“My two-day intensive facilitator training is designed for people who already know something about labyrinths. I take a rather left-brained stuff-them-full-of-information approach. My training includes such topics as sacred geometry, ritual and ceremony, use in schools and hospitals, and much more. It also offers hands-on experience in learning how to construct labyrinths. Each training is customized for the audience.”
