Labyrinth Sessions
These guided sessions offer a unique, reflective space for students, regardless of faith or background, to engage with personal challenges, enhance their reflective practice, and develop problem-solving skills. The labyrinth, an ancient tool for walking meditation, offers a powerful, non-verbal method for exploring issues. Participants can move beyond conventional thought patterns to find clarity and new perspectives.
Led by Chaplain Annie McCormick and a Health & Wellbeing Practitioner, each one-hour session has a three-part structure: setting an intention, walking the labyrinth, and a post-walk reflection.
