The path to real self-love through honesty, acceptance and presence
Self-love is often misunderstood. It does not come from positive thinking, but from the willingness to be honest and present with what we actually feel.
Anger, hurt, shame, and the parts of ourselves we tend to hide often stand between us and the love and aliveness we long for. When these parts are allowed and met with presence, the energy behind them begins to release, and a more natural sense of joy, connection, and love can arise.
In this experiential online event, we will explore how we will explore how facing our shadow with honesty, acceptance and presence can open the way to real self-love as a direct experience rather than an idea.
A Free Online Event Open to All

Leaders
This Free Online Event is led by two of our highly experienced retreat leaders
Sambhavo Lombardo
Sambhavo is a highly qualified clinical psychologist who listens with presence and works with depth. He guides people through breakdown and awakening with the precision of science and the softness of meditation. Trained in the mind, rooted in the heart, he meets others where pain becomes possibility.
With a Clinical Masters, a Ph.D. in Psychology and a life of meditation, Sambhavo holds spaces where masks fall and truth begins. For over two decades, he’s walked beside those ready to go beyond therapy, into transformation and realisation. His gift is simple: to see the essence beneath the survival patterns, and to call it lovingly home.
He is a Path of Love therapist in English, Italian, and Spanish, currently offering Path of Love retreats in Italy, Greece and Canada.
Rani Bossot
Rani has been deeply involved with Path of Love since 1996 — a long-standing journey including both leadership and core organisation. Presence, self-inquiry, meditation, and a genuine joy and curiosity to find the truth are at the heart of her work. Over the past 35 years, she has trained and certified in a wide range of bodywork modalities, as well as humanistic and somatic therapies.
Rani is an Integrative Somatic Psychology practitioner (trained with Dr. Raja Selvam), a certified Holistic Counsellor (SIAF), and an End-of-Life Doula (INELDA). Her training also includes relationship work focused on the inner child, early attachment, and male–female dynamics (with Rafia Morgan and Turiya Hanover), as well as Inner Man–Inner Woman counselling (with Rafia Morgan and Yoga Sudha). In addition, she has been certified in multiple bodywork arts since 1990.
In her groups and individual sessions, Rani integrates body-oriented therapy with approaches such as the Enneagram, Essence work, emotional release, somatic resourcing, self-reflection, and object relations work.
Her approach invites a natural unfolding, grounded in acceptance and open to the full spectrum of human experience: strength and vulnerability, emotion and stillness, shadow and light.
At her core, Rani remains a seeker, bringing compassion, kindness, a deep passion for life, and the courage to be fully alive.
Her guiding motto: Relax. Trust. Let go.
