Saturday Morning Sound Bath at the Labyrinth

Everyone welcome - drop in for a bit and listen to the crystal singing bowls as you walk the labyrinth, or bring your yoga mat and stay for the whole sound bath! Registration is not required.

Labyrinth walking is an ancient meditation practice used by many different cultures for spiritual centering, contemplation, and prayer. For many, it is a way of centering themselves or of seeking insight during times of transition in their lives. The labyrinth is not a maze. There are no tricks to it and no dead ends. Walk at your own pace, releasing that which no longer serves you as you walk toward the centre and receiving whatever it is you need as you follow the same path out. Our labyrinth is a full 13-metre replica of the medieval labyrinth laid in the stone floor of the 13th-century Cathédrale de Notre-Dame de Chartres in France.

Sound healing is another ancient practice for meditation and self-care that harnesses the power of sound vibrations to promote healing and restoration. Research shows us that sound healing can slow down our brain waves and put our bodies in a very relaxed, dreamlike state. The vibrations of sound baths are thought to help you connect with your subconscious mind, allowing inner exploration and self-discovery. Our resident musician, Laura, is a certified sound healing practitioner and guided meditation teacher who plays crystal singing bowls and can be found on Instagram @ laura_at_the_labyrinth.

Please note that shoes must be removed while in the labyrinth space. Cash donations for labyrinth upkeep are appreciated, but not required. Chairs are provided for those who would prefer to listen without walking, and there is space available for yoga mats. You are welcome to bring bottled water but no other food and beverages are permitted in the space.
