Phoenix, Arizona (the Firewalk, the Apache Trail, the Native American Spa, the Cowboy Ranch, the Awakening and the Skunk‪)‬

There’s a reason this place is called Phoenix.

We talk about awakening, awareness and other terms in healing, they’ve become quite the buzz words (along with “woke,”) but, for me, what I would call my awakening was a momentary death of ego and a rebirth of mind, body and spirit.

Was it the firewalk, the driving, the teachers I met along the way?

…or just the Native American ritual in a world class spa?

I’ve experienced so many types of healing - all I know is that what works for one person is wrong for another.

Every body is different.

Although I started writing these mini-guides to share the hotel, spa and the rest, the retreat in a box I dreamt of when I first began Pearl Escapes, they are also just stories…

…for the unadventurous adventurer, as well as the keen explorer, we each have our own way of experiencing life.
