Mapping Your Quest: Exploring the labyrinth as an interactive field of learning and self-discovery. A Virtual Qualifying Workshop with Laura Esculcas

What change are you seeking in your life right now? What do you long for? We come together in this workshop to explore our current longings, taking a closer look at what we are seeking at this moment in time, and uncover personal patterns that teach us to turn stumbling blocks into stepping stones. Come take a peek at some of the wisdom embedded in the labyrinth experience while exploring ways of interacting with the labyrinth to guide you in your personal quest. You will emerge from the experience with 1) an expanded understanding of how to use the labyrinth to enhance spiritual growth and self-discovery, 2) how to engage three keys to self-discovery - the head, the heart and the body, and 3) your own personal labyrinth quest map to continue your explorations beyond the boundaries of this workshop.

The labyrinth is a field of memory, information and potential, offering spiritual seekers, wisdom teachers, and all human beings a personalized path of learning and self-discovery. Join us in this journey of learning and self-discovery with the labyrinth!
