Bruce and Carol Malnor

Bruce and Carol have led nature awareness workshops and retreats for over 40 years. Trained by Joseph Cornell of Sharing Nature Worldwide, they have offered programs throughout the US and Canada, as well as in Panama, Germany, Italy, and Taiwan. Bruce and Carol have found personal inspiration and deep joy in nature and are delighted to share this retreat with you. 

In 1977 Bruce and Carol visited Song of the Morning and met Yogacharya Oliver Black, who initiated them into Kriya Yoga two years later. They lived at the Ranch from 1981-83, Bruce as a staff member and Carol as a teacher in the local area. After many years in northern California, they returned to the Ranch in 2022 to make their home in the Clear Light Community.

Integral to Bruce and Carol’s interest in nature is their profession as educators. They’ve taught elementary and high school, worked at the university level designing courses and training adjunct professors, and owned a children’s book publishing company.
