Group spiritual discussions

Engage in enlightening group discussions that cover a wide array of life’s essential topics—from love and happiness to fear, suffering, and the art of living in the moment. These discussions are designed to open your heart and mind, fostering a community of understanding and shared growth.

Memo’s approach, as illuminated in his book, emphasizes the dynamic and ever-changing nature of life, urging participants to find their unique path to joy.

A sanctuary for healing

Set on 10 acres of private land, adjacent to the vast expanse of Santa Ysabel Preserve, the retreat offers an environment where nature itself becomes a conduit for healing.

Activities like hiking in the mountain air, yoga, walk a labyrinth and crystal bowl sound healing meditations, campfire under stars complement the intellectual and emotional journey, aligning body, mind, and spirit.

Comprehensive retreat schedule

The retreat is structured to provide a balanced mix of activities, personal reflection time, and communal gatherings, ensuring a transformative experience.

Transformative impact

Participating in the Find Your Secret Key retreat is not just about temporary relaxation; it’s about initiating a profound transformation within.

As Memo Ozdogan beautifully articulates, this journey is about becoming inwardly naked, shedding the layers of the past, and touching the essence of your being. It’s about encountering your innocence again and starting an immortal love story with the beloved within.

What to expect:

  • Deep release and renewal: Through the combined power of personal coaching and group discussions, you will embark on a process of deep internal release. Shed the weight of past burdens and find freedom in vulnerability and inward nakedness, leading to a renewed sense of peace and joy
  • Connecting with nature: Embrace the healing power of nature through activities that ground you in the present moment. Discover the simplicity and profound beauty of shinrin-yoku (forest bathing), as highlighted in “Letters from Love Cafe,” and allow the natural world to facilitate your healing journey
  • Empowerment and clarity: The retreat is designed not only to offer temporary solace but to empower you for lifelong clarity and peace

A journey towards true self-discovery

At the retreat, you will not only find retreat from the world but also a deeper retreat into yourself. Memo Ozdogan’s profound insights, drawn from a lifetime of study and exploration as shared in “Letters from Love Cafe,” serve as the foundation for a transformative experience.

It’s an invitation to unlock the doors to your innermost self, embrace the present with all its beauty, and step into a life marked by joy and inner peace. This retreat is tailored for those ready to leave behind destructive patterns and embrace a state of being healed, whole, and healthy.

If you’re seeking a meaningful change, a deeper connection with yourself, and a community of like-minded individuals, the retreat is your gateway to a new beginning. Under the vast, starlit sky, find connection—a connection not just with fellow seekers but with the universe itself.

As you gaze into the heavens through their telescope, you realize you’re not just looking at the stars; you’re looking at the reflections of your own essence, infinite and unbound. This is not just an invitation to a retreat, but to a reawakening. A call to those who hear the whispers of the wind and see the dance of the stars.

To those who seek not just to exist, but to live deeply, authentically, unapologetically, unafraid of transformative changes. Your path has led you here. The next step? That’s for you to decide.

Removing inner blocks and experiencing a deep release with the retreat

Without a feeling of being naked inwardly, one cannot possibly have this deep sense of inward freedom which is an absolute necessity for one’s happiness and well-being. In order to climb high in one’s spiritual journey towards the ultimate fulfillment of life with its ecstasy, one must not carry the heavy burden of any inward weight.

One cannot possibly reach the summit of Mount Everest with heavy luggage, and in the same way one cannot reach the inward summit of joy with heavy emotional luggage. The more one gets naked inwardly the more one feels the lightness of a joyful inner summit.

Removal of such inward blocks will also help you to achieve your desired purpose in life because of a release of energy within. Life in the external sense is a mere reflection of life inwardly, and as long as you have blocks within your subconscious, you are bound to be blocked from achieving your desired life.

Find Your Secret Key retreats include both group workshops and personal sessions guided by Memo and Jennifer. Memo has deep understanding and experience with the subconscious. The very opening and sharing of one’s hidden burdens in these carefully guided sessions will help to bring about a deep release and a quality of inward nakedness, with a sense of innocence, that will then pave the pathway to inner peace, and joy.

Spiritual coaching

Welcome to the retreat's transformative spiritual coaching sessions, where the focus will be guiding you toward a deeper understanding of yourself and empowering you to overcome life's challenges.

The unique approach will help you uncover and remove subconscious blocks that may be holding you back from reaching your full potential, leading to a more fulfilling and purposeful life. Through personalized and confidential one-on-one sessions, a safe and supportive environment will be created for you to openly share your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

It is understood that opening up can be difficult, but the more you reveal about yourself, the more insight will be gained into the hidden blocks that may be affecting your life. Rest assured that your privacy is of the utmost importance, and all information shared during the sessions will remain strictly confidential.

The spiritual coaching sessions will go beyond mere conversation, as various techniques and tools will be utilized to help you explore your inner world and reveal the subconscious barriers that may be preventing you from experiencing true happiness and growth.

As you delve into your unique spiritual journey, you will also be guided in developing a stronger connection with your higher self, enhancing your intuition and cultivating inner peace.

In addition to removing subconscious blocks, the spiritual coaching sessions will help you:

  • Discover your life purpose and align it with your authentic path
  • Enhance your emotional well-being and resilience
  • Develop a deeper understanding of your spiritual beliefs and practices
  • Improve your relationships and communication skills
  • Cultivate mindfulness and self-awareness for better decision-making
  • Find balance and harmony in all aspects of your life

Embark on this life-changing journey with Love is the Prize, and experience the transformative power of spiritual coaching tailored to your unique needs and goals.

Allow yourself to grow, heal, and thrive in a nurturing and compassionate space, where your spiritual well-being is their top priority. Join them and unlock the door to a more authentic, empowered, and fulfilling life.

Retreat location

Love is the Prize is located in a beautiful piece of land at 3,500 feet elevation between Santa Ysabel and the historic town of Julian, California. It is a 10.8-acre property located at the Headwaters of the San Diego River.

With many large stunning rock outcroppings and Metates carved into the rock, it has been the home to many Native Americans before.

The place has many varieties of native plants. Its location there is very unique because it is situated in a transition zone right in the middle of the low elevation coastal plants and the high elevation mountainous plants.

On the walking paths there, Love is the Prize has one California Native Plant clearly labeled. They are just starting this project so they may have six or seven plants labeled when you come. They want this to be a demonstration garden for Southern California Native Plants. Some of the native plants are edible.

This area also has beautiful, expansive views and rich California "gold rush" history. The place is surrounded by many Native American reservations and has beautiful hiking trails, and it's located an hour away from the city of San Diego and two hours from Los Angeles. Love is the Prize also features the largest labyrinth in California.
