We will visit an ancient Celtic healing well in the HEART of the original church and connect our hearts with the beauty and grace of this sacred place. On this day we will allow ourselves time at this ancient Gothic Cathedral to engage the mysteries of The Sacred Heart that are connected with The Divine Feminine. Standing on ancient Celtic/Druid sacred ground Chartres was built according to principles of sacred geometry and is reputed to be an ancient temple of the Great Goddess. For centuries pilgrims have traveled near and far to this place of spiritual power, once seen as the primary sanctuary for the Mother of God in France. The sacred relic known as 'The Virgin’s Veil,' said to be worn by Mother Mary during childbirth, is said to be housed in it's walls. The sun spire and moon spire give it a unique balance of masculine and feminine energy. The carvings and stainglass windows tell a story not recorded in history books, remaining here, infused in glass and stone. Chartres Cathedral is also famous for it's 11 Circuit Labyrinth, which may or may not be open to the public. The Labyrinth, inlaid into the Cathedral floor, is for walking labyrinth meditations used for personal insight and revelation. In addition to a group circle event within the Cathedral structure or grounds, each participant will have private time to explore the sacred mysteries of this mystical site including the Black Madonna in the main cathedral area, and the Black Madonna of the Crypt.
