There were several talks from experts and I learnt some new information about labyrinths and how they are being used in settings like schools and universities. I think my two favourite parts of the day were the chance to walk two labyrinths, both this gorgeous turf labyrinth in the village, and a portable canvas labyrinth inside the village hall, as well as a very grounding meditation on a finger labyrinth at the start of the day, and the great spacing of the day which enabled lots of time for doing what you enjoyed and meeting new people and making connections. Often when you attend events it can seem that they are packed full - something I find hard as I struggle with my attention and sitting still these days for any length of time - and because it leaves me feeling slightly too full - like my soul ate too much up and I don't have room to digest it all. Saturday was perfect - just enough information, with lots of time to connect. I'm excited to find out that there are some possibilities to attend other labyrinth events in the UK later this year.
You can find some of these events at UK facilitators here by Jan Sellers and Kaye Barrett.
Labyrinths in Britain who organised this event have a facebook page here.
Also check out the resources at Labyrinthos, Veriditas an organisation based in the UK who offer events and facilitator training, and The Labyrinth Society who have a worldwide labyrinth locator on their site.
