We are honored to host Lisa Moriarty who designed the Labyrinths at Charlson Meadows.
Expect a leisurely day of exploration and creativity, using the labyrinths as a playground. The day will be filled with opportunities to learn about labyrinths, create and use a variety of labyrinths while being immersed with awe and inspiration. No experience necessary, come ready to explore!
Lisa Gidlow Moriarty is an internationally known artist, speaker, and labyrinth maker. She leads retreats, workshops, tours and pilgrimages, and has installed labyrinths from Africa to Australia and across the USA. Lisa delights in introducing others to the creativity and spirituality of labyrinths. Find her work at www.pathsofpeace.com
