Labyrinth Workshop: Living My Life, Living My Dying
Cost: $80
Life and Death are intrinsically linked. We cannot have one without the other. Each of us knows at some level that our lives will end in death at some unknown time.
This time at the labyrinth can assist the process of acknowledging the reality of our inevitable dying, to befriend and even embrace it. In doing so it will enable each of us to live our lives even more richly.
During this workshop we will offer reflections, meditations and silence with time to walk the labyrinth. All of this will assist you in exploring your thoughts, feelings and senses around this dynamic and often concerning topic.
This day is equally valuable for first time labyrinth walkers or experienced walkers.
The workshop will be facilitated by the Rachum team: Shona Chisholm, Alison Meretini, Jennifer Hume, Helen Lawrence, Megan Evans, Janet Turner and thea Gaia. All are experienced group facilitators and passionate about the labyrinth. They all have had experience working with death and the dying and will be available for conversations with you.
The labyrinths lie outside so come prepared for any weather.
Rachum (meaning womb of compassion and mercy in Hebrew) is 25 acres of beautiful tree-covered land, surrounded on 3 sides by the Yass River, forty-five minutes out of Canberra between Murrumbateman and Gundaroo. There are two Labyrinths at Rachum – a Chartres one built with pavers and bricks and a bush classical labyrinth made from eucalypt branches. People walk a labyrinth as a meditation, a metaphor for the journey of life, as a prayer for peace or as a process for connecting deeply with the inner self.
RSVP or enquiries: email Alison Meretini or phone 02 6257 5675.
Directions to Rachum will be provided following RSVP.
