Connection

Labyrinths offer a chance for someone to connect to self as they journey inwards to the center of the circle. When walking the labyrinth there is a clear path, everyone can be assured to reach the centre (which is literal and figurative).

The labyrinth experience with Vanessa was exactly what I needed that day....during the meditative walk I was able to slow down my breathing, reconnect with myself and gain a sense of inner peace. Relaxing music in the background helped me tune into the present moment. I felt moved, touched and inspired.

I felt calm and peaceful.

- Odin (10 years old)

Walking through the labyrinth helped me to see the "big picture", get rid of fear and understand my priorities. The whole ritual with candles, music, sharing circle was designed to help me to review my problems, let them go and to understand what really matters. Thanks to Vanessa's support and guidance I could reinvent myself

I really enjoyed learning about the symbology and traditions associated with labyrinths. Now I can walk the labyrinth near my place with more intention. It's about connecting with myself. The labyrinth is a great addition to my daily mindfulness practices.
