If you have an idea of a labyrinth-related project that you would like to get some support for, please get in touch admin [at] aln.org.au . We already have projects like the Labyrinths in Schools project that is running World Labyrinth Day in Schools ... like most networks, ALN is a diffuse and yet resilient connection of passionate people doing what they love... and the 'doing' sometimes takes precedence over the 'telling'. 

Our latest project is an offering of a smorgasbord of discussion groups, presentations and experiences called the Labyrinth Lovers Newsreel. It is for members only, so if you're not a member already, please consider joining us!

    Walking the Sacred Path of Giftedness

    A Contemplative Day & Veriditas Qualifying Workshop

    Friday 9 June 2023
    9am – 4pm

    Santa Teresa Spirituality Centre
    267 Wellington St
    Ormiston, Qld 4160­­­

    If you are new to labyrinths, or if you have had experience with walking labyrinths, this quiet day offers opportunities to walk the labyrinth as contemplation – focussing on our inherent gifts – the gifts that we have received, and the gifts that we share with the world.

    During our time together, we will explore our own individual giftedness, how we might share our giftedness with others and with the world, and how the labyrinth can be a spiritual tool for discernment.

    Participants may use their attendance on this day as a Qualifying Workshop towards Veriditas Labyrinth Facilitator Training. Contact Sue for more information sue@suethomas.net.au and download the flyer here.

    If needed, here is the ALN Cancellation & Refund Policy.

    Presenter: Sue Thomas, Spiritual Director, Veriditas Advanced Facilitator and Trainer.

    “The labyrinth belongs to no one and everyone” has been a grounding mantra in my work, as I walk labyrinths, draw labyrinths on beaches, work with peers in creating large portable calico labyrinths, and use the hand labyrinth for journaling and reflection in many facets of my life and life’s work.

    I live on the land of the Yugambeh language peoples, the traditional custodians of the Gold Coast region in South-East Queensland. My long association with using the labyrinth as a tool for contemplative, meditative and spiritual practices began many years ago when the labyrinth ‘found’ me in Year 11 at high school through an “Art and Architecture in History” subject. Using the labyrinth as a tool for contemplation and reflection in my previous role as Lay Pastoral Minister for Brisbane Catholic Archdiocese, my current work as Spiritual Director and retreat facilitator, and my personal spiritual practice has been grounded and enriched by connecting with Veriditas. I am a certified Veriditas Advanced Facilitator and Trainer, a member of Veriditas Faculty, and a member of the Australian Labyrinth Network.

    Veriditas

    2 Day Labyrinth Facilitator Training

    (Australia)

    Saturday 10 & Sunday 11 June

    9:00 am - 4:00 pm

    Santa Teresa Spirituality Centre

    267 Wellington St

    Ormiston, Qld 4160­­­

    Registrations close on 1 June 2023.

     

    The goal of Veriditas Labyrinth Facilitator Training is to prepare people to introduce others to the labyrinth in an articulate, professional and effective way. The training addresses meditative walking in a variety of settings, with a variety of different populations. It is focused primarily on the Eleven Circuit Medieval Labyrinth but is inclusive of all forms.

    Walking the labyrinth is being embraced as a spiritual practice throughout the Western world mostly because of Veriditas trained facilitators. The Veriditas Facilitator Training -- which began in 1997 -- remains the most rigorous and comprehensive training offered.

    HOW TO KNOW IF FACILITATOR TRAINING IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

    Want to deepen your own labyrinth practice?

    Want the tools and guidance that will enable you to bring the labyrinth to your community?

    Want to connect with a supportive community of Labyrinth Facilitators around the world?

    Find yourself heading up a labyrinth program at your church, school, hospital, college etc. and need broad training and/or specific answers?

    Considering offering labyrinth walking as part of your healing, counseling, yoga or coaching business and are curious about the business considerations involved?

    Love the labyrinth and want to offer workshops of your own? Consider completing Facilitator Training on the path to becoming Certified, Advance Trained and Accredited. Our Veriditas Accredited Presenters are now offering some of our qualifying workshops.
