Discovery Weekend

Two days of Self Exploration and Rejuvenation!

A very small group, everyone learning, everyone teaching, personally accompanied  by Tom Hays, the founder of Platinum Pearls®, a lifestyle enhancement program.  The participants for each retreat will be confirmed by telephone.  The important thing is fun, relaxation and expanded awareness of life's possibilities.

The number of participants will be limited.  Apply now to attend.

COST - $200 per person for both days, plus transportation, lodging, meals and any entry fees or other charges connected with activities planned at the weekend event.  You will receive specific details of any activity costs or entry fees at the time of booking.  We will provide suggestions for lodging and travel, and you may book the lodging and travel through our travel agent if you wish. 

Reserve your space for a "Discovery Weekend™" workshop.  Indicate which location and the date you wish to attend.  Please tell us briefly about yourself, along with your expectations for the weekend retreat you are interested in attending.  Please include your address and telephone number where you can be reached.

The Power of Self-Coaching: The Five Essential Steps to Creating the Life You Want

by Joseph J. Luciani (Author)

Nobody is born insecure, angry, bored, or depressed. The fact is, happiness is our natural state and, as psychologist Dr. Joseph J. Luciani explains in this warm, witty, and empowering guide, chronic unhappiness is just a bad habit–a habit that can be broken.

It’s much easier than you think! Based on Dr. Luciani’s twenty-five years of experience helping patients unlearn reflexive, destructive thinking, The Power of Self-Coaching arms you with all the tools you need to free yourself from your mental and emotional traps. As you work through the many self-quizzes, training and coaching exercises, and Power Drills, you’ll see yourself anew and feel yourself growing lighter, more spontaneous, and ready to take charge of your life.

A proven five-step program for reconnecting with the innate capacity for happiness, The Power of Self-Coaching gives you what you need to:

• Identify learned patterns of thought and feelings that are making you unhappy.

• Use Dr. Luciani’s celebrated Self-Talk techniques to develop new, healthy ways of thinking and feeling.

• Eliminate boredom, hopelessness, chronic fatigue, and emotional numbness from your life.

• Tap your full creative, intellectual, and emotional potential and live the rich, rewarding life you want and deserve.  Buy Book
