Sand, Symbol, and Labyrinth
With Lisa Mer
April 17 - 18, 2027
This immersive weekend retreat weaves together the reflective practice of sandtray exploration with the embodied meditation of the labyrinth.
Sandtray is a contemplative spiritual practice that invites the soul to speak through symbols. Rooted in depth psychology, the images chosen often reveal the unseen landscapes of your inner life. What cannot yet be spoken may be shaped. With compassionate guidance and reflection, the sand becomes a sacred container, a doorway to insight and integration, holding grief, transformation, joy, questions, and renewal.
As we gather in the spirit of World Labyrinth Day, we will walk the labyrinth an ancient archetypal path found in cultures around the world. Unlike a maze, the labyrinth offers a single winding path inward and outward, mirroring a journey of releasing, receiving and returning. Walking the labyrinth becomes a moving meditation, a practice of listening with the body and heart.
This retreat is open to anyone longing for spaciousness and meaningful reflection. No prior experience with sandtray or labyrinth walking is required. Hand-held labyrinths are available for anyone with mobility constraints.
