Stories are powerful forms of medicine. Mindfully engaged, they can unlock profound insights and hidden treasures within our psyche. Like ancient travelers bearing gifts, stories bring healing balms of comfort, truth, and wisdom from afar. Stories nourished our souls and fed our beings long before the written word.
The Bards of Celtic Narratives, the Gods and Goddesses of Greek Literature, and Grimm’s Fairy Tales of the Old World are rich in metaphor and meaning. Have you ever wondered why you fell in love with a story? Do you wonder why some characters speak directly to you and others you hate passionately? Do you wonder how a story mesmerizes you and others and leaves you disturbed?
This self-discovery workshop will use the labyrinth as a pathway to our inner journey and the medicine of stories to facilitate a beautiful day of magic and mystery.
We will use a three-fold process: stories, labyrinth coloring, and journaling dialogue. Of course Dorothy will make an appearance from The Wizard of Oz and maybe we will dialogue with the Wizard. Bring your favorite childhood story and crayons, along with an open heart and tons of curiosity.
Join me for this experiential five-hour workshop that can also be used as a Qualifying Workshop on your path to becoming a Veriditas trained Facilitator.
Dr. Robin B. Dilley brings over 35 years of experience to the table as an Arizona Licensed psychologist, author, and workshop facilitator. She has been an Advanced Veriditas Labyrinth Facilitator since 2015 and recently became a Veriditas Faculty member.
Since learning about the Labyrinth in 1992, Robin has drawn on her background in Experiential Family Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Jungian Theory to develop an active Labyrinth practice. She incorporates the Labyrinth into her work with clients in several ways. She explores its use as an ancient archetypal symbol for guidance and personal insight. Additionally, she teaches clients to use the Labyrinth as a tool for mindfulness and anxiety management, empowering them to use it for relaxation and stress reduction.
Now, through her newest endeavor, Arizona Labyrinth Connections, an extension of her psychotherapy and spiritual consulting practice, Dr. Dilley leads well-designed transformative workshops which include storytelling, journal writing, and a labyrinth experience. She creates workshops regularly and has two signature workshops, “Lessons from The Yellow Brick Road” and “Lessons from The Miller’s Daughter.”
Robin is available to create a workshop for your group or individual consulting to enhance your life’s journey. She also publishes a regular newsletter, Continue Your Journey.
Robin lives happily with her spouse of 28 years, Pam Smead. They enjoy cruising, walking, reading, and exploring life together. Don't hesitate to get in touch with Robin at drrobinbdilley@gmail.com to learn more.
