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) 
  • Mindfulness Tools: Small journal & pen, oracle card, and personal crystal

What to Bring:

  • 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
  • An open heart and mind 

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

WHERE are you going to be for the ECLIPSE?

If the two eclipses of 2023-2024 make the Texas Hill Country one of the luckiest locations on the planet, its luck is only temporary. The following ‘ring of fire’ annular solar eclipse will happen here in 217 years and the next total solar eclipse won’t occur until May 26, 2617. That’s 593 years away!!!

So the question is…how are you going to maximize this once in a lifetime experience?

Just so happens I have 2 amazing opportunities for you.

Adrienne Goff and I are hosting a weekend retreat on April 6–7 at a charming fairytale home in the Texas Hill Country. These 50 acres in Wimberley are located on powerful ley lines and known to be visited by native Americans who are called to experience its energy. We’ll have lots of fun activities to raise our vibration in hopes of connecting with the stars overnight. It’s the perfect time and the perfect place to experience this magical eclipse window.

Learn more in this Facebook link.

We’ll also be hosting a special full day in Marble Falls on April 8th to witness the actual eclipse. This event is on sacred land that connects ley lines all the way from the Yucatan in Mexico up to Sedona, Arizona and beyond. It’s also in one of the most beautiful wildflower areas in all of Texas.

We’ll have meditations and labyrinth walks along with fun games and crafts. Bring your own picnic lunch and plan to spend the whole day, as we’ll hike the gorgeous wildflower filled trails at Turkey Bend Recreation Area after the eclipse.

We hope you can join us for one or both of these exciting events in the Texas Hill Country to celebrate the incredible energy of this much anticipated TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE.

Much love,

Bridgette & Adrienne

Heart-Warming Testimonial

I was so honored to receive this beautiful review from my friend, Eva:

“I recently had a transformative session with Bridgette, and I am truly grateful for the profound impact she has had on my life. Her compassionate and nurturing presence, combined with her extraordinary insight and understanding of the unseen, helped me overcome the deep emotional pain I had been carrying from the loss of my father and a difficult separation with my sister. In less than an hour, Bridgette’s healing energy enabled me to release the anger and sorrow that persisted even after two years of therapy, enabling me to reconnect with my sibling.

Bridgette’s approach goes beyond just offering solutions; she is a dedicated teacher who empowers her clients to discover their own abilities for self-healing and growth. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone struggling with blocked energy and those who are committed to personal development. Bridgette’s expertise and genuine care have the power to transform lives.“

I was so touched by her message. And in reading it, I realized my clients can describe what I do much better than I can describe it myself, which prompted me to create a Google Business page for Soul-Hive. Here, others can leave testimonials about their own experience with my services.

So if you’ve ever had a session with me, whether it’s for coaching or a card reading, or even attended one of my workshops, retreats or breathwork meditations, I’d be so grateful for you to share your experience here:  Soul-Hive

Community Healing Circle at Soma Vida

Community Healing Circle - Soma Vida - April 2018

Who’s ever walked into a room before and felt an instant icky feeling? Or felt absolutely drained after talking with a gloomy coworker? Conversely, have you ever had a conversation with someone for what you thought was about 10 minutes and you realize it was well over an hour? Where did that boost come from??

Saturday, April 7th at 6pm at Soma Vida, I’ll be presenting…

“Energy Vampires & Energy Angels – Understanding Effects of the Frequencies All Around Us”

This brief class will help you understand how the energy around us can physically affect our own, and what you can do to best manage it.

I’ll also be offering card readings after the presentation.

Join us for this and other in-depth opportunities to experience some excellent psychics and healers first hand. Suggested donation of $20+ grants you access to a 25 minute session with the healer of your choice. Proceeds benefit several local Austin nonprofits and charities.
