Sacred Labyrinth Sacred Life:
Seek, Find and Follow Your True Path
Retreat Date: July 9-11, 2010
All the Earth is sacred, but there are some locations on our planet that act as unique and powerful energy centres which magnify healing and revelation. Labyrinths are such places. They take us back thousands of years, marking a course of legends past, initiations and ceremony, mysteries and magicians. The infamous 12th century knights known as the Templars were well versed in sacred geometry and uncovered the hidden secrets within the labyrinth. Since then, the labyrinths magical effects on people have now seen its popularity grow with labyrinth societies popping up world-wide. Labyrinths are now being built by hospitals, churches and big city centres becaues of the soothing effect they have on individuals.
This retreat is specifically designed for the individual who is ready to travel deep into the centre of their Self, ready to find their true path. This weekend will be rich in the ancient knowledge and the stage will be set within the beauty of Grail Springs. We will slow everything down, get quiet, get real, and together experience the sacred walk on our outdoor labyrinth. This retreat will be rich, deep and full of surprises. Expect the magic!
