INDIANA LABYRINTH SUMMER SCHOOL: For the Love of Classical Labyrinths with Lars Howlett & Labyrinth Design Studio Visit

Deepen your connection and appreciation for the Classical Labyrinth—the great grandmother of all labyrinths!

The Classical pattern is the oldest and simplest form of a labyrinth, treasured by a wide variety of cultures and traditions over the past four to six-thousand years. A survey of its design gets us in touch with the archetypal roots of all labyrinths and a better understanding of the basic ingredients that evoke ‘the labyrinth experience’. Led by Veriditas Faculty member Lars Howlett, we will delight in the history, evolution, and application of the Classical Labyrinth. Learn the ins and outs of its sacred geometry and symbolism including how it reflects the basic patterns of life, a journey through the chakras, and the four directions. We’ll contemplate the many Classical variations such as the Chakra-vyuha, Baltic Wheel, and Man in the Maze with photographs of stunning examples from around the world.

Our program includes a studio visit with local artist and labyrinth designer Ben Nicholson. That evening we will walk the Harmonist labyrinth made of hedges. A comprehensive digital workbook will be provided as a PDF.
