Labyrinth...The Journey Begins

Posted by Nicki Peasley Share Your Voice

On Saturday, October 2, "Labyrinth," the Bounce leadership program for mothers and daughters, held its opening ceremony. The fresh beauty of this autumn morning embraced these travelers as they embarked on their new journey together.

For the past two years, seventeen 6th grade girls have been navigating their inner landscapes and supporting each other in "girls circles," led by Bounce youth develepment director Nicki Peasley.  While the circle evokes imagery of wholeness and unity, the labyrinth calls for personal growth and transformation.  Combining the two is a means to our ultimate understanding of how we fit in the world. Through involving the girls' mothers and grandmothers this year, Labyrinth will foster an even greater opportunity for personal and relationship growth.  Further, Nicki and new co-facilitator, Dawn Coleman, are also adding a community service component as they challenge the girls to live the question: Based on what I've learned about myself and my fellow travelers, how can my individual voice and the collective voice of Labyrinth make a difference in the world?

After experiencing the labyrinth at the opening ceremony, one mother observed, “I loved that we were all walking in many different directions, yet we were all on the same path. Some walked quickly, others slowly, but we all made it to our own center.”

And that's what Labyrinth is all about...
