Retreat Title: Peace, Power and the Shadow

Retreat Description: This four day retreat for Path of Love graduates will bring inquiry, meditation and reflection on our relationship with peace, power and the shadow.
 
Guilt, Fear, Shame, Anger, Rage…the Shadow Side…
 
How often do you minimise, hide, ignore, push away, and/or suppress your unwanted emotions, feelings, and judgements – otherwise known as our shadow or ‘dark side’?
 
By pushing our unwanted thoughts or feelings aside, these emotions become trapped under the surface where they can unconsciously control our actions and thinking. They also take up a tremendous amount of life force which is then not available for us to experience love, joy or creativity.
 
How well can you live, move and connect if you are only half present?
 
In order to make room for more positive experiences we need to consciously feel and accept these unexpressed shadow feelings. Then, we can regain a deeper sense of peace and wellbeing.
 
This teaching retreat will include enquiry, guided meditations, exercises, teachings, movement and burns. We will explore one of the fundamentals of our Path Retreats’ style of work and learn the tools to consciously and in a safe and real way begin to explore, expose and experience these dark places. As we do that, we can begin to reclaim a new approach to life, resulting in a deeper feeling of peace and experience of self love.

“This work has given me a medium, support, and the inspiration for my personal inner journey. It’s awakened my passion for the healing that is possible, for myself, for each of us, and for this planet.”

An accident in her late teens shook Gita’s identity and created an opening into being. In the wake of this event she gradually abandoned her university studies and trained in the modalities which helped her heal: Bioenergetics (A. Lowen), Biodynamic Massage (G. Boyesen) and Rebirthing (L. Orr). After practicing Zen Buddhism and Sufism for some time, she met Osho in 1983. This meeting was an initiation into a whole different level of inquiry into the human condition and into silence.

Gita’s passion for grasping the correlation of ego personality (our strategies and wounds) and of who we truly are (our nature and essence) led her to further training in Psychic Massage, Counseling, Hypnosis, Voice Dialogue, Osho Meditative Therapies, The Art of Dying, and Essence work. The focus of her in-depth training became Developmental Trauma Healing, Systemic Constellations (B. Hellinger), energy work and meditation (Osho Academy), early and adult attachment (D. Siegel and D. Poole-Heller) and Somatic Experiencing™️ (P. Levine).

Since the early nineties, Gita has been creating and leading conscious touch trainings, primal and tantra intensives and residential retreats for women. She has been mentoring somatic psychotherapists and meditation teachers since the late nineties. Before moving from Germany to Sedona, AZ, in 2005 she co-developed emotional intelligence retreats for Daimler-Chrysler management and taught those for several years.

In her life and work Gita keeps learning how fully embracing what is – hurt and uncertainty as well as the vital and joyful – opens the gate to presence, connection and courage. The trust to risk what was known in order to receive the new has always been a key to a fulfilled life to her.

In the early 80’s, Sudhir worked as German engineer developing cars. But he felt that there was more to life than money and success and decided to drop his promising career to travel around the world in search for meaning and purpose.

In 1986 he came for his first visit to India where he started his spiritual studies at a yoga Ashram in Kerala. After his yoga teacher certification, he continued to travel and a year later met the Indian Mystic Osho. He stayed at the Osho Commune in Poone for 11 years. There he participated in the Osho counseling course and was invited to work in the commune as a seminar leader.

After years of practice and education in Meditation, Inner Child Therapy, Bioenergetics, Breath Therapy, Group Dynamics, NLP, Hellinger Family Constellation, Stress Management and many more holistic healing techniques, he began to travel around the world to lead courses at personal growth centers in Europe and the US.

In 1995 he was appointed to lead the Mystery School at the Osho Center for Transformation, which was at the time the world’s largest center for personal growth. In his role of faculty director, he was responsible for program design and training for a team of counselors and therapists.

Now 30 years later, Sudhir’s passion continues to be supporting people in their personal transformation, helping them to live their full potential.

In den frühen 80er Jahren arbeitete Sudhir als deutscher Ingenieur an der Entwicklung von Autos. Aber er spürte, dass es im Leben mehr gibt als Geld und Erfolg, und beschloss, seine vielversprechende Karriere aufzugeben, um auf der Suche nach Sinn und Zweck um die Welt zu reisen.

1986 kam er zum ersten Mal nach Indien, wo er seine spirituellen Studien in einem Yoga-Ashram in Kerala begann. Nach seiner Yogalehrer-Zertifizierung reiste er weiter und traf ein Jahr später den indischen Mystiker Osho. Er blieb 11 Jahre lang in der Osho-Kommune in Poone. Dort nahm er an dem Osho-Beratungskurs teil und wurde eingeladen, in der Kommune als Seminarleiter zu arbeiten.

Nach jahrelanger Praxis und Ausbildung in Meditation, Innerer-Kind-Therapie, Bioenergetik, Atemtherapie, Gruppendynamik, NLP, Hellinger-Familienaufstellung, Stressmanagement und vielen weiteren ganzheitlichen Heiltechniken begann er, um die Welt zu reisen, um Kurse in Zentren für persönliches Wachstum in Europa und den USA zu leiten.

