Dear Friends,

Three years ago I did my first retreat at Alderbrook and I LOVED it! I love being right on the water and the whole atmosphere at Alderbrook creates a sweet container to let go of the outside world and just concentrate on ourselves. The beauty of the facilities, the lake and the mountains, the opportunities to go within or participate in various activities, the opportunity of going deeper with a small group of women – it feeds my soul! If this sounds good to you, then I invite you to join us at Alderbrook Resort and Spa from October 1-4. Your life just might be transformed.

The Retreat

Do you regularly take time out for yourself? Do you gift yourself with radical self-care? Do you long for some “me” time spent with other women desiring the same? In this retreat we will take time for self-reflection and renewal, looking at what works for us and what doesn’t (and how to lovingly let go of or transform the “what doesn’t”), as well as time alone and/or time to create new friendships. We gather together every morning and evening, sharing music, movement, small group work, prayer, meditation and laughter, leaving the afternoons to do whatever you would like (massage? kayaking? hiking?) – or to do nothing.

The Location

Alderbrook Resort and Spa is in Union, Washington, only 2 hours from Seattle and 2-1/2 hours from Portland. It is located on the Hood Canal, surrounded by the Olympic Mountains, a glacier-carved fjord home to eagles and osprey, salmon, and seals.

Their luxury guestrooms and accommodations have premium linens and comfy duvets, and there is a lobby with a massive stone fireplace with leather couches to sink into. There is a waterfront pool (you know where I’ll be!), a world-class full-service spa, plus some of the best food in the region, with fresh local seafood from the marina only steps away.

What to Expect from a Karen Drucker Retreat

I believe in creating community and connection between women. We do that in a way that is heart opening and fun by utilizing lots of singing (no – you don’t have to be a good singer, or know any of my songs!), group exercises and discussions (in groups of 2 or 4 women), and lots of shared wisdom and laughter. There are times when tears are appropriate, and we support each other lovingly through those times. Being in a group of like-minded women and sharing our lives allows us to open our hearts and connect to each other and ourselves in a deeper way.

“A Women’s Time Out” will lead us on a path of self-discovery, looking at what are our hearts are calling us towards, what we need to let go of, and what we want to step into.

This retreat is for you if you want to:

* Be uplifted by music that inspires and heals.
* Gain clarity on the next step in your life.
* Walk away with tools on how to practice radical self-care.
* Eat great food and be pampered.
* Spend some quality time on YOU.
* Be seen and heard.
* Be inspired by the beauty of nature.
* Start the day with “morning bliss.”
* Sing, laugh, make new friends, and return home with a faith lift!

No matter if you have been to a Karen Drucker retreat before – each one is different based on who shows up and what is happening with ourselves and in the world.

Nuts & Bolts

There are many options, and therefore varying prices, to get to Alderbrook Resort.

By Plane:
Portland Airport (PDX) – driving approximately 2 1/2 hours to Alderbrook
Seattle Airport (SEA) – driving approximately 2 hours to Alderbrook

To get to Alderbrook from the airports, it is advisable that you rent a car. Due to its remote location, a car rental may make it easier for you to explore the area in your free time.

You are welcome here, whoever you are, where ever you are on your path, give yourself this gift of a time for you….

**Please note this retreat is a gentle process of reflecting about our lives, it is not meant to be a substitute for deeper issues or therapy.**
