Built in Jerusalem’s wall.…

​It was an amazing week Daniel – Truly amazing! Time did its weird and wonderful thing as it always does while working with the labyrinth … it’s like the void was split and time suspended. It was a beautiful group, lots of love, laughter, tears, honesty, kindness and connection, WOWZERS ! My soul has been well fed. Honestly, I just can’t find words good enough to express how wonderful it was. Sara Hall

Sacred Geometry for me is becoming a way to discover myself from the understanding of the roots and origins of things. This has been only possible with the guidance and knowledge shared by Daniel during his engaging sessions. This course in labyrinths, was a hands on experience in crafting, drawing and learning the philosophy behind the shapes and forms. Thanks Daniel. Claudia Martinez
