Many people have had a mystical experience. They often happen in the labyrinth. These encounters are raw experiences of the Holy, but typically people don't talk about them. They can leave us profoundly grateful, or deeply shaken. Being guided by Hildegard von Bingen and Teresa of Avila, we are able to reflect, learn and integrate these soul opening experiences.
Friday, we will meet for an opening session on the mystical experience, followed by a private labyrinth walk with music in Grace Cathedral. (Dinner on your own or gather a group.) After a day of exploration together, Saturday will include a private "Harmony Walk" on the labyrinth followed by a celebratory dinner together.
This workshop is presented by the Reverend Dr. Lauren Artress: Lauren is a priest of the Episcopal Church, and her home parish is Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, California. From 1986 to 1992, she served as Canon Pastor and then as Canon for Special Ministries until August 2004. In May of 2006, her rediscovery of the labyrinth was honored by Grace Cathedral and she was designated Honorary Canon, a lifetime title.
In 1991, while on a brief sabbatical, Lauren walked an informal taped labyrinth through the work of Jean Houston. The idea gestated for a few months and then she was compelled to go to Chartres Cathedral, where she moved the chairs and walked the medieval labyrinth. This courageous act has led to the rediscovery of the labyrinth. Lauren not only introduced the walking meditation back into the Christian tradition but also introduced the labyrinth back into Western culture. By December 1991, she had replicated the Medieval Eleven Circuit Labyrinth at Grace Cathedral beginning in canvas form. Due to the enormous response of people desiring to learn a walking meditation, the tapestry labyrinth was installed inside the Cathedral in 1994. The outdoor terrazzo labyrinth was installed in the Interfaith Meditation Garden in 1995.