1995 wurde er zum Leiter der Mysterienschule am Osho Center for Transformation ernannt, das damals das weltweit größte Zentrum für persönliches Wachstum war. In seiner Rolle als Fakultätsleiter war er für die Programmgestaltung und die Ausbildung eines Teams von Beratern und Therapeuten verantwortlich.

Heute, 30 Jahre später, besteht Sudhirs Leidenschaft weiterhin darin, Menschen bei ihrer persönlichen Transformation zu unterstützen und ihnen zu helfen, ihr volles Potenzial zu leben.

Workshop Location:

“Have you been to the desert? The silence, the eternal silence of the desert … sands spreading unto eternity…a purity, a cleanliness. Going to the desert is only symbolic of going into meditation.” – Osho
 
Moa is an astonishing retreat centre in the vast, untouched Negev desert, in the south of Israel. It is located along the ancient Nabatean incense route that runs between the legendary city of Petra and the seaport of the Mediterranean. The area was recently declared a world heritage site.
 
Moa is also a Buddhist centre with a community of people who dedicate their lives to meditation and self-exploration. Here Buddhist of all ages and backgrounds are serving as hosts, preparing the food, meditating, moving in service in a subtle synchronicity. This creates a powerful field, a Buddha-field, where the heart is taken into its depth, feels safe, supported, nourished and loved.
 
Moa is a place where you are not distracted by the world, a place of meditation in which silence echoes in the vastness of the sky, a paradise on earth, which offers ideal conditions for deep transformation and expansion of awareness.
 
“A meditator needs no personal guidance. A meditator, on the contrary, needs only one thing: the atmosphere of meditation. He needs other meditators; he needs to be surrounded by other meditators. Because whatever goes on happening within us is not only within us, it affects people who are close by. In this communion people are at different stages of meditation. To meditate with these people, just to sit silently with these people, and you will be pulled more and more towards your own intrinsic potentiality.” – Osho

Satir), NLP, Hypnosis, Somatic Experiencing™ (Peter Levine), Ego Psychology, Family Constellation, Enneagram and Astrology.

Turiya’s personal journey into human development started when she did her first encounter workshop in 1970, Germany.

In 1971, Turiya and her husband were part of developing the first German Humanistic Psychology Growth Centre, known as Zist.

The revelation and exploration of this Humanistic Psychology took Turiya by surprise. The internal shift that she experienced was so profound that her, and her husband, set on a new course of human exploration, which lead them to India. There, she discovered a revolutionary form of teaching from a mystic Indian man. Through a synthesis of Meditation and western psychology, she developed a unique approach that brings East and West together.

The sudden, unexpected death of her husband marked a turning point for Turiya. This experience deeply influenced her own personal search and how she works with people today.

Turiya’s work brings essential tools into our daily lives. Through years of experience in working with different cultures and thousands of people worldwide, recognising that same common thread, her work has now evolved around transforming old behavioural patterns and discovering new grounds and dimensions to live and to be.

Through her work arises a deep sense of reconciliation with your being and thus remember your passionate, curious and joyful inner nature.

Turiyas’ other great love is painting.

Her passion is in inspiring people to reconnect with themselves and reclaim their joy in life.

“I was born in the late 60’s, a time of radical thinking and revolutionary approaches to human psychology and group therapy. As a child I grew up in a conscious community and was fortunate enough to sit with Osho until he left his body in 1990. Growing up in a conscious community, I had a rare opportunity to partake in a multitude of meditations and workshop retreats. Much of the teachings while sitting with Osho were on human psychology and awareness. This became one of the most illuminating and enriching experiences in my own development growing up, and one that continues to shape my life today… so working with people felt like a natural and intuitive step to being in service to personal development work.”

Rupda has studied Hypnosis Mastery with Stephan Gilligan, Life Mastery with Tony Robbins, NVC with Dorset Campbell-Ross, and is an NLP Practitioner studying under John Grinder. She has earned numerous working with people certifications, has studied the Enneagram & Essence work, is a certified Holistic Counsellor through S.I.A.F. and a certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner from Peter Levine’s SE® Institute of Trauma Healing.

Ritu was a political activist and feminist in Italy since a young age.  In 1978 she hitchhiked her way to India where she met her spiritual Master Osho.  She dropped out of University and spent the next 12 years living in Osho communes in India and Oregon, USA.

After Osho left the body, she dedicated herself to meditation for 14 years in a small commune in the Himalayas. Participating in the Path of Love ignited her desire for sharing. She is now a practicing Holistic Counsellor, a facilitator in Path of Love Retreats and a Biodynamic Craniosacral therapist. She also runs workshops designed for women.

Ritu loves to help people become free from limiting identifications so that they can find their True Self. Osho’s work of “Cleaning the unconscious“ informed her personal exploration and now her work with people. She creates a place of trust and intimacy where self-exploration goes very deep and becomes transformational.

