FRIDAY NIGHT PAJAMA PARTY

Remember your days as a giggling grade-school girl pulling your first slumber party all-nighter in your parent’s basement? Revisit that nostalgia in the Great Hall of the Jasper Park Lodge in the lap of unpretentious pampering. Only now no one is going to scold you for staying up too late, laughing too loudly or tell you to turn the music down. Wear your favorite flannels to this mix and mingle and enjoy some delicious hors’d oeuvres.

This is the official opening of an indulgent weekend of food, fun and friends…not to mention more than a few libations.

DANCE PARTY

Do you remember how much you loved to dance as a teen - sock hops, school dances and dancing at home in front of a mirror where only your stuffed animals could see you in the privacy of your bedroom. Well it's time to bust out your craziest moves and dance, dance, dance. Our offical DJ Murray Taylor will spin your favorite songs that will keep you grooving and shaking all night. Let your hair down and your happy-feet will boogie as dance fever sweeps the floor. Visit www.murtor.com

SATURDAY AFTERNOON SESSIONS

CONFESSIONS OF A BABY BOOMER BOMBSHELL
Comedy Entertainment starring Zandra Bell

In these trying times of text messaging, body piercing and people eating bugs for money o Shirley Best n reality TV, a world in turmoil called out for a hero. She was SHIRLEY - a warrior housewife forged in the heat of battle...of the bulge.

Shirley Best is the hilariously outspoken alter ego of motivational humorist, and corporate inspirational innovator, Zandra Bell. She fires off jokes like automatic weapons and will have you rolling in the aisles as she offers up charmingly irreverent commentary on everything from pantyhose to psychoanalysis and pokes fun at men, women and life.

Back by Popular Demand. Zandra Bell leads a double life. One body - two women. During the weekend you'll meet Zandra with her long luscious copper curls, impeccable makeup and chic sense of style. At her performance you'll meet Shirley Best, a frumpy fifty-something who wears little (much to little) suits, dorky glasses, rouge that glows like a pair of nuclear apples and always, a pert hat.

Zandra is a full time humorist, writer, performer and motivational speaker. A member of the Canadian Assocation of Professional Speakers and the National Speakers Association, these days she is renowned on the business scene for creating motivational 'humour in the workplace' presentations customized specifically to the clients industry, profession or theme. Bell's numerous awards and varied talents were showcased on a segment of CBC's "On the Road Again" and she has been featured on WTN's "She's So Funny" and CBC Radio's "Madly Off in All Directions."

DREAMSCAPING
Marty Avery

You have a good life. You've accomplished quite a bit: there's much that you are proud of. You've survived stuff that no one would wish on themselves, and you're stronger, smarter, better for it. But inside you there's a whisper tugging at your ear. The voice wonders "Isn't there something else? Some more magic to be sparked, joys to be felt, dreams to be explored?" To which you reply, "Like what?"

Dreamscapes are a way to listen more deeply to your inner self. Better than setting goals, Dreamscaping uncovers your innermost wishes and desires and makes them visible. Dreamscapes are a collage of what your life looks like. Not your probable life, or the one you'll settle for, but your dream life. No 'creativity' or meditation is required. If you can flip through magazines, use scissors safely and wield a glue stick, you've got what it takes to do a Dreamscape.

Please bring 6 or more magazines, scissors and a glue stick and Marty will explain what to do next. Come join us to start your journey into your landscape of dreams.

PS...If you would like to get a jump start before the event, please relax with a pile of your favorite magazines, then tear or cut out any words, phrases, colours or images that appeal to you. Work quickly. Don't think, just grab whatever appeals. Bring your cuttings, scissors and a glue stick to the session.

Chief Catalyst with What If? Marty is a sideways thinker who connects people and processes to create flourising enterprises and fulfilled lives. She has presented on Leading Ideas with Paul Kennedy of CBC's Ideas, was on the Prime Minister's Task Force on Women Entrepreneurs, have been featured in Fortune, Profit and Inc. magazines as well as the art film Wild Hearts: Women Explorers.

SEE, SNIFF, SWIRL & SPIT (only if you want to)
WINE TASTING with Wine Girl, Erin Rosar

Erin Rosar is a rare vintage, indeed. Her enthusiasm for wine is undeniable and so is her expertise. She's a widely renowned sommelier and Instructor with the International Sommelier Guild, yet she insists that wine should be fun and user friendly. That thinking led her to create Wine Girl (WG) a kind of alter ego who is gradually spreading the message of wine enjoyment to the masses. Because Erin likes talking about wine just as much as she like sampling it she is in constant demand as a speaker and sharing her passion for the world's wines with her audiences is what Rosar does best. She is the founder of WG Wine Consulting Inc.www.wgwines.com

Please note: As this session is an actual tasting of 4 wines per participant, pre-registration is required so that we know how many glasses of wine need to be poured in advance. Class size limited to 100. Register at the Pajama Party Registration desk when you arrive at the hotel.

RAVE REVIEWS

"What a delight it was being at The Pajama Party. I knew I'd have fun but I hadn't reckoned on the deep, new friendships I would forge during the event. Everything was first-rate and I'm grateful to have been pampered with such style. Thank you!"

Marty Avery

"Pampering at it's best! You will be planning your return before the weekend is even over."

Adrianne Schultz

"My girlfriend has been trying to get me to come for years and while I believed that it would be fun weekend, I had no idea how absolutely amazing it would be. It's hard to describe, you really DO have to experience it. I'm coming back every year."

Madeline Brooks

My sister and I had not spend a carefree weekend together in over 20 years. We decided it was long overdue and scheduled our pajama party retreat 6 months in advance to ensure we could go. It was beyond our expectations, beyond fun, beyond therapeutic. We are sold and very grateful for the pajama party planners. We will be back in 2012!

Lori Archibald

"It was once again, a fun weekend. Met lots of wonderful women and totally rocked our jammies!"

Brenda Mcleod-Grosenick

Had the most wonderful time. Jasper Park Lodge staff were amazing, not the mention the location. All the events & seminars were a blast. Good food, drinks, dancing, girlfriends and new friends is a fantastic way to spend the weekend. We've vowed to come every year from now on. Thank you!

Carrie Mae Bremner-Carr

"The laughter that filled my belly and soul this weekend was just the nourishment I was looking for. I had the time of my life. There is zero stress. No one feels like it is an event where you need to be someone or act in a certain way or spout your klout. Everyone is just there having fun, lots and lots of fun and giggles."

Michelle Davies

"This was the second PJ Party we've been to. Gotta love our boss. He wants the girls at work to bond, and do we ever have a great time! We will be there again next year for sure."

Maureen Bailey Williams

"What a amazing weekend!!!!! Alberta Parenting for the Future spoiled their employees with this incredible weekend. There was 24 wonderful co-workers getting to bond at the Pajama Party weekend!!! Amazing!!!!!"
