"The Mystery of the Labyrinth: Using Ancient Myth for Soul Searching and Self Discovery” is the title of a talk to be given at the Emerald Coast Meditation Society on Thursday, May 5. Deborah Merwin will be the speaker.
The ECMS meets at 6:30 p.m. at 480 N. Co. Hwy. 393, Santa Rosa Beach, one-half mile north of Hwy. 98. The meeting, open to the public without charge, begins with 30 minutes of silent meditation.
Deborah Merwin is an Isian Priestess, interfaith minister, and founder of the Isis of Philae Lyceum. She has been facilitating local spiritual drama groups for 25 years. She is also a holistic health counselor, reiki practitioner and quantum biofeedback specialist. She and a partner opened Destin’s Feelin’ Good Health Food Store in 1986, and she became director of the Feelin’ Good Wellness Center in 2006.
“For thousands of years the language of symbols has been taught in the esoteric Mystery Schools for the purpose of achieving spiritual insight and self awareness,” Merwin says. “The initiates study and enact both classic and modern mythology with the understanding that within every dramatic plot there is a deeper, richer meaning that the soul responds to. These spiritual symbols speak beyond the intellect and communicate directly to the heart.”
The ECMS is an ecumenical group open to anyone. It meets on the first and third Thursdays. The evening ends around 8 p.m. with a short guided meditation. Anyone who would like meditation instruction should come at 6:15 p.m. Questions? Contact Nancy James, nancyjames@embarqmail.com.
