This reflective day brings time and space to move deeper into your work on the labyrinth.
How is your work on the labyrinth going? What do you know that you need help with? Would you like new inspiration to deepen your experience alone or with others on the labyrinth?
Come together with other labyrinth facilitators to share your experiences, to find what each others needs for support, and to share ideas and solutions.
It is...
A time for enhancing your experience on the path and bringing your heart, hopes, and visions. There will be several opportunities to linger and walk the labyrinth.
A space for renewal and refreshment, for planning what a project might be, for taking a break in the activity of creating.
An experiencing day...
Kay will offer simple instruction for native flute work and bells for those who would like to play and learn more of these expressive instruments. Participants can create small clay labyrinths, rubbed hand canvas labyrinths for personal use, or journal enhancement with color pencils.
While this class will not include an introduction to the labyrinth, we welcome those who are new to the labyrinth and would like to experience it first hand.
The Reverend Dr. Kay Mutert
Veriditas Master Teacher, Facilitator Trainer
The Reverend Dr. Kay Mutert is a Master Teacher with the Veriditas Worldwide Labyrinth Organization, offering labyrinth workshops in awakening new creative energy, community building, and spiritual formation. Her Master Teacher responsibilities include training new facilitators and renewal training for those trained in past years.
She works with organizations to establish labyrinth communities, to hear the hopes of a setting and translate that into an ongoing vision. In her workshops and training she holds the space for participants to discover and develop their own gifts and skills, and to build community. Kay has been a member of the Veriditas Council, Southeastern USA regional representative, and event musician.
When she left her local church ministry Kay created "DaySpring - a source of creative expression and renewal of spirit", as a conduit to work with an increasingly larger circle of community. Through her labyrinth work, she uses her experience as musician, minister, teacher and spiritual accompanist with groups and individuals from diverse arenas of life, inviting them to discover the possibilities of the labyrinth to experience a reconnection with the sacredness of life, to find language for their setting. Kay's work helps others find ways for renewal of mind, body, spirit and creative energy, through retreats, workshops and sacred events.
As a pastor, Kay served congregations in the United Methodist Church and the British Methodist Church, a local ecumenical partnership in England, and an interim ministry with the Presbyterian Church USA. Before that she worked as a music educator/church musician in Florida and Alabama. She is a conductor, composer and pianist, incorporating her music into her events. Her work has included compositions and concerts for those affected by cancer and AIDS, connected with her own journey.
She is a guest presenter and retreat leader on the Celtic saints and story, has led pilgrimages to Iona and other sites, and .offers workshops and worship experiences utilizing the resources of Iona, Taize and global music.
Kay believes the ancient archetype of the labyrinth serves as a strong source of possibility for today's world, in meditation, reconciliation, peace-making, for young and old, for cross-cultures, creativity and healing, for community and personal use.
Through her experience in a variety of settings, she honors the non-verbal expression of meaning as felt in the labyrinth, through sound and silence, movement and stillness.
