OUR STORY
ROOTED IN HAWAIʻI. INSPIRED BY HUMANITY.
Path of Love Global was founded in 2022 on the island of Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi, with a simple intention: to turn compassion into meaningful action.Surrounded by the natural abundance of the islands, we also witnessed a growing need for food security, essential resources, and stronger connections between those who have something to share and those who need support.The devastating Maui wildfires of 2023 further highlighted the importance of community resilience, cooperation, and people showing up for one another.What began as a local commitment to service has grown into a global vision.Through travel, cultural exchange, and community relationships, Path of Love Global seeks to connect people, businesses, and volunteers around practical opportunities to make a difference.We believe that abundance is not measured only by what we possess, but by what we are willing to share.
WHEN WE SHARE WHAT WE HAVE, WE CREATE MORE THAN ENOUGH TO GO AROUND.
WHAT WE DO
FOOD RESCUE. COMMUNITY NOURISHMENT. HUMAN CONNECTION.GOOD FOOD DESERVES TO BE SHARED.
Every day, farms, farmers markets, restaurants, grocery stores, and food businesses have surplus food that could help nourish people in their communities.At Path of Love Global, we believe this abundance represents an opportunity.Our food rescue and redistribution initiative brings together local growers, businesses, volunteers, and community organizations to help redirect suitable surplus food toward people experiencing food insecurity.Through community partnerships, we seek to support unhoused individuals, families, shelters, and grassroots organizations serving people in need.Our approach is simple:
RESCUE WHAT WE CAN. SHARE WHAT WE HAVE. NOURISH OUR COMMUNITIES.

A SIMPLE ACT. A MEANINGFUL IMPACT.
Food rescue is about more than reducing waste.It’s about recognizing that the resources to help one another often already exist within our communities.Sometimes, all that’s missing is the connection.

PRESENCE EXPERIENCES™
A room where nobody has to perform is waiting for you.
These are live gatherings built around sound, stillness, breath, movement, conversation, and shared attention.Small rooms. Real people. The kind of evening where something shifts and you are not entirely sure when it happened.
Music is usually present.Silence is always present.Laughter shows up more than people expect.Presence Experiences can take the shape of an opening or closing for a retreat, an intimate gathering for a community, or an evening designed around nothing more specific than people being genuinely together.The shape changes with the room and the people in it.
If something like this belongs in what you are creating, the door is open.
THE HUMAN BEHIND IT
Some people document life.I point people back into it.
I have been in rooms like this for most of my adult life. Retreat spaces in Hawaii and Bali. Sound rooms in Southeast Asia. Circles where people came expecting one thing and left carrying something else. More than two decades moving through music, sound, meditation, movement, and the kind of travel that changes your nervous system rather than your photo library.I did not set out to make a career of noticing. I just to kept noticing, kept staying longer than most people did, kept asking what made certain places feel the way they did. At some point the noticing became the work.
So now, I live. I observe. I point.
The life you’re looking for is not inside this website.It’s waiting outside of it.
I'm Christopher Michael.I point.
CONNECT
Don't follow me.Follow your curiosity.
If something here made you curious, a conversation is enough of a reason to write. You can tell me about a place I should experience, something you are building, an observation you want to share, or simply say aloha. All of it is welcome.
