Unlocking Your Gifts: The Labyrinth as a Portal to your Soul's Calling. A WALKING A SACRED PATH PILGRIMAGE IN CHARTRES, FRANCE with Lauren Artress and Catherine Anderson

"To experience our path is to acknowledge the possibility that "something greater" is attempting to live itself out through our lives."  Lauren Artress

We are spiritual beings walking a human path.  We know our lives have a purpose, but we may not know what that purpose is, let alone how to find it. We will explore both the labyrinth and SoulCollage® as tools to unlock the mystery of our soul's calling.

The profound act of creating SoulCollage® cards and working with the labyrinth as a powerful blueprint can guide us into birth. 

Join us for a week-long gathering of creative self-discovery in Chartres, France. 

The Chartres Experience

What better place to feel nurtured than the sacred space of Chartres Cathedral. We begin with a reception to meet each other followed by an opening ritual and orientation to the program. Then each day, there is a morning seminar, a small processing group, and an experience of what Chartres has to offer.  SoulCollage will be a daily creative activity.

On Tuesday afternoon, there is a tour of the Cathedral, then on Wednesday, there is an orientation to the labyrinth and a once in a life-time candlelit labyrinth walk with medieval music on the Chartres Labyrinth,. Thursday afternoon, there is  a tour of the Cathedral’s Crypt and we end with a closing celebratory dinner on Friday.

Join us in this ancient place of refuge and renewal!

Safety Concerns?

As you probably know, the U.S. government is continuing its Worldwide Caution with respect to foreign travel in general. France is not specifically mentioned in the latest update. On a separate website, the U.S. embassy in France notes that the French government is continuing its reinforced security measures. The State Department provides a program for concerned travelers to receive security messages and make it easier to locate you in an emergency: see Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP).
