Bruce and Carol Joy Malnor

Bruce and Carol Joy 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 U.S. and Canada, as well as in Panama, Germany, Italy, and Taiwan. They have found personal inspiration and deep joy in nature and are delighted to share this retreat with you.

In 1977 Bruce and Carol Joy visited Song of the Morning Ranch 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 Joy as a teacher in the local area. After many years in northern California, they returned to the Ranch in 2021 to make their home in the Clear Light Community.

Integral to Bruce and Carol Joy’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. Throughout their careers, they’ve honed their experience in the Flow Learning Process, an educational approach they incorporate into many of their programs.
