The Path of Love is an intensive, loving and liberating process that invites us to drop from mind to heart, to trust our feelings more than our thoughts. Most of us feel that something is missing, some unknowable longing for truth, love and compassion. It may be the pain of isolation, a deep desire for inner peace, trust or joy. This yearning becomes our guide through many layers of emotionally charged defences, identification and limiting beliefs.
Established 22 years ago in India, now in 14 countries around the world, and in 6 languages, the Path of Love 7 Day residential retreat has helped thousands of people to make profound and lasting shifts towards living a more fullfilling and passionate life.
Take the next step in uncovering your true nature. Come walk the Path of Love with us, and join an international community of graduates willing to share the strength of vulnerable hearts, radical honesty, and creative visions.

BioDynamic Breathwork for Healing and Release
- April 10-11, 2021 Online via Zoom video conferencing. Group will be held 10am-5pm Pacific time each day
- December 11-12, 2021 Online via Zoom video conferencing. Group will be held 9am-4pm Pacific time each day
Trauma and chronic stress are held in the body, restricting our breath, blocking the flow of bioenergy, and limiting the natural expression of feeling, connection, and essence.
Trauma and chronic stress also leaves a deep emotional impact that can give rise to a range of feelings, including profound sadness, anger, disbelief, anxiety, or even guilt.
BioDynamic Breathwork is a profound and revolutionary system of embodiment and breathwork that integrates deep connected breathing with specially designed practices to release stress held in your nervous system and expand your capacity to contain and support the free flow of your energy.
If you’re looking to clear the traumatic blockages that affect your mental and physical health, join us for this special online event with Prema McKeever. This transformative two-day online workshop explores the BioDynamic Breathwork & Trauma Release System® 6-Element approach to empower your body’s natural process for healing. Prema supports you in opening your breath and body as you gently move through layers of body tension, discovering where and how past trauma and emotional stress is being stored in your physical body.
You’ll explore the use of breath as the main tool for creating change on the somatic level, along with supporting practices of movement, touch, sound, conscious emotional expression, and meditation. In addition to Breathwork practices and sessions, Prema shares valuable information on the anatomy of breathwork, the physiology of trauma, and the key role of embodiment and somatic practices in releasing trauma without feelings of overwhelm and drain. Releasing our core tension unbinds incredible amounts of energy, which can fuel creativity, improve meditation, and help us live more fully.
This two-day online workshop is suitable for anyone with a passion for breathwork or those who are simply curious about the power of the breath-body connection and embodied approaches to healing from trauma and easing stress.
For further information and registration please contact Prema.

Join us on this special journey through childhood and the formation of important mind-body patterns known as “Character Structures” that imprint the story of our early life into our emotional and physical body.
There are five primary character types or structures, first identified by Austrian psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich. Although we might embody aspects of different character types, we tend to have one or two types that are dominant within us.
Each type, which can be represented by a bodily posture, emotional profile, and manner of showing up in the world, can be traced to a different age of wounding and requires a different skillset to navigate.
This group is a deep exploration of the stages of our development, paying particular attention to the patterns formed when specific needs such as safety, support for our needs, trust, boundaries, healthy aggression, autonomy, emotionally attuned connection and more are not met. The resulting developmental disruption or trauma gets “hard-wired” into our body in the form of “armouring”, actually shaping our bodies and the flow of vital life energy within us. This armouring strongly affect our behaviours, beliefs and personality – beyond conscious awareness – like default programs shaping how we live our lives.
In this highly experiential group we will re-connect with the language of our bodies, exploring the Character Structures as a pathway for healing and personal growth. We will take a deep look at our own childhood; what needs were met and not met, what did we learn about boundaries, individuality, safety and connection, shame and worthiness, and how is that held in our body and still impacting us today. We will exploring different ways to access what is hidden inside and safety support our nervous system to release layers of flight/fight/freeze.
You will learn about:
- The core developmental needs that have to be met in our 5 stages of development from conception to age six.
- How to dismantle the “psychological body armor” you’ve worn for far too long
- Attachment Theory and how these earliest lessons in relationships affect you today.
- Understanding and working with shame.
- How to support nervous system regulation, trauma release, and healthy attachment.
- And much more!
The group is open to everyone – whether you are coming for your own trauma healing or you work with people. There are no prerequisites except a curiosity to know what lies within.
The cost for this 6 session series is $325 USD. While it is ideal to attend every session, I understand that is not always possible so every session will be recorded and available for download.

Awakening of Love
- April 24-25, 2021 Online via Zoom video conferencing
- August 20-22, near Montreal, Quebec
The Awakening of Love weekend has been specifically designed to take you on a safe, supportive journey to discover your path and meet the REAL YOU. While shorter in duration than Path of Love, it is a powerful opportunity for self-discovery, and to connect deeply to your body, feelings, and aliveness.
Most of us long for intimacy, happiness, the confidence to live authentically, and to find freedom from our fears and self-limiting beliefs. But for all sorts of reasons, we feel disconnected from who we are and live smaller lives than we want. We long for something more, but struggle to create change and break free from old, frustrating patterns.
During this weekend you can process past and current issues in a caring environment and discover your love for life…yet again! We work with a unique blend of psychology and spirituality, involving; group exercises, meditations which have been specially designed, the power of authentic sharing, embodiment practices including breathwork, and individual guidance and support from highly trained and qualified facilitators. You will get closer to knowing your authentic self – igniting your passion to realize your true potential and to live with an honest, open heart.
“The real question is not whether life exists after death, the real question is whether you are alive before death.” – OSHO
