"With a Labyrinth, you make a choice to go in - and once you've chosen around and around you go.  But you always find your way to the center."

New Product!  The Labyrinth Walk
 
We're excited to introduce a new product this week, The Labyrinth Walk.   This portable Labyrinth measures 16 feet in diameter and is designed to allow trainers, facilitators and organizations put a Labyrinth wherever they need it.  Made from highly durable vinyl, this Labyrinth can be used indoors or outdoors on many types of surfaces. 

The Labyrinth is an archetype, a divine imprint, found in all religious traditions in various forms around the world.  By walking a replica of the Chartres labyrinth, laid in the floor of Chartres Cathedral in France around 1220, we are rediscovering a long-forgotten mystical tradition that is insisting to be reborn.

The labyrinth has only one path so there are no tricks to it and no dead ends. It makes for a wonderful reflection tool that allows participants to enter with something specific in their mind, and reflect on it during the time it takes to wind their way through the maze.  Once they reach the center, they can stay there as long as they like before they wind their way back out.  


Also, in case you missed the announcement last week, check out our New Website!   The old one was getting a little tired, and a refresh was definitely in order.  Cruise on over and check out the new features, including instant downloads of content and videos of activities!  If you click on the link and get our old site, just hit refresh and the new one will load.  Let me know what you think!

Enjoy!

Have fun out there,

Hog Call Cards
Hog Call Cards
This activity was created by the great Karl Rohnke and is a fun ice breaker activity. We created this deck of cards after we got tired of writing down animal names before we played the game each time. The deck of cards has 50 cards to it, with 25 pairs of different animals on them. Basic concept of the game is that each person will get a card with an animal on it. With their eyes closed they have to 'call out' the noise that their animal makes and try to find their partner out there that also is making the same noise. Can be played with small groups or as large as 50!

Regular Price: $32.99    On Sale:  $27.99
