Teaching Retreat III

Path of Love Teaching Retreat and Training
Issues of Power and Shadow
with Turiya & Rafia

"To confront a person with his shadow is to show him his own light."
C.G. Jung

This teaching retreat and training is for people that want to go deeper into themselves and deeper into the Path of Love work. It is an environment for graduates of Path of Love to do further self-exploration work and to re­ceive training in the essence of the Path of Love.

During the Path of Love process participants are asked to look into their own darkness or shadow and to bring what they find into the open for themselves and others to see. This is obviously very challenging as it is clear that if something is in darkness it is in some way also unconscious and often has been repressed due to trauma and/or strong conditioning.

The understanding regarding the shadow is that unless it is looked into and in some way faced and exposed it has power over us and will find ways to be expressed unconsciously.

Often we find the keys to our own love, strength, power, compassion and joy in precisely those things, which we have disowned, repressed and judge. What we react to in the inner and outer world is often simply a doorway to our essence and a call to integration and unity. It is the longing for Oneness that calls us to embrace and make conscious all that we are - the Light and the Dark. Path of love provides a challenging but supportive and loving environment for people to do this important inquiry in. The retreat will teach ways to work with issues that have to do with our Shadow and will also focus on a specific aspect of our essence, which has to do with Power. This retreat invites a deep exploration and will use teaching, inquiry and the specific methodology of the Path of Love in situations of supervision with Rafia and Turiya. Some small group work and meditations during the Retreat will be led by people that have been accepted into the Training Program of the Path of Love.
