Speaking to Rafia Morgan, co-founder of Path Retreats, after the inaugural Love in Action in Croatia, his words flow forth with phrases like ‘special glow to it’ and ‘profound presence in the room’.
Love in Action is the final piece of the Path of Love, the part where we take love and transformation out into the world. Time to give back, time to be in service. This seems so relevant right now when inequality is so rife globally and the need for us to step up and out is so needed.
The Path of Love in Croatia was our first Love in Action program. It consisted of a 7-day Path of Love Retreat in Croatia where the participants only paid for material costs and the staff all gave their time and services for free. There was no agenda beforehand with regards to the war in former Yugoslavia but the attendance of participants from Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, and Bosnia made it significant nevertheless.
“We chose the countries of ex-Yugoslavia as both Turiya and I have a special love of that part of the world,” says Rafia. “We have travelled there extensively and worked in-depth with a group which was mostly Croatian for 8 years. We are, of course, aware that many of the people in the region went through a horrible war but as a subject we didn’t mention it directly, trusting instead that if there were issues about it as part of a participants opening, they would address them themselves and we were confident we would be able to respond appropriately.”
All together there were 52 participants and 54 staff in a hotel near the border with Slovenia. We were a great team…even the people who worked in the hotel ended up wanting to do the Path of Love, once they witnessed the effects!
“Doing it reminded me of why we created the Path of Love, people were so in their genuine feelings and exchanging them. That level of connection is what makes people feel met, extended, expanded. It was a joy to be in there with them. There was a huge generosity of spirit.”
And was it any different?
“Well, it had that inspired extra glow of a first happening. It makes me so happy to have started these Love in Action events, this really feels like a completion to me, to really give without asking for anything back.”
Absolutely unexpected, unbelievable experience that has changed and will change my life. I am so grateful for all the people that were here to support us.

I found my inner space and I saw it was not ugly and threatening and scary, but vivid, alive, and beautiful instead.

I have never felt so loved and cared for in my life. Through grace this opened the doors to myself. Finding out the vulnerability I was always so ashamed of is one of my most precious gifts is immensely valuable for me.

After this incredible, honest, supportive, and intimate process I was able to dive deep into myself and let the sunlight in my body and soul, which led me to fall in love with myself again.

The Path of Love helped me to identify the true me, with all my flaws and good qualities, and gave me the means to lower the barriers which are stopping me from living a full life. It strengthened my trust in myself and gave me the confidence to show more love and find fulfillment in my life.

Jung said that it’s not possible to become enlightened by imagining pictures of light, but by becoming aware of the unconscious. In other words, by facing our dark side. And truly it is my Path of Love experience that by facing that place we are mostly ashamed to look at, we realize it is nothing but a place where the light could not come through.

Path of Love is just the beginning. The next step is living totally and finding our unique path. Despite all the overwhelming challenges of life, both inner and outer, when we remember our deep commitment and listen to our longing, we discover the willingness to speak our truth, feel our vulnerability, and accept the humanness of who we are. This is where we find the courage to live an authentic life. Deepening on the Path is a wonderful opportunity to come together for further exploration, inspiration and connection.

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.

July 16 – 21, 2024 Andalusia, Spain
(In English)
Retreat Title: Relating on the Path
Retreat Description:
A unique 5-day summer retreat in the mountains of Andalusia for Path Of Love graduates with a longing to inquire into relationships and intimacy. We will employ the approach and tools of Path Of Love to explore our innate qualities, gender roles, relationship patterns, and sexuality.
How we walk our path, how we love and express ourselves, both in the spiritual and physical sense, is greatly impacted by a harmonious and respectful interaction between the feminine and masculine energies within our psyche, regardless of our gender identity.
This retreat is for people who want to free themselves from old relating patterns and stereotypical gender roles to realize their deepest potential in love. Reacting On The Path is an invitation to connect with each other honestly and with deep respect. Together we can overcome what stands between us and fulfilling relationships: Feelings of inadequacy, disconnect, fear, shame or jealousy – feelings which we attempt to compensate for by pleasing, competing with, or controlling the other.
Here, we will support each other to embrace our vulnerability and responsibility. Now doors can open for you to embody the depth and joy of your love as it wants to share itself through your qualities, through your unique fragrance, colors and flavors.
This process is born from an authentic longing to recognize and fully live our truth in our relationships.
