Circles Explain It All | David Gallagher, Founder & Executive Director of the Labyrinth Society
Aired Thursday, 16 April 2015, 3:00 PM ET
When David Gallagher first walked a labyrinth in 1995, the experience changed his world in life-altering ways. Metaphorically, labyrinth walking became the turning of the knob that opened the door to a hitherto unknown world of questions and mysteries. One aspect of the experience was knowing that he had been called to help bring the healing potential of the labyrinth to others. He has subsequently lived that purpose principally through participation in the founding of The Labyrinth Society, ensuing service as an officer and director, and currently as its first Executive Director.
Building an occasional labyrinth locally is still in the mix, but his service seems more effectively placed and enlarged by working as behind-the-scene helper, both directly and indirectly, to all those who create, maintain, and use labyrinths worldwide. The questions and mysteries remain; the quest for answers and resolution an eternal process. How sweet it is.
