all the ideas, had been learnt. In those hours under the full moon I realised we would always be what we had been and we had never been what we were not, that was just a trick of the light.

Under the blue moon I didn't make a commitment to my beloved, I made a commitment to myself, to focus on this practice of Pearl Escapes, of the things that make me feel alive, sharing them and helping others to feel alive.

Since then everything has changed, I've experienced deep healing, sold my house, travelled around the world, studied with the world's greatest mind, body, spirit masters as well as followed a solo pilgrimage that has taken me to places I had never heard or dreamed of before, let go of the things holding me back, become vegan and come to understand much more what I am and what I am doing with my one and precious life.

So I would like to share this blue moon with you. I am going to teach and organize a week of sessions to help you follow your heart, wherever it may lead you.

I am here for those of you who are ready.

The week will be broken down into sessions, so you can either book the whole week and use it to give you the biggest boost, or choose just the session or sessions which speak to your heart. Some of the sessions will be very small, others will be much bigger.

There will be teaching on meditation and mindfulness, learning to write (or create any art or practice) from the spirit and not from the ego, wild swimming, learning how to kit up or prepare for adventures, letting go, spa time and massage, understanding forgiveness, unconditional love, self compassion, courage as well as dancing and Zumba.

Booking is strictly first come, first served as there will be limited space for some of the sessions (these will be where I teach practical skills to support you ��� e.g. publishing your own book, booking flights and hotels "on the run") so I am offering you the option to register for your place now before the itinerary is complete (it will be final on or before 1st December 2017) and then you'll have 3 days to confirm which sessions you'd like to attend before I open it up to the next people on the list.

Registration costs ��20, payable via Paypal to pearl@pearlescapes.co.uk. You'll get a digital copy of the whole of my first Camino de la Luna book sent to you as well as more information about the week and preparing for it and that amount will be discounted from any sessions you book (and refunded if you choose not to book anything).

What about accommodation, food and transport? I'm leaving it out. Don't worry, I know many, many places to stay in the area ranging from ��40 single room B&B upwards, so I can advise and help arrange accommodation once you know which sessions you want to attend. There are some very special, luxury places to stay in the area too. You may even want to stay in a few places, depending on what we are doing or how your mood changes during the week. This area is also one of the best in the world for food choices, East Wittering is well served with trains from London to Chichester and a regular bus service and taxis, and we'll also be venturing out into the surrounding South Downs area. Don't worry.

If you are coming alone and would like to share a room I will try to match you up with someone else ��� sharing rooms has been a highlight for me of the retreats and adventures I've been on (although sometimes it is a challenge), so I recommend it if your heart feels that way inclined, whatever you think your budget is.

When I flew to Mexico it was clear to me that the choice was going alone or not going at all, and the quote that kept coming back to me was from "Top Gun" (highly spiritual film, right?) when Meg Ryan says to Tom Cruise after Goose is killed, "He would have hated to fly without you." Before she goes on��� "He would have hated it, but he would have done it."

I content myself with knowing that every time I do something I make it easier for the people I love to do it too, maybe someday, even if it's not with me. (And, you know, just having an awesome time myself.)

If you're ready (or even almost ready), come go with me. (And if you're not, you will go just as soon as you are ready ��� don't worry ��� you are on time.)

All my love, Pearl x

My dear friends,

So I am finally hanging up my rucksack, hopefully for a few months in one of my favourite places in the world and near to transport links to family and friends - including Wimbledon!

In my latest books I think there'll be a lot of quotes from "Pretty Woman" (a mung bean self-help book with quotes from "Pretty Woman"!!!)�� The one I often think of is "I can do anything I want, I ain't lost."�� Anyway, I have thought a lot about "settling", because I've toyed with the idea sometimes but it just didn't feel right and I know there were times when to have stopped would have been to give up on the PhD, but now I feel it serves me to have the same bed for more than a few nights, and what I've learned, the practice that I needed to learn and instill in myself and in my body - well, it can and should be practiced everywhere I think.�� I no longer need to be in weird and wonderful places to do it.��

I really, really hope I've found the perfect place, the perfect base for me to take the next step.�� And in the words of "Pretty Woman" when Richard Gere says he wants to put his pretty woman up in a nice flat to get her of the streets - "That's just geography."�� Hopefully I can still be at peace, at home, myself, here, there, wherever I am.

It may be a terrible mistake, but I am SOOOO looking forward to making it even if it is one!

And I am back - almost a year later for this special event!

Halloween Party - with a wee talk at the end by me (5-15 minutes)
Wednesday 1st November 8:30pm Colliers Wood
Please check with Selina re tickets https://www.facebook.com/events/350925305352728/?ti=icl

Hope to see you soon - would be lovely to catch up with people on the Wednesday or Thursday during the day!

And if you've forgotten what I look like - here's my latest YouTube video https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_rswIpWjN8E

Lots and lots of love, Pearl X

P.S. The pic is not my house - it's actually Plum Village in south west France - a Buddhist commune set up by Vietnamese monks - a haven of no drinking, no smoking, no swearing, no shouting, mindful eating, veganism and respect.�� But I still stayed at the Chateau up the road - it had a hot tub.�� (And my own bathroom!)

Wherever we are we can be at home, and find peace.
