I’m writing to urge you to consider joining me and a fascinating group of other people at the upcoming Veriditas dream and spirit workshop in Chartres, France, May 25-30, 2009. Veriditas is doing two programs and my portion is “Dreaming on the Sacred Path – Walking the Interior Labyrinth.”
Veriditas is an organization created by Lauren Artress to promote the “greening” of people’s individual and communal spiritual lives and perspectives, particularly through reclaiming the ancient, archetypal experience of “pilgrimage.”
To facilitate and deepen this journey, Lauren has asked me to join her staff and offer dream groups for the Veriditas participants while we are in Chartres, learning more about the human spirit and our own unique interior lives.
Lauren has been cultivating a collegial relationship with the Cathedral authorities for decades, and as a result, we will be afforded special access to the sanctuary, to the famous Chartres labyrinth, as well as to the “Black Madonna” in the crypt, even after the building is closed to the general public. I have had the opportunity of participating in Lauren’s guided tours of the cathedral and its wonders, and I can assure you, it is an opportunity not to be missed.
The Chartres Black Madonna links us still to the intuitions and energies of the feminine aspects of the Divine. Encountering her deep underground, by candlelight in this truly ancient setting is an archetypal experience all in itself.
Walking the Chartres labyrinth is a way to experience directly and physically the energies of healing, centering, and evolving spiritual awareness that are carried and awakened by the archetype of the “mandala.”
It would be wonderful if you would join us!
As always,
Jeremy Taylor
