Robin was the special guest at the Australian Labyrinth Network Conference in Canberra in March. Being a recently formed network, the ALN was holding their 3rd annual conference and decided to have an Australian special guest this time rather than invite someone from overseas. The second step in the process of creating Ceremonies It was a fabulous conference and Robin’s workshop on ‘Facilitating Ceremony, Ritual and Transformation with the Labyrinth’ was very well received. It took people through nine steps of creating Ceremony and encouraged people to bring more ceremony into their Labyrinth facilitated walks. She also used The Sacred Union Labyrinth as an example of the progression through the steps and how following them builds a solid and powerful plan to hold more free flowing and spontaneous facilitation with a group. Robin, together with Mark Healy, created a Ceremonial Labyrinth, the circular version of the Sacred Union Labyrinth, and …
