This workshop examines the main difference between a labyrinth and a maze, as well as the structure and origin of a number of labyrinth patterns. Synonymous with walking our life path, we focus on creating a seven gate (Gaia) labyrinth, and by progressing along the path of the labyrinth we work through the major chakras enabling us to deal with many unresolved issues and bring balance back into our lives. This can be a very emotional, and uplifting experience.


This workshop begins with a review of the different types of magic, focusing on nature philosophies. We then examine how magic works and how we can live a magical life in today’s world. Included in the workshop are grounding and centring exercises. The workshop concludes with an exercise in which we create a personal “Window of Life” following traditional native and Celtic traditions.


This workshop begins with a discussion into the forms of meditation. It examines how to differentiate meditation from contemplation and daydreaming. We will discuss and experience the impact of some gentle, yet powerful, breath-work on the level and quality of meditation. Finally we will both discuss and experience meditation as it applies to the process of self-healing and its use in past life regression.
