Labyrinth Workshop with Veriditas Faculty Kathe Rhinesmith & Anne Bonney

The Labyrinth as an Interspiritual Path: 

One River Many Streams

We are living in an unfolding spiritual landscape.  East and West are converging, our world is shrinking. Some of us are no longer at home in the spiritual/religious traditions in which we grew up.  We find that our spiritual streams have run dry.  We yearn for more, but what might that 'more' be?  In this workshop, we will do some thoughtful and respectful meandering along the labyrinth's interspiritual path together, drinking in some of the contemplative practices, stories and rituals from other spiritual traditions around the globe.  We will have conversations on our way to the center where all streams merge into One River, the Living Source of all our relations.  Finally, we will return, walking the same path, nourished by our journey.  Wherever you are on your path, even if you find yourself sitting on the River's bank, unsure and observing, you are welcome. 

A one day workshop led by Veriditas Faculty Kathe Rhinesmith and Anne Bonney.
