We
tailor presentations and workshops to your group or organization's
needs and desires. We offer dynamic presentations about the Labyrinth,
its history, uses, and applicability to your organization.
Presentations
are generally one to two hours in length. Workshops that include opportunities
to walk the Labyrinth can range from half-day sessions to retreats
of two or more days.
Our
lives are busy, complicated and hurried. We often do not make the
time and space for our own personal and professional renewal. We experience
stress and we risk burnout when we do not take this time to tend to
ourselves. This neglect may lead to physical and emotional distress.
We
design workshops that provide time and space for quiet reflection
and meditative labyrinth walks, with an emphasis on how to refocus
our thoughts and energy and reconnect with what is important in our
lives.
Workshops
include individual reflection, small group discussion, journaling,
and other creative practices.

Our
staff development workshops provide opportunities for individuals
and groups to re-vision goals, assess talents and abilities, make
decisions, and evaluate progress in their organizations. Using the
labyrinth as a tool for creative exploration, we provide half-day,
one-day, and two-day workshops that incorporate individual and group
activities with focused discussions that allow the group to process
and plan for professional and organizational development. The workshops
allow us to refocus our thoughts and energy to reconnect with our
innovative and creative selves.
Some
examples of staff development workshops include Building Community
with Co-Workers, Re-visioning the Mission of the Organization, Assessing
Progress and Planning for the Future, and Leadership Development.

These
workshops are designed for individuals facing acute, chronic, or life-changing
illness and/or for their families, friends, and caregivers. We respectfully
seek to create a safe place and space for people to "put down" some of the
emotional weight that often accompanies illness. The relational and spiritual
dimensions of living with or being affected by illness are also addressed.

The
experience of grieving the loss of a loved one through death, divorce,
or other transition is physically, emotionally, and spiritually challenging.
After a significant loss, many people feel isolated, uncertain, and
vulnerable. We conduct workshops that incorporate the Labyrinth and
allow the participants to explore the complex dimensions of bereavement
without judgment and begin the transformation that, in time, is possible
for those who have experienced loss and grief.

In these
workshops, members of neighborhoods, community groups, or other constituencies,
gather together to acknowledge differences and challenges and to build
bridges as they walk the same path.
