27. Sadelle Wiltshire: Labyrinths as a Way of Connecting to the Divine, Self, and Others

I know many of you will love this week's episode of the Bear the Light podcast because I'm interviewing certified labyrinth facilitator Sadelle Wiltshire, and we spend the whole episode talking about labyrinths!

Labyrinths have come up several times on previous episodes, which tells me this show seems to attract people who appreciate a good contemplative walk. I was excited to have Sadelle on the show to talk in a more in-depth way about this practice so many of you appreciate.

In this episode, we talk about:

* The history of this ancient archetypal image and tool

* How a labyrinth walk can be a great form of meditation, especially for those who have a harder time sitting in silence and stillness

* Common misconceptions about labyrinths, particularly related to the pace at which you're supposed to walk them and whether you're supposed to walk them alone

* How labyrinths can be used as powerful peacemaking tools and a way of bringing people together

* The connection between walking a labyrinth and going on pilgrimage

* Some of the differences you can expect from walking a labyrinth versus using a finger labyrinth

Sadelle mentions several resources on this episode, and the links for those can be found here:

* The Jail Labyrinth Project

* Videos about the 3Rs and 4Rs of walking a labyrinth

* A 7-day mini-course via email about walking labyrinths
