I’m really excited about this episode for various reasons, it is the first episode of my new heart project called “Sacred Paris” which has been a long time in the making - there is something very special about firsts and about THIS first.

I’m also excited to welcome my guest today who I feel I found in a very serendipitous and divine way, these are two of my very favorite ways to be connected with others on this path.

And, I’m excited to connect two places that I call home (San Francisco and Paris) with this clandestine conversation which feels like such a beautiful way to begin my official love affair with “Sacred Paris.”

I was deep into one of the rabbit holes that I like to fall down into studying the labyrinth at Chartres Cathedral (which is just a short train ride from Paris) when I discovered my guest today:

The Reverend Dr. Lauren Artress is the author of Walking a Sacred Path: Rediscovering the Labyrinth as a Spiritual Practice, and The Sacred Path Companion: A Guide to Walking the Labyrinth to Heal and Transform (Putnam/Riverhead Books, New York).

Her latest book is The Path of the Holy Fool: How the Labyrinth Ignites our Visionary Powers.

Artress is an Episcopal priest and Canon Emerita at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco. She is a licensed Marriage and Family therapist in the State of California.

She is a Founder of Veriditas a non-profit dedicated to introducing people to the healing, meditative powers of the labyrinth.

The Chartres labyrinth is her passion along with individual psycho-spiritual coaching to help those with a vision give it form in the world.
