The Runic Labyrinth

We now know that everything is frequency and vibration. The classic 7-circuit Labyrinth will be dowsed to align with the highest energies in that location to resonate at a higher vibration. Participants will dowse to help find these alignments and create the labyrinth. We will then experience the rune energies, place them in a 7-circuit labyrinth, and then experience their effect on the labyrinths energies as well as ourselves. Dowsing will be used throughout this workshop.
Sandi Isgro discovered Labyrinths and Dowsing at the same time 30 years ago and she was hooked! They have become a life long passion.
