Episode 25 of The Path to Authenticity features Lauren Artress, the author of Walking a Sacred Path: Rediscovering the Labyrinth as a Spiritual Practice. The burnout she experienced from her work at San Francisco’s Grace Cathedral, in the mid 1980’s, led her toward the path to becoming the foremost expert on the labyrinth in the Western world. She created Veriditas, a non-profit devoted to organizing pilgrimages to sacred sites and carrying the labyrinth message around the world. She sees the walking meditation the labyrinth offers as a tool to truly integrate mind, body, and spirit. To learn more about the labyrinth, click here. Find the worldwide labyrinth locater here.

The Path to Authenticity is a podcast for people looking for more from life. It focuses on emotional wellness and starts from the premise that our true power comes from our individuality. We talk to various types of writers and artists as well as therapists, coaches, teachers, entrepreneurs, and professionals of all kinds. Our guests possess one common trait. They’re people who know who they are. We talk about what makes them who they are, how they became who they are, and how we might become truer expressions of who we are.
