"The tragic losses I'd experienced early in life inspired me to look for the deeper meaning and purpose in the context of my spiritual journey. Life mapping allowed me to spend a very powerful hour making connections that I had never made before. I emerged from the workshop feeling lighter, stronger and inspired to embrace the next step." - 4/30/11 Life Mapping Workshop Participant, Mercer Island, WA
This transformational workshop will increase awareness of the gifts of the past, present and future, and prompt discoveries of the patterns, gifts and purpose of individual life stories. Participants will create a timeline of their lives and map it for walking on an 11-Circuit Chartres labyrinth. Handouts, tools and quotes for sharing the life mapping activity will be shared, so that participants can replicate the activity in their own communities.
"Everybody has a calling. And your real job in life is to figure out what that is and get about the business of doing it." - Oprah
Resources for the workshop were developed using insights from the writings of Eve Hogan (author of Way of the Winding Path, A Map for the Labyrinth of Life), Lauren Artress (author of Walking a Sacred Path and The Sacred Path Companion, A Guide to Walking the Labyrinth to Heal and Transform ) and Daniel Pink (author of A Whole New Mind).
