Concordia Labyrinth Workshops

Come and learn how this ancient, multicultural practice can enhance your learning, concentration, and insight. The workshops will include talks by Dr. Sara Terreault from Concordia’s Theological Studies, Religions & Cultures and Irish Studies departments about the history of labyrinths and the practice of walking, and by Susan Upham, a fabric artist and labyrinth guide, who will teach how to make handmade finger labyrinths for home practice.

Walking a labyrinth, especially those with historic sacred designs, can be a transformative experience for people, even the first time they do it. Recent scholarship on the impacts that labyrinths have for learning demonstrates the contribution the practice can make to support transformative learning.
