Rev. Lauren Artress

Labyrinth Walking: An Ancient Tool for a Whole New Mind

Rev. Lauren Artress, DMin

May 1 – 3, 2009 the Omega Institute

Course 0702-737/Tuition $295 800.944.1001 www.eomega.org

We live much of our lives in a left-brain oriented world that values knowledge as power. But there’s another way to experience the world—from the reflective, emotionally embodied, intuitive, synchronistic, nonlinear, and integrative right brain.

This weekend, as we learn the ancient practice of walking the labyrinth with Rev. Lauren Artress, we shift consciousness from our left brain to our right brain, and bring to the surface the deeply intuitive part of ourself that offers wisdom rather than simply knowledge.

Through labyrinth walks, group discussions, individual reflection, and journaling, we deepen into the ancient practice of the labyrinth and bring balance between our left and right brain. As we create a whole new mind, we ask and answer the questions, “What do I seek? What in my life is calling me?”

We also gain a greater awareness of how to quiet our mind, a deeper understanding of what might be blocking our potential, and insight to make the changes necessary to live our life more fully.

Recommended reading: Artress, Walking a Sacred Path and The Sacred Path Companion; and Pink, A Whole New Mind.

Rev. Lauren Artress, DMin, an Episcopal priest, is credited with reintroducing the ancient practice of labyrinth walking back into Western culture and the Christian tradition. She is founder of Veriditas and is author of Walking a Sacred Path, The Sand Labyrinth Kit, and The Sacred Path Companion. www.veriditas.org
