A Labyrinth Weekend:
an ancient path for a new way

Join hosts Max & Dr Bronwyn Greive and Elizabeth Schiemer, to learn more about this ancient meditative practice at an experiential weekend.

 March 27th -29th, 2026

Experience ways to integrate this ancient meditative practice into your life while being a part of something bigger than yourself in this labyrinth experience from Friday to Sunday afternoon. There will be time to walk & talk labyrinths & learn more skills as you become familiar with this great ancient tool.

A full weekend centred on reflection, insight and growth using the labyrinth in various ways. There are 4 walking labyrinths on the property, each with distinct patterns to follow. There are also numerous handheld labyrinths of different designs.

Begin the experience Friday night 7pm with meet and greet, laying the foundations for connection. 
This is followed by reflecting at supper under the stars.

Saturday starts at 9am, with 3 sessions, each with a different focus using a labyrinth, followed by quiet time for deeper contemplation.
There is time in the day for your choice of mindful activity.
Dinner in Dungog (to keep costs low choose your budget, venue and pay your own way).

“Great place. With the long weekend approaching we sought a getaway removed from urban sprawl. An easy 3hr+ drive from Sydney through some beautiful countryside - the place is well kept, secluded and has all the creature comforts you could need for a few days stay. We're a fan and we'll be back. ”- Doug
