Facilitated Labyrinth Walks & Reflective Journeys

The labyrinth is a wonderful sacred space for personal and planetary transformation. Through sacred walks, participants are guided and held in support along their walking journey. You'll hear about the history of labyrinths and their use around the world and then you'll be guided to walk the labyrinth with others. Each Labyrinth walk may have a central theme which will be posted beside the date. Occasionally some labyrinth walks will follow with a creative outlet of expression as many have found doing art after the walk helps to reveal more.
 

Walking the Labyrinth is a journey to your center. 


  • Release things you have been holding onto and embrace the present. 
  • Receive insights, messages, and inspiration.
  • Return with what you need to move forward and out into the world with.

 
The monthly event is free. Registration is requested in order to keep the group small as most labyrinth spaces can only accommodate so many at once. Also, in the event weather causes a reschedule of the walk or I need to reschedule for family situations you can be notified.

  

Register through the contact form or send a direct message through Instagram or Facebook. 

  

Many of the walks are held at local churches. A donation to the respective church towards the upkeep of the labyrinth would be appreciated.


Check the events page on Facebook for the latest special labyrinth walks scheduled.  


Consider purchasing the Labyrinth Paths: A Guided Workbook and Journal for Sacred Walking on Amazon to use during your walks. Amanda will also have some copies available for purchase on-site. Cash/Venmo $10

Grounded Forest Bathing Walks & Nature Immersion

On these walks, we will meet to walk a local trail in Eastern North Carolina together near the Crystal Coast. The trail may be through the woods, on the beach, an urban greenway, or across boardwalks through wetlands. Along the way Amanda will point out special features and guide you into connecting to your senses and expanding your awareness. You'll learn how to read messages from nature and how other cultures view and perceive different elements within the natural world. You'll learn tools and practices for connecting to the spirit of a place, to yourself, and ways to deepen your connection to the natural world.

  

Each month the walk will be at a different place. The pace will be slow. The experience is meant to be relaxing, allowing you to unwind and drop into stillness and a quiet place within...stepping out of the mental noise from the week/day. 


This is not a naturalist walk where you'll learn species of flora and fauna. This is also not a strenuous physical exercise you can check off for the day. This is a contemplative walk to connect inward and engage your senses.


On average expect 2-3 miles to be covered in two hours. Along our stroll, you'll receive prompts for contemplation, reflection, and guidance in how to awaken your senses and expand your observation skills.

  

Bring water, sunscreen, wear layers and appropriate shoes for the terrain.

 
Due to parking constraints at some locations and to not overcrowd the trails, registration is required as space is limited. Registration can be through the contact form, email, or direct message on Instagram or Facebook. This way, if the event needs to be cancelled due to low sign-ups or inclement weather, especially in Hurricane Season, you can be notified.


Consider purchasing the Nature Paths: A Guided Workbook and Journal for Sacred Walking on Amazon to use during your walks. 


Amanda will also have some copies of her book available for purchase on-site. Cash/Venmo $10
