The labyrinth is rich in symbolism and meaning. It is an archetypal pattern that has been used for celebration, rituals and self discovery for thousands of years in many different cultures. Retreat leader, Karen Balmer, has been in touch with people signed up for the labyrinth retreat at Parcevall to say, “Come with an open heart to learn more about the labyrinth, and to experience it for yourself, perhaps learn more about yourself. This will be a creative, experiential time together. Please bring an item you would like to put on the labyrinth which could be a photo, stone or meaningful object (you can take it home at the end of the weekend, or leave it behind). I am looking forward to meeting you and sharing the labyrinth with you.”
There are two places left on the Retreat, please contact the office if you would like to be part of this.
