Labyrinth Workshop with Lauren Artress

Yesterday I was delighted to attend a labyrinth workshop with the Rev. Dr. Lauren Artress on "Nourishing the Spirit". She is a leading force in the modern labyrinth movement. Rev. Artress is an Episcopal priest and Honorary Canon at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco.

As well as experiencing three different types of labyrinth (Chartres, Classical and Santa Rosa) I got the change to meet many labyrinth-minded people. There was much to nourish body, mind and spirit. Here are some quotes from the day ~

“Most of us have enough to live on but we may not have enough to live for.”

“We do not learn by experience but by our capacity to experience the experience. Maturity is the capacity to learn from experience.”

“Living our lives creatively is about choosing fresh options rather than our habitual ones.”

“I hope you are gifted with a few moments of confusion in the labyrinth.”

“A labyrinth is a process of releasing receiving and returning.”

“Sacred space attracts what you need.”

“Some of us allow the labyrinth to become and organizing principle of our lives.”

“A labyrinth can be a home-coming.”
