Writing the Labyrinth

$30 W&B members / $35 general public
Instructor: Karen vanMeenen

A leading labyrinth researcher writes, “A walker leaving the labyrinth is not the same person who entered it, but has been born again into a new phase or level of existence.” Join us for a brief introduction to the labyrinth as an ancient tool for healing and creativity and a walk (or two) on a canvas six-circuit Cretan labyrinth. After the walk, participants will have the opportunity to respond to writing prompts about this experience and to share their reactions and writings with the group.