Ritu è stata una attivista politica e una femminista in Italia sin da molto giovane. Nel 1978 andò in autostop in India dove incontro’ il Maestro spirituale Osho. Abbandono’ gli studi universitari e visse per 12 anni nelle comuni di Osho, in India e negli Stati Uniti.

Dopo la morte di Osho si dedicò alla meditazione per 14 anni, in una piccola comunità nell’Himalaya. In seguito, partecipare al Path of Love accese il suo desiderio di condividere se’ stessa ed essere di aiuto.

Ora è un Counselor Olistico , una facilitatrice nei Path of Love Retreats e una terapista di Craniosacrale Biodinamico . Conduce anche gruppi di crescita personale per donne.

Ritu ama aiutare le persone a integrare e accettare i diversi aspetti delle loro personalità, e le supporta a liberarsi da condizionamenti e false identificazioni così che possano riconnettersi al loro vero Essere. Sa creare uno spazio di fiducia e intimità dove il lavoro di esplorazione e trasformazione può andare in profondità.

Milan supports people in safe, loving and respectful environments to deepen their awareness of their life’s unfolding, and nourish self-love and acceptance.

His work emphasizes the relationships we create throughout our lives with our family of origin, in our love relationships, with our children and in our professional and personal lives. He works with individuals and couples in his clinic in Tel-Aviv or via Skype, and leads therapy and personal growth workshops across Europe.

A broad understanding of the human psyche, its cultural and collective conditioning, and a deep understanding of the body’s reaction to traumatic events are his keys in working with people. On an even deeper level, Milan’s love and passion to live by truth and remove all obstacles of separation guide his work.

Healing happens when a deep understanding settles inside us. These understandings or insights occur on both the cognitive and body level. Since almost all significant events in our lives also leave an imprint in the form of stuck energy and contractions in the body, the therapeutic process always includes the body on some level. A deep respect for the path others are walking on is a key foundation for creating healing spaces.

Milan’s Background:

Meera is a certified coach, leadership & team development trainer within the global Healthcare Industry and always been passionate in making a difference in people lives.

After completing an education in home economics in Germany, Meera had a strong pull to work with people, with an aim to start with the exploration of her own personality. Back in the 80’s, while getting to know meditation techniques, she was led to India. Her curiosity and longing to learn and explore was (and remains) her guiding principle. After six years of practice, experience, and support of many workshops and trainings at the Osho Meditation Resort in India, including Path of Love, Anti-Fisher Hoffman, Bioenergetics, and Group Dynamics, Meera returned to the west and began her career in the Healthcare Industry within the area of Global Talent Management and Organization Development. She first did Path of Love in 1996, and has reviewed several times since, whenever she felt the urge to reconnect to her spiritual self. The Path of Love learnings, insights and process are always in her heart and mind.

She has continued to attend train the trainer education such as strategic facilitation and stress & conflict management, combined with certifications on personality assessments such as HBDI (Herman Brain Dominance Indicator), MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) and 360 Feedback assessments; initiating and coaching individuals on their results.

In 2008, Meera started her own business combining her spiritual understanding and embodiment with an in-depth understanding of the corporate landscape. In this role she designs team development processes and coaches individuals on their personal and leadership development to explore their full potential. In her individual coaching sessions, Meera can see both sides of what Osho called the “marketplace” … what it means to deliver strategy and high performance, combined with the challenge to continue with your own personal growth and not lose your own being. She offers personal life coaching as well as business coaching.

Meera lives in Switzerland together with her husband and runs regular POL meditation evenings for the Path of Love community in Zürich.

She came to Path of Love in 2000 and holds a deep respect and awe for the powerful transformations she has witnessed in herself and fellow travelers through the vehicle of this work. She sees it as an ongoing invitation to deepen into both the sacred and the deeply human.

Tatha Gabrielle Viethen has been involved in the Path of Love since 2000. She has worked as an individual, family and couple therapist, group leader and transformational coach over three decades and is a licensed therapist in the US. She has worked in domestic and sexual abuse programs, addiction rehabilitation, and trauma recovery and has been on the faculty of a master program in transformational counseling . She has trained extensively in psychodynamic therapy, Ericksonian hypnosis, NLP, EMDR, Gestalt therapy, family therapy models, Hakomi, and integral somatic psychology.

In her twenties she began to explore her own longing for spiritual connection and soon met Osho. Under the umbrella of her love for Osho, she met many other awakened masters and over the years was fortunate to be guided in various forms of meditation, inquiry, and transformational process.

In working with people she is committed to work with our full human experience: facing the edge of pain and trauma that shut down our life force as much as inviting the courage and passion to follow our longing for awakening and deep loving connection. She believes “The way is through,” lovingly inviting each person to be authentically present in the challenges of their lives and to let go of the pain created by avoiding and defending. In Path of Love she found the most complete and authentic way to bring fully alive our passion for awakening and conscious living in this life journey .
