Objectives of course: Walking the labyrinth’s circular path can be used as a symbolic tool for releasing ineffectual habits and attitudes, receiving wisdom from within, and opening to growth. Tapping into the body’s wisdom provides an additional means towards deepening one’s commitment to personal change. Participants will learn a brief history of the Labyrinth as a twelfth century spiritual tool, the relationship between its sacred, symbolic structure and psychological healing, as well as its application for use today as a ritual tool to support change in one’s daily life. Psychodynamic therapeutic modalities such as somatic movement, art, journaling, and group processing will be modeled to demonstrate and support working with images from the unconscious to enhance and deepen the needs of the inner self. This workshop is offered at a beginning level and is appropriate for mental health professionals of all levels. Participants are encouraged to bring personal journal and to wear loose clothing for movement work and socks to wear on the labyrinth.

Participants will be able to identify the 11-circuit Chartres Cathedral Labyrinth image as a symbolic movement meditation tool for psychological and spiritual growth. Participants will be able to name three somatic and/or vocal techniques for facilitating access to images from the unconscious. Participants will be able to name the three primary structural phases inherent in the movement meditation process. Participants will be able to list at least three psychodynamic interventions for processing images from the unconscious.
This course meets the qualifications for 3.0 hours of continuing education credit for LMFTs, LCSWs, LPCC, and/or LEPs as required by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences. (A Place Within-Southern California, CAMFT Approved Provider #141393.)
