60 Minute Workshop
Explore how the labyrinth is one of multiple universal tools including Native American Medicine Wheels, the Tree of Life, Hindu and Buddhist Mandalas and the Chinese and Celtic Zodiacs.

Abstract
The primary focus of my presentation is to explore how the labyrinth is one of multiple universal tools including but not limited to Native American Medicine Wheels, the Tree of Life, Hindu and Buddhist Mandalas, and the Chinese and Celtic Zodiacs with which our forbears sought to understand and interact with the divine in order to branch out, bringing about change for themselves and the community. The presentation will include viewing a short DVD and PowerPoint as well as listening to the presentation and participating in short meditation techniques. The presentation will start with a short meditation followed by a 4-minute video; PowerPoint exploration of shared themes; specific characteristics of meditation tools and their uses; and another DVD of current uses at schools and public and private locations as tools for the community. The presentation will end with a short meditation and time for Q&A.
