Beste labyrintwerkers,
Voor de online LabyrintWerk master classes nodigen we sprekers uit binnen- en buitenland uit om hun kennis en wijsheid over het labyrint te delen, zowel vanuit alledaagse als niet-alledaagse invalshoeken. Ze brengen verdieping in en verrijking van je beleving van het labyrint. Onze sprekers worden aangemoedigd om in hun master class de diepte in te gaan. Het is daarom fijn als je ervaring met het labyrint en bijvoorbeeld weet hoe je een (klassiek) labyrint tekent.
De voertaal van deze online LabyrintWerk master classes is Engels. Indien nodig wordt voor een korte vertaling of verduidelijking naar het Nederlands gezorgd. Na je aanmelding ontvang je een bevestiging van deelname, en enkele dagen voor de master class ontvang je de uitnodiging voor de online bijeenkomst via zoom. Deelname is gratis voor leden van LabyrintWerk, niet-leden betalen €25,- per master class.
We zien je graag bij deze boeiende LabyrintWerk master classes!

Dear labyrinth workers,
For the online LabyrintWerk master classes we invite both national and international speakers to share their knowledge and wisdom about the labyrinth, from the everyday point of view to metaphysical contemplations. They deepen and enrich your experience of the labyrinth. Our speakers are encouraged to go in depth in their master class. Therefore, experience with the labyrinth and for example knowing how to draw a classical labyrinth, is highly recommended.
The language of these online LabyrintWerk master classes is English. If and when necessary, a short translation or clearification will be done into Dutch. After your registration you will receive a confirmation of participation, and several days before the master class you will receive the invitation link for the online session via zoom. Participation is free for LabyrintWerk members, non-members pay €25,- (approx. USD27) per master class.
Looking forward to meeting you at these interesting LabyrintWerk master classes!

LabyrintWerk master class autumn 2025:
Labyrinth Cosmology: Finding your Role in our Evolving Universe
by Lars Howlett
LW master class autumn 2025
This master class will share the labyrinth work by Lars Howlett from the USA. He trained with Veriditas, where he is a Faculty Member and Certified Advanced Labyrinth Facilitator. Several years he studied with Robert Ferre. Lars has his own labyrinth company, where he designs and installs labyrinths, hosts workshops and travels, and hosts presentations and training.
Labyrinth Cosmology: Finding Your Role in Our Evolving Universe
Lars Howlett
The creation of a labyrinth begins at its center, where a point of inception is chosen, grounding the design in time and space. From the moment of conception, the journey unfolds through imagination and intention. We form a compass, orbiting the origin and shaping the circuits that engage our environment and form a pattern of perspectives. The outer circle creates the container, establishing the sacredness of the space and defining its domain.
Orientation is key— directing the entryway and determining what will be faced in the middle. A simple string will guide both the entrance path and the one that leads to center. A perpendicular line calls in the four directions, becoming an axis mundi connecting heaven and earth. Smaller arcs drawn from the line ends yield 180 degree turns, giving the walk rhythm and balance. At the center rosette, sacred geometry infuses the design with symbolism, while the perimeter lunations radiate a field of energy. The archetype is awakened, and the journey is yours.
In this workshop, we will discover the universal patterns and symbolism woven into the design and experience of the labyrinth. The labyrinth can help us better understand our life journey as we return to our center and the source of creation. Together, we will reflect on our orientation, perspectives, and connection with the universe, using the labyrinth to behold our personal cosmology. Through drawing, tracing, and walking labyrinths, we can find our role in the evolving universe.
“Symbols enable us to enter into experiences that are otherwise impossible.”
– Brian Thomas Swimme
