What happens during the 7-day Path of Love Process?
What happens in the Path of Love?
Path of Love is a 7-day immersive experience of deep inner work. We intentionally keep the specifics of process structure confidential, as this is an essential part of its effectiveness, but just imagine being in a room with 30-40 other like minded individuals, each of you committed to discovering and transforming the parts of yourselves that no longer serve you. Within this group, you’ll work closely with a smaller group of around 8-12 people, guided by highly skilled facilitators. The work is supported through both active and silent meditations, and the group is held in silence outside of the group room.
The process unfolds with incredible precision, each day building on the last, taking you deeper. It’s a journey of intensity, profound connection, and ultimately lightness and freedom—but that lightness is earned through courageous self-exploration.
What is the daily schedule of the Path of Love?
This week-long personal and spiritual development process is a very safe and supportive environment for you to engage in deep inner work in absolute confidentiality. Though we intentionally keep the specifics of process structure confidential, as this is an essential part of its effectiveness, some of the elements include:
- Individual and group work within what we call a small group (around 8-12 people)
- Honest self reflection and inquiry
- Deep authentic sharing
- Shadow and exposure work
- Emotional release work
- Physical movement and dance
- Meditation, contemplation and self-inquiry
- Writing assignments
- A staff to participant ratio up to 1:1
Path of Love, however, is much more than the sum of its parts. It is an incredibly well crafted process that evolves and takes you on a journey like no other, challenging and enriching you along the way—many graduates share that they experienced years of transformation in one week.
The process unfolds with incredible precision, each day building on the last, taking you deeper. It’s a journey of intensity, profound connection, and ultimately lightness and freedom—but that lightness is earned through courageous self-exploration.
Is Path of Love right for me at this time?
Path of Love is for anyone longing for personal or spiritual development; for a meaningful change in their life. The application process helps determine if this is the right retreat and the right time for you. We offer a friendly and comprehensive interview with one of our leaders or facilitators where you will be met compassionately, answer important questions to support your process, and where you can ask all and any questions you may have.
You will find you will get from the process what you bring and so finding the right time and place for you to address all your desires will be of uttermost importance. If the time is not quite right, we may suggest other preparatory steps to support you in the future and next phases of your life.
Are you ready for a new beginning?

Retreat Leaders
The retreat leaders work alongside a highly experienced team of facilitators.
Rafia Morgan
Since 1976 Rafia Morgan has been deeply involved with spiritual and personal growth work. After completing his BA in Economics at UC Berkeley he recognized a personal need to move away from social and political action and focus on inner exploration.
In 1978 he met his spiritual master and spent many years in his presence. Over the years he has passionately investigated his own inner world and has thus participated and trained in innumerable spiritual and therapeutic approaches.
Since 1977 he has been conducting workshops and trainings in countries around the world. His background, enthusiasm and commitment to spiritual awakening; his love of people, of life and the discovery of human potential give him vast resources to help people in personal growth work.
For him, the Path of Love is the ‘fastest, deepest vehicle for transformation that I know of’. He says, ‘Nothing else I have experienced addresses so profoundly and directly the existential situation of certain human beings that love and seek the Truth.”
Turiya Hanover
Turiya Hanover has extensive experience in leading personal development groups and trainings globally since 1973. Turiya has been trained in: Gestalt, Bioenergetics, Psychodrama, Family Therapy (V. 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.
