A Retreat with Karen Drucker and Gary Lynn Floyd

When you find something that you’re passionate about in your life, it gives a purpose to everything you do. In this retreat facilitated by singers/songwriters/speakers Karen Drucker and Gary Lynn Floyd, you’ll learn how being present and combining your passion with your purpose brings you a life filled with unlimited joy!

“Everything exists for joy. There is not one other reason for life than joy. Everything exists for the purpose of joy in the moment.” ~ Abraham Hicks

Some of the questions we will be looking at in our retreat are:

     What is “presence” and how/where do you find it?

In our time together we will:

*          Experience music and meditation that drops you into stillness.
*          Take mindful walks on this sacred land stopping for “presence practices.”
*          Create spiritual practices that you can use to drop you into “presence.”

“My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.”   Maya Angelou 

     What is “passion” and how/where do you find it?

In our time together we will:

*       Identify what is your passion and how much you are expressing it.
*       Discuss ways to keep that passion flame lit and how to nurture it.
*       Commit to a passion practice.

When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor. It’s to enjoy each step along the way.”   Wayne Dyer

     What is “purpose” and how/where do you find it?

In our time together we will:

*       Recognize what is working and not working in your life
*       Discover tools to discern your next step
*       Find support in clarifying what is yours to do 

In the beautiful mountains of the northern California Sierras, you will join a group of like-minded men and women as we come together in an environment that invites you to be nurtured, seen, and heard. We will use music, movement, small group work, prayer, meditation, and laughter. Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, you are welcome here. Celebrate this gift of a special time for yourself with “Presence, Passion, and Purpose!”

This retreat is for you if you want to:

  • Be uplifted by music that inspires and heals.
  • Gain clarity on the next step(s) in your life.
  • Create stronger boundaries to stay balanced and centered.
  • Walk away with tools on how to practice radical self-care.
  • Sing, laugh, make new friends, and return home with a faith lift!
