Why?

Imagine starting your own family tradition. On each anniversary walk independently into a labyrinth letting go of all attachments to adversarial thinking. Connect to the deeper quality underneath your mind chatter to what binds you both into a meaningful connection.

Let it become an annual reminder for letting go of your thoughts and images of what’s not working in your relationship for connecting to the meaning and values you made in your original entwining agreement. Together walk the path out refreshed in a renewed purpose of connecting to each other, your shared values and inner beauty.
