Guest Post by Penny Calcina…
Celebrated in weekend immersions that are scheduled in concert with the Equinoxes and Solstices, Walking the Inner Labyrinth is an exploration of the deeply organic nature of Self, through the ridges and fall lines of the mountains, rushing rivers and gentle gurgling streams, crashing waves of the seas, shifting sands of time in partnership with the internal patterns, mandalas and flows of the Inner Labyrinth of Self.
Together, we take the first steps within, along the paths of our own labyrinths and over the weekend, we move, one breath at a time, into the center of our exploration – the Now moment where Divine Union of Self pulses, breathes, lives. We witness to the Divine Union of the Sacred Marriage of Self, celebrate, breathe, renew.
And together, we take the first steps to begin to bring that frequency of Union back along the paths of our labyrinth – brushing, painting, breathing the vibration across the mandalas of our being.
The next immersion weekend is WALKING THE INNER LABYINTH – AWAKENING: Being held in Jocassee Gorges, South Carolina - MAY 05th to 08th, 2011.

This first photo is the opening mandala of Walking the Inner Labyrinth – The Great Sea weekend, held in a large house beachfront on the coast of South Carolina. The womb of creation, the heart of the Great Sea, is the shell in the center.
Within it is one set of stones, hand chosen, washed in the Sea, bathed in the moonlight and starlight and packed intuitively into individual sets for chakra meditations and healing work. The cloth bags on the table are the other sets of these, for each participant.
This is the manadala of their medicine bundles that they will create from these offerings and others as the weekend progresses. Other items are small whelks – personal wombs of creation, barnacled shells – community shells representing the vast overlay of communities that we exist within, small craystal clusters I hand dug – earth communities, pink Himalayan salt chunks – purification, bags of my personal sage/herb blend – smudging, bags of chakra stones – meditation, guidance and healing, tiny bottles of bubbles for joy, play, radiance. This is the beginning of their bundle. Each one chose colored fabric and ties, added their personal words and symbols of creation and magic, and we began.
The second photo is the final mandala of the weekend. The first mandala created from the participants was laid out with their feet in the middle with their medicine bundles. This one then, was reversed with their heads in the center. A guided
meditation was offered, sacred songs were sung, and a special healing to bring the energies forth into completion for that Now moment. The fans in the center of the circle were created by me to use for healing and transformation. They are incredible partners of healing.

Thank you so much Janice! Due to the flux and flow of the Universe, that immersion weekend has been rescheduled for May 5 – 8th. 2 spots open. Hugs and much love for a radiant day!
