Fort Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) October 31, 2014

The Zen Cruise, a powerful transformational journey celebrating mindfulness and self-discovery, announces its second annual lineup of esteemed yoga and healing arts presenters, celebrated musicians, and self-development programming. Returning to Royal Caribbeans newly renovated Liberty of the Seas, this explorative yoga retreat at sea will depart from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and sail to Jamaica and Haiti, February 9-14, 2015. The Zen Cruise will be joyously offering a portion of the proceeds to fund the I Love Yoga Foundations support of the Bhatti Mines School in New Delhi.

Travelers on the Zen Cruise will share in inspirational experiences through presentations, workshops, guided meditations, ceremonies, and yoga, as well as sacred on-land excursions. In the evenings, the connection will deepen with electrifying musical performances, spoken word, ecstatic dance, private cocktail parties, late-night conscious carry-ons, sound healing and more. Nearly two dozen powerful performers and presenters have been retained, and more than 400 travelers from across the globe are expected.

The Zen Cruise is an opportunity to meet and be moved by some of the most respected teachers, authors and musicians of the moment, said co-founder Lisa Pumper, founder of the Yoga Community of South Florida. You can truly immerse yourself in a transformative journey.

Music and movement are an enormous part of The Zen Cruise experience. Celebrated musicians including the chart-topping Nahko and Medicine for the People (whom the Huffington Post recently hyped as creating a new movement in music), beat-box/soul folk singer-songwriter Dustin Thomas, the drumming-dancing-Kirtan gypsies Mayapuris, as well as lyrical sensation Ash Ruiz will be onboard performing private shows for Zen Cruise guests. The revered Wilbert Alix, founder of Trance Dance International, will also lead revelers in a once-in-a-lifetime inward journey.

Other presenters include Hay House author and radio host Jennifer Grace; shamanic journey teacher and Dance of Liberation founder Parashakti; founder and director of the Vedic Conservatory Mukti Michael Buck; founder and producer of Club Divine, Chicago's conscious dance party, DJ Taz Rashid; yoga activist, teacher and philanthropist Moses Love; and many more captivating presenters and musical performances.

Some of the programs scheduled include Sunrise Gong Meditation, Prana Exchange, Directing Your Destiny, Soul Hunting, Telling Your Truth, Invigorating Shakti Flow Yoga, Thai Yoga Massage and Liberation Breathing. The cruise ship also offers onboard healing amenities such as its H2O Zone water park, Vitality Spa, and six whirlpools.

Selected as one of the Top Five Favorite Theme Cruises of 2015 by Porthole Cruise Magazine, the Zen Cruise was created in response to the growing numbers of travelers seeking unique vacation experiences that combine fun and celebration with a deeper sense of being, community and self-development. It would take years of study, crisscrossing the globe, to experience the caliber of growth provided by these teachers," added Pumper.

As we explore ourselves through movement, wisdom classes and other transformational processes, and as we engage in deep conversation and celebration, we become stronger as individuals and as a collective, said co-founder Valerie Silidker, founder/director of Inspired Life Workshops and Expand the Love. The Zen Cruise offers a unique opportunity to come together in conscious community and celebrate the potential within each one of us. Its an opportunity to transform our lives and our world.

TAMPA (FOX 13) -

Do you believe in ghosts?

The owner of a south Tampa spa has no doubt about it. She says her place of business is a hotbed of supernatural sights and sounds, and they don't scare her a bit.

Donna Marie Parker is a hairdresser and owner of Zen Day Spa. She says she knew she wasn't alone from the moment she opened the business.

Parker says she smelled men's cologne and says one evening, the aroma of pot roast cooking was overwhelming.

"So pungent I thought a client dropped me off food. I opened the door, there was nothing. No smell coming from anywhere except right in my dining area and we don't even have a stove here, she recalled. I finally called my landlord and I'm like, did someone pass away in this building? Because I can really feel someone's here.' "

*****

Someone had indeed passed away in the building. In 2002, it was home to Richard Harold Adama and his wife, Pat. Richard took a nap in what is now a room for beauty treatments, and never woke up.

Parker says she wasn't surprised to learn that -- but she was stopped in her tracks by something she and a client saw under her wash basin one day.

"When I glanced over, I was in such shock. I'm like, Oh my God! A cat!' And I'm like Corinne look!' And she's like Oh my God! A cat!' " Parker said.
