A Woman's Time Out: A Come Home to Unity Village Retreat

Wouldn’t You Love a Time Out?

• Do you regularly take time for yourself?
• Do you practice radical self-care?
• Do you long for some “me time” spent with other women who want 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 whatever doesn’t). You’ll have the freedom to spend some time alone and/or create new friendships.

We will gather every morning and evening to share music, movement, small group work, prayer, meditation, and laughter, then take the afternoon for whatever you like. (A relaxing massage? A nap? A hike in the woods? Nothing at all?)

Women’s Time Out will lead you on a path of self-discovery, looking at where your heart is calling you, what you need to let go of, and what you want to step into.

About Karen Drucker

I truly feel like everything happens for a purpose.

I grew up in Hollywood—Laurel Canyon—and it feels like it was divine destiny that Carole King would move a few doors down and I would become the babysitter for her two small children. I was 15, kind of a nerd with braces, acne, and straightening my curly hair every day. One day I came home from school and Carole’s piano was in my bedroom. She was remodeling her house and needed a place to store it for a few months. That was my opening to pursue my dream of being a singer/songwriter just like her. I taught myself how to play piano, wrote cheesy, teenage-angst-songs, and fell in love with music.

When I went to Hollywood High School I discovered acting, comedy, and the joy of being on stage. I idolized Carol Burnett and dreamed of being a musical comedy actress. After high school I moved to San Francisco to go to school but also to develop my act in the comedy clubs.

I played piano, sang, and did comedy anywhere I could—bars, nightclubs, comedy clubs, hot dog stand openings. You name it—I would be there! I started playing private parties and leading bands, singing “Evergreen” and “New York, New York.” Not my idea of fame, but hey, it paid the rent!

Then one day a friend asked me to sub for her at a New Thought church. I had no idea what this was about, but it was a job on a Sunday morning and she said, “Just sing a few happy songs and you’ll be fine.” Singing at that church was a huge turning point for me. Who knew that singing at that church would lead me to the life I lead today: speaking and singing my original songs at New Thought churches around the country, facilitating women’s retreats, being a keynote speaker at mind-body-health conferences, and producing 20 CDs of my inspirational songs. My music is used for people going through cancer treatments, by workshop leaders and authors, and people who tell me that my music inspires and comforts them.

I truly do feel that everything happens for a purpose, and I am glad that I found mine.
