Labyrinth Walk Presentation
November 1 and 2, 2003

Ms. Royer did a presentation referred to as the Labyrinth Walk. In addition to learning about the structure and design of labyrinths and how to walk one, participants were invited to form an intention, walk a 7 circuit labyrinth holding their intention, and share their experiences with other students. The Labyrinth is an ancient unicursal, double-vortex design used for millennia around the globe for dance, ritual, celebration, and spiritual connection. Moving by walking, dancing, or running through its meandering path to the center and back creates a powerful energy field.
