We have quite a large volunteer staff that is generally equal to the number of participants. They have all done the retreat themselves, and are there to support the participants and to create an environment of presence, safety, and respect.

The positive and powerful personal transformation of the Path of Love 7-Day Retreat affects people in such a way that they often volunteer to help staff future workshops to give back some of what they have received. To be a member of our volunteer staff is a profound and valuable experience, and there is often a waiting list for staff.

Our Facilitators and Leaders have many traditional and alternative trainings, both in Western psychology and Eastern meditation and mindfulness practices, and experience in various psychological and therapeutic modalities. They are also highly skilled therapists in this particular methodology and an intensive training is required to become a Path of Love Facilitator and Leader.

No, not directly. People can share about sexual issues if they feel the need; but the process itself has nothing to do with sex. We are deeply committed to upholding the boundaries and safety of all participants with the highest level of respect and integrity. Romantic or sexual relationships during the retreat are prohibited. To maintain a supportive environment, all participants and staff are required to agree, both verbally and in writing, to refrain from any romantic or sexual interactions during the retreat.
