Lauren Artress

Founder, Veriditas

The Rev. Lauren Artress, a canon at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, is president and founder of Veriditas, a non-profit dedicated to introducing people to the healing, meditative powers of the labyrinth -- a 12th century mystical tool symbolic of the Path of Life. The "On Faith" panelist, who seeks to reintroduce the labyrinth as a walking meditation into contemporary Christian spirituality, is the author of Walking a Sacred Path: Rediscovering the Labyrinth as a Spiritual Practice, The Sand Labyrinth Kit and The Sacred Path Companion . In 1987, Artress created Quest: Grace Cathedral Center for Spiritual Wholeness , which offered large group events such as the Women's Dream Quest and Singing for Your Life (later called Symphony of Souls) in order to nurture the connection between the human and divine. Through this work, she discovered the labyrinth in Chartres Cathedral. She travels worldwide offering workshops and lectures on the labyrinth and Hildegard of Bingen. An Episcopal priest, Artress also is a spiritual director and licensed marriage and family therapist. She sits on the editorial board of Presence Magazine, published by Spiritual Directors International. Close.
