iSpiritual
Spiritual Personal Labyrinths started in 1998 when our commercial engraving company was asked to create a brass sign that included a labyrinth design for a labyrinth installation at a holistic health center. Based on the beauty and success of the engraved sign, we were asked to create a personal finger labyrinth for the clients at the health center. Our product line has evolved as people from a variety of settings, i.e. teachers, occupational therapists, hospice workers, corporate wellness directors, spa directors, have asked for specific types of labyrinths.
Labyrinths are being installed in schools, hospitals, businesses, universities, churches, community centers, parks and private homes. Because of their benefits, their popularity is growing dramatically.
We believe in labyrinths as a spiritual tool. We see time and again the value of using labyrinths for healing. In our fast paced world, they bring you back to calmness.
Children naturally know how to use a labyrinth. We can learn from them that approaching a labyrinth is simple. Let it be. Don't have expectations.
Our hand crafted labyrinths include Finger Labyrinths in colorful lucite and Personal Labyrinths in wood. Our labyrinths are replicas of the Chartes Labyrinth, the Santa Rosa Labyrinth, and Classical labyrinth designs. Choose your favorite from our gallery of Labyrinths.

At the heart of everything Wisdom University offers is a commitment to personal and professional renewal. This is why students come, this is what our pedagogy and curriculum are designed to catalyze and nurture. The average student attending Wisdom University is a professional, with an established career, and with one or more academic degrees already in place. Our students are also individuals who have come to the conclusion that they need deeper spiritual challenges in order to maintain momentum and meaning in their lives. They are often seeking professional as well as personal transformation. Wisdom University has been designed for such a person. It has the most highly differentiated pedagogy of any institution of higher learning we know of -- an approach that often catalyzes renewal because it addresses and nurtures the whole person.
The way of the circle is the way of the soul. My psychotherapy practice, dream quests, pilgrimages and music each reflect ways of coming home to what is awake and alligned in each of us. In the circle we have the opportunity to see each other clearly and simply. Living in the circle we communicate from the heart. Held by the circle, we reach high into the transcendent realms of sky spirit and deep into the rich immanent realms of earth spirit . Connected, we remember our purpose and gifts.
My workshops, Dream Quests and Pilgrimages utilize meditation, prayer, music and the Chartres Cathedral Labyrinth to create an environment in which individual growth can take place.
