Join us for a Labyrinth Meditation + Picnic at McClelland Sculpture Park

Are you craving PEACE, STILLNESS & CLARITY?

Join Bridgette Parent, founder of Soul-Hive, for a transformative 3-hour guided journey at McClelland Sculpture Park. Together we’ll explore one of the oldest meditative tools ever known—the labyrinth.

Acknowledgement of Country
In the spirit of healing and deep listening, we acknowledge the Bunurong / Boon Wurrung people of the South-Eastern Kulin Nation as the Traditional Custodians of the beautiful bushland, lands, and waters on which we gather. We pay our heartfelt respects to their ancestors and Elders past, present, and emerging, and extend that respect to all First Nations peoples joining us. We honor their deep, continuous spiritual connection to this sacred Country and thank them for their enduring custodianship of this land.

The Experience


We will be walking “The Winding Path—The Search for Truth,” a stunning labyrinth created in 2010 by acclaimed Australian artist Andrew Rogers. Best known for his massive global “Rhythms of Life” project—comprising 51 monumental geoglyphs across 7 continents that are visible from space—Rogers designed this particular piece to invite deep contemplation. This is the first event of its kind to be held at this very special location. 


November is a truly gorgeous time of year at McClelland, and we are already imagining and hoping for a glorious, sunny spring day surrounded by the park’s beautiful natural bushland and native flora. To maximize the peaceful morning energy, the park is opening its gates an hour early just for us at 9:00 AM. While the general public and the on-site cafe don’t open until 10:00 AM, we will have the grounds to ourselves. 

We will all meet near the entrance and begin our journey with a gentle, 10-minute grounding walk together through the bushland to the labyrinth, which is tucked away beautifully in the back of the park, completely secluded from the crowds. (I will provide exact meeting details upon sign up!) 


Unlike a maze, a labyrinth has no dead ends; it is a single path in and a single path out. It is a path that leads directly to stillness, opening the doors to insight, clarity, and peace. Combining meditation, oracle cards, journaling, and heartfelt group discussion, this experience requires no prior experience. Simply come with an open mind and a willingness to slow down.

As you walk, you’ll be invited to let go of the noise of daily life, tune into your inner wisdom, and receive a message and crystal at the labyrinth’s centre. Afterward, we’ll gather for a relaxed picnic lunch to debrief, share reflections, and enjoy each other’s company in this stunning artistic sanctuary. 


What’s Included: 

  • Exclusive Early Access: Entry to the park at 9:00 AM, a full hour before it opens to the public
  • Guided Experience: A 3-hour journey facilitated by Bridgette Parent
  • Park Admission: Included in your ticket price (no extra entry fees)

  • A camp chair or picnic blanket 
  • Comfortable walking shoes and weather-appropriate clothing (this is an all-weather event) 
  • Sunscreen, a sunhat, and insect repellent, as needed

Spaces are intentionally limited to just 20 participants to ensure an intimate and meaningful experience for everyone.

Bridgette

Soul-Hive Sessions

Soul-Hive Sessions

Soul-Hive Sessions Flyer - generic location

 

Every Friday morning * 9:30-Noon * Austin TX * Starting January 2019

Learn who you REALLY are.

Remember your sovereignty.

Answer the question…WHAT AM I CALLED TO DO?

 

Let me give you a little back story here. For the past few years I have been receiving powerful messages, nudges and hard-to-ignore coincidences regarding Mary Magdalene. I have a deck of cards at home called Keepers of the Light. For the past year, almost every time I pull a card from here, it is this one:

MARY MAGDALENE

TEACHER AWAKENS

You have something important to share. Follow the inner call. Don’t let anything stop you.

I do have an inner call. It’s been there since I can remember, being reinforced more with every passing year. After becoming a Life Coach and a new mother, I heard a whisper in my ear that my company would be called “Soul-Hive” and my calling was crystalized: to bring seekers together and empower them, making the magical real, bridging the space between mystical and practical, and collectively raising the consciousness on this planet.

Since then, I’ve led retreats and workshops and had countless one on one sessions with seekers around the world. It’s all been delicious, and it’s all led me to this. An ongoing, in-person, divinely led, weekly series of Soul-Hive Sessions for women here in Austin.

I have decided there are just too many juicy topics to cover in one stand alone workshop or weekend retreat. And for me, the only meaningful way to do this is by creating a container for us to come together face to face, heart to heart, with inspiring, open-minded people. A place where we can be curious, get raw and go deep, building a hive of sorts, buzzing with new ideas and collective shifts that benefit all.

If you’ve worked with me before, you know that we never know just where we’ll end up once we get started. So I am creating a container, a continuum of curiosity, so that we can build each week to the next. There’s sooooo much to talk about. Each week we’ll have a new topic/exercise/situation to examine. Some might appeal more than others. That’s natural. Come and go as you see fit. The idea here is to let your inner compass be your guide.

We will meet in varying locations, typically in my home in the SW part of Austin or at the labyrinth at the Natural Gardener if it’s a topic that’s best suited outdoors. (You will receive a message with the location once you sign up.) Wherever we meet, a sacred space will be created where we can soak up the nourishing light around us.

As an introductory offer for the first 3 months (Jan-Mar 2019) each individual session is $33. Unlimited classes are $333 for this 3 month period. In April, rates will change to $50 per individual session/$150 per month. (Venmo is my preferred payment method: @bridgette-parent)

I am so incredibly excited about this. I can’t wait to see what happens as we grow together.

A Breath of Fresh Air

There’s nothing like a little walk in nature to boost your energy levels.  The sunshine and fresh air get your creative juices flowin’ and uplifts your entire perspective. If you’re feeling stuck, it’s one of the best ways to pull you back into harmony – physically, mentally and spiritually.

Lucky for me, I have a beautiful sanctuary in my back yard. The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in South Austin is the perfect place to top up your good vibrations.
