Walking the Sacred Path of Being: A Contemplative Day with Veriditas Faculty, Sue Thomas

A graceful seduction

Come into the quiet

and be gracious with time

and with yourself.

Take off your thoughts, 

anxieties, expectations, 

and lay them aside.

Ease into the silence and 

surrender to the stillness.

Lose yourself in being.

Let its joy and ease 

accompany you 

through the stresses and 

anxieties of your everyday.

Presenter: Sue Thomas, Spiritual Director, Veriditas Faculty. 

“The labyrinth belongs to no one and everyone” has been a grounding mantra in my work, as I walk labyrinths, draw labyrinths on beaches, work with peers in creating large portable calico labyrinths, and use the hand labyrinth for journaling and reflection in many facets of my life and life’s work.  

I live on the land of the Yugambeh language peoples, the traditional custodians of the Gold Coast region in South-East Queensland. My long association with using the labyrinth as a tool for contemplative, meditative and spiritual practices began many years ago when the labyrinth ‘found’ me in Year 11 at high school through an “Art and Architecture in History” subject. Using the labyrinth as a tool for contemplation and reflection in my previous role as Lay Pastoral Minister for Brisbane Catholic Archdiocese, my current work as Spiritual Director and retreat facilitator, and my personal spiritual practice has been grounded and enriched by connecting with Veriditas. I am a certified Veriditas Advanced Facilitator and Trainer, a member of Veriditas Faculty, and a member of the Australian Labyrinth Network.
