Retreats & More

Retreats

I LOVE facilitating women’s retreats! When women come together with great food, comfortable accommodations, a relaxing schedule, and divine connections, magic can happen. It’s my job to create a safe container to allow women to feel comfortable to express who they really are. We do this with lots of singing, small group work, exercises, meditation, relaxation, pampering, and lots of laughter. When these elements come together, I get to witness beautiful transformations and these women go back into their lives with renewed aliveness and inspiration.

I have many retreat titles and themes, and am always creating new ideas that speak to the times we are living in. The most common themes are around empowerment, self-expression, self-care, creativity, loving yourself, and what your Spirit is calling you to do. I travel around the country and internationally presenting in-person retreats which can be any length – from one-day retreats up to three or four days. My virtual retreats (held on Zoom) can be one or two days, and my virtual workshops are usually four to six weeks.

Speaking and Workshops

My criteria for myself when I give a talk or workshop, whether it’s at a New Thought church, mind-body-health conference, or any kind of organization, is to “make ‘em laugh and make ’em cry.” If I can get people laughing along with me by using comedy songs or my stories, then I can feel their hearts open up and there is room for dropping down to a deeper level of truth. I have found that the combination of music, humor, and stories allows me to deliver a message that hopefully will leave people feeling more connected to themselves and to others.

The themes that I speak about typically include empowerment, self-expression, self-care, creativity, loving yourself, and what your Spirit is calling you to do.

Concerts

“Songs and Stories Concert”

I have two different types of concerts that I love to perform. Either of them fit nicely with New Thought churches, house concerts, festivals, and various organizations.

The first style of concert is my high-energy 60 to 90 minute show that combines my inspirational up-tempo songs, comedy songs, routines, and my chants. Audience participation, fun, and lightness are the themes to this show.

Depending on the budget, my show can include a piano or guitar player, a trio, or my full band with back-up singers. Or I can sing with my CD “tracks”.

“Sacred Stillness Through Music”

“Music has the ability to bypass the mind and sink into the heart. “

The other kind of musical “concert” that I offer is an audience participatory event where we sing, chant, mediate, and pray together. This is sometimes referred to as a “Taize Service.” This is a sacred, meditative, musical event where we create a holy space by spending time chanting (singing repetitive and affirmative words over and over), being in silence, listening to short sacred inspirational readings, stating our prayers or intentions, and just allowing ourselves to “be”. The stage or room is usually surrounded with candles, and the participants walk into the room in silence, feeling the sacred tone that has already been set, and leave at the end in silence.

These concerts usually have four separate themes that we weave together. We sing, speak and meditate on the themes of stillness, health, love, prayer, faith, gratitude, or anything that may be up for healing. This musical event is usually about 60 to 90 minutes.

Depending on the budget, this concert can be performed with me playing keyboard and singing accompanied by 2-3 backup singers. I can also add a bass, guitar, drums, or tabla player.

House Concerts

I love doing house concerts because they are an intimate, relaxed, and fun way for me to connect with people who appreciate music. These are an invitation-only, private event for your guests in your home with people contributing a donation to attend the show. They are typically held indoors and have enough room to seat 20-50 people in a concert setting. You can provide snacks and drinks, or some people make it into a potluck with everyone bringing something to share.

If you are interested in having me do a house concert, email us and we can talk about fees, equipment, and what it takes to make this happen.

Zoom House Concerts

Imagine having Karen Drucker performing in your home, just for you and an intimate group of friends who live in various parts of the country (or the world).…

Now take away all the work and stress it would entail to gather all of those friends, fly Karen to your house, get hotel rooms, rent cars, and all the hassles and expenses of gathering for just a few hours of entertainment.

Now imagine those same friends, and Karen Drucker, simply accepting an invitation on Zoom to “be” in “your house” for an intimate concert with the click of a button.

The possibilities are endless!

Karen Drucker is available to perform a custom concert for you and your friends – (it’s best if it’s a group that can all fit on one Zoom screen – 16 with a max of 25) performing your favorite songs, telling stories, taking requests, chatting with your guests, answering questions – however you want to use the 90-minute time slot.

It’s up to you who gets to be part of this one-time intimate experience.

If you are interested, send us an email and we will figure out all the details including cost, when, all the “how to’s,” etc.
