This is an opportunity to explore through various group and individual activities what each participant's unique purpose in life might be. Previous participants have said they appreciated the relaxed atmosphere and opportunity to get away and have a supportive space and activities conducive for contemplation. Plenty of free time is planned for hikes, homework, etc. Space is limited to 12-14 students.

Labyrinth Walk
Friday, March 21, 2008
9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Montag Den

A labyrinth is an ancient symbol (over 3,500 years old) representing wholeness. When this symbol is transferred to the ground and walked with purpose, it becomes a metaphor for the journey of life. It is a single path to our center, the inner self; a slowing down and listening, then returning to the outer world feeling renewed and rejuvenated. The benefits include stress reduction, relaxation and stillness along with the opportunity to open to our intuition and creativity.
