Join The Purple Medium, Bridgette Doerr, and The Rise of Prince author Laura Tiebert for a weekend of connection, inspiration and purple fun as we explore the meaning of the life of Prince and his messages for us.
We’ll be discussing questions such as, “What lessons can we take from the way Prince lived out his purpose, the lyrics he wrote, and the creativity he fostered in his artistic sanctuary of Paisley Park?” “How can we apply those learnings to our own lives, to step into our purpose in a creative and whole-hearted way?”
The weekend begins at 1 p.m. on Sat., Oct. 7 and concludes on Sun., Oct. 8 in the afternoon, and a Sunday morning VIP tour of Paisley Park. Group sessions will take place in a function room at the Country Inn & Suites in Chanhassen, where a block of rooms has been reserved for participants at a reduced rate ($107 standard; $109 king per night). Full details of the itinerary are below.
Cost is $350 per person, plus $107.50 for your VIP tour ticket which you will purchase yourself for the 11:00 am VIP Tour Sunday October 8, 2017. Please do NOT WAIT to purchase your tour ticket- they sell out well in advance and we'd like to keep the group together. Lodging, transportation, meals, travel expenses are additional and not included in the retreat price.

Retreat Schedule
Sat., Oct. 7
1 p.m. Opening Session at Country Inn & Suites, Chanhassen
Group introductions will begin with “what’s your Prince theme song?” Participants should plan to bring the lyrics to the song that represents you and where you are in life right now and to be prepared to share what inspired you to attend the retreat.
Bridgette will facilitate opening the purple circle with the essence, energy and inspiration of our special spirit guide to support our experience together. Laura will share life lessons from The Rise of Prince and what Prince’s life can teach us about overcoming fear, thinking big, and tapping into “the flow” with faith and focus. You’ll learn journaling techniques that will help you bring your own hidden treasures to light.
4 p.m. Graffiti Tunnel Walk and Connection Ceremony, Chanhassen
Meditative walk from the park to the graffiti tunnel with a connection ceremony and remembrance facilitated by Bridgette. We will be outside of Paisley Park at this location near the memorial fence.
