Registration closes one hour prior to class beginning.The darkest days of the year are often a challenge for many of us. Even for those of us who love the cozy time of colder temperatures and sun setting earlier, with tea and books and various hobbies, the holiday season itself can ensnare us in feelings of isolation, depression, sadness, and grief, especially if there are associations with this time of year in terms of past traumas or missing those who are no longer with us to share these times. I would like to try to help people in dealing with these difficult emotions by considering the healing magic of traveling through labyrinths.
In this class, you will discover how the labyrinth serves as a symbol of the journey inward, leading us to the center of our being where we confront our shadows and emerge wiser and more self-aware. We will examine both the Cretan and Greek depictions of Ariadne and consider ways we can connect with her energy and call upon her as a guide when we are deep in shadow work. We will consider visualizations and simple prompts to help you identify a place in your life where you will benefit from “walking” a labyrinth to its center and back. I will also offer ritual suggestions, as well as practical exercises for incorporating labyrinths into your daily life for spiritual growthand healing. Class is taught from a trauma-informed perspective.
