Mid-Winter Labyrinth Walk –
A Journey into the Centre of You
In-Person with Cheryl Kinney-Matheson & Dale Bially
Choose from three sessions beginning January 20, 2023
“Walking the labyrinth
is a spiritual practice involving body movement.
Walking the labyrinth
is a step by step journey to the centre of the symbol
and to the centre of your being.
Walking the labyrinth
quiets the mind, opens the heart, releases grief, and heals.
Walking the labyrinth organizes chaos and provides
an archetype of wholeness and unity.”
You are invited to walk
a candle lit Eleven Circuit Medieval Labyrinth
sometimes called the Chartres Labyrinth.
Your walk will be hosted by Dale Bially and Cheryl Kinney Matheson.
Cheryl is a certified Veriditas Labyrinth instructor and she will offer
an introductory teaching about the labyrinth prior to beginning the walk.
Following your walk, you will have the opportunity to reflect
by yourself and within a circle of sharing.
If you have not walked a labyrinth, you will be guided.
If you have walked before, every walk is a new experience.
Participants will need to remove your outer footwear so please bring extra socks or slippers to cushion your feet. You might wish to also bring your journal.

“I have walked this labyrinth many times and each time been left with an inner calm that I find hard to describe. If you are looking for a different kind of inner exploration, I would recommend trying a walk.”
Cheryl Kinney Matheson is a graduate of Prairie Jubilee, a member of Spiritual Directors International, and an Ordained Minister within the United Church of Canada.
She has served in congregations in Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario for 28 years and lives in Kenora, Ontario. She says that Prairie Jubilee transformed her pastoral ministry. The metaphor of ‘Pilgrimage’ for life’s journey, introduced to Cheryl through Prairie Jubilee, resulted in her Camino walk in 2011. Cheryl has participated in the Enntrain Worshops with Carol Ann Gotch and David Walsh and has led ‘Intro to the Enneagram’ workshops in her home community. Cheryl enjoys facilitating small group opportunities for prayer/meditation/reflection and labyrinth walks. Quiet sitting, reading, walking, camping and knitting are activities of enjoyment.
Dale Bially has worked extensively with the enneagram in his professional and personal life since 1993. Under the guidance of my mentors Carol Ann Gotch and David Walsh (students of Bob Ochs), he completed the Enntrain: Inspirited and Embodied Enneagram training program in 2012 and began teaching workshops and study groups with Inscapes Centre for Enneagram Studies. In 2012 he began working with the leadership team of Prairie Jubilee, to train spiritual directors and help other seekers find the truth of whom they are and how to live differently making our world a better place.
