Summer Solstice Women’s Evening Retreat: A Healing Elements Labyrinth Experience

Come celebrate this mystically energetic time of year as we activate the healing elements of nature through meditation, music and the sacred practice of walking a labyrinth at sunset.

This powerful workshop was intentionally created to allow us to gather in person or to participate virtually, if you prefer or are out of the area.

An initial orientation will be held via Zoom during which time we will explore the healing elements of nature and how to activate them during our labyrinth walk. There will then be a short break for dinner and after which we will gather at a beautiful labyrinth outside of Lawrence, KS, for a sunset labyrinth experience. Those who are joining from other areas are encouraged to find a labyrinth in their area to walk for the final portion of the evening. (Resources for a meaningful labyrinth experience will be provided - whether you are attending in person or virtually.)

EARLY BIRD RATE - $45 (Through 5 p.m. CT - 6/14/21)
Regular Rate - $55

What exactly is a labyrinth walk?

The labyrinth we will be walking is on a beautiful piece of land on the Kansas prairie, carefully created by David Bartholomew and tended to David and his partner Joan Clark. They offer this wonderful description:

“Call it a prayer walk, meditation, think time or just a walk on sacred, stewarded land—you will feel burdens ease and fears quiet as you spiral in, then back out of the labyrinth. At its most basic level the labyrinth is a metaphor for the journey to the center of your deepest self and back out into the world with a broadened understanding of who you are… More than anything, it’s a metaphor for life: Put one foot in front of the other, accept that there will be twists and turns, and you’ll eventually get to where you’re going.”
