Annemarie Rawlinson, labyrinth facilitator and builder, will share fascinating stories and facts about ancient and
contemporary labyrinths. She trained with Dr. Lauren Artress from Grace Cathedral in 1996 and has since then
lectured in the greater Los Angeles area and installed various labyrinths in public and private places, among them
a Cretan labyrinth at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center in Torrance, one at Van Nuys Middle School, and a garden
labyrinth at Christ the King Lutheran Church in Torrance. Annemarie also designed a new heart-shaped labyrinth
pattern that has been permanently installed on a beach in Palos Verdes.

So what actually happens when people walk the labyrinth?

"As we walk within the sacred geometry of the labyrinth we align ourselves energetically to the truth of its
form within our being. The action of this recognition can create windows to mystical remembrance, where form
and formlessness, time and eternity, matter and spirit meet. As we walk the form we invoke a recognition of its
energetic signature within our own body and being. This recognition unveils a template wherein every step along
the path becomes a symbolic representation for our life and the way we approach it." — Annemarie Rawlinson

This is an awareness we can have outside of the labyrinth as well, although the labyrinth is like
a vortex because of its geometry coupled with the intent and focus of those that set it up, those
that walk it now and the vibration of those who have walked it before.” — Prof. Ellen Davis of Duke Divinity
School

On Sunday, November 4, at 12:30 p.m. Annemarie will bring her portable labyrinth and will give instructions on
how to walk it to those who have never walked one before. Sign up in Forbes Hall at the Lifespan Table.
