A Growing Urge to Make a Difference

Are you feeling the shifts and a deep yearning to make some big changes? The Make a Difference from Where You Are, French Alps Retreat invites you to join talented teachers who have all experienced and continue to experience major life changes.

Their aim?

To offer you the tools and some powerful experiences to boost your self-confidence, and urge you to more deeply trust the synchronicities and guidance you're naturally feeling and follow your heart. You'll be inspired to move from an outer focus to what's truly important to you -- and explore ways to make a difference and make the world a better place from where you are. We'll use writing, extreme art, and yoga to align you with your purpose, encourage you to step beyond your comfort zone, and reach new heights of inspiration.

What people say about past retreats:

"I can't thank you enough for the retreat in June (2016) you gave me so much positivity and I would love to do it again." -- OS, Los Angeles, CA

“I just wanted to send you a quick email to tell you how grateful I am for the sessions which I attended with you in Geneva. They have really made a lasting impact on me. I have been mediating more and more and its great!” – SJ in Dubai

“Debra resists ‘telling’ in favor of guiding you to your own discoveries. She will then help you to discover what is truth for you – or encourage you to continue seeking. She is real and she is amazing [and] has a true caring nature.” -  PR, French Alps Retreat 2014, Charlotte, NC


Who Will Benefit

The retreat is for anyone seeking to make the next big leap and find the courage to do it. Maybe you've been thinking about starting a new business, writing that book, moving to a new place, or changing careers. But stepping out of your usual comfort zone feels scary and unfamiliar.

In this retreat, you'll be encouraged to tap into inner resources and wisdom and trust your inner voice and intuition. You'll be encouraged to gain more Self-confidence and trust the inner whispering of your spirit as you align with it more deeply.

You have the wisdom to know what you're being called to do and where you're being called to go. You know what is "on purpose" for you. In this retreat you'll gain the tools to listen to your inner guidance and learn to trust it. The retreat aims to help you connect with your inner gifts, talents, and wisdom.

Past retreats have attracted participants from all around the world and from a broad array of backgrounds including scientists, lawyers, people in healing professions, yoga teachers, artists, students, retirees, and people in transition looking for a new career.  People have come from as far away as Los Angeles, California and Tasmania, Australia.  The retreat will provide an opportunity to step out of the ordinary rush into a pristine natural area of the French  Alps. In this silence and natural beauty, miracles of self-discovery abound.


No prior writing experience is necessary.

Bring an open heart and mind and give yourself a chance to experiment and enjoy your natural creativity in a beautiful environment with caring and gifted teachers. You'll be encouraged to try all of the sessions, yet there may be times when you wish to relax or explore nature, watch the river flow, or sit at a village cafe on your own. Let us know when you plan to slip away, then enjoy some time alone.


What You'll Gain from the Retreat:
  • a chance to reconnect with your purpose
  • time and tools to help you rediscover what's essential to you.
  • a deeper understanding of the benefits of some practices like meditation.
  • a more meaningful connection to your own inner wisdom and intuition.
  • an opportunity to tap into your creative energy and use it in your life.
  • a space and encouragement to explore writing as a way to develop self-expression and self-awareness.
  • an opportunity to meet and make friends with people from around the world.
  • an appreciation of the natural beauty of the French Alps. 
  • time with experienced teachers.

Give yourself a gift of space and time that you will cherish.

Feedback from 2016 Retreat


"I loved it! I loved the flow and interweaving of the different elements which enhanced each other and the three of you worked together wonderfully. I loved that the main focus was on freeing creativity, inspiring, and creating understanding and connection, rather than an over structured, technique-based approach. - SR, Spain
