There are some moments that seem small when they happen, but later you realise they changed the direction of everything.

For me, one of those moments happened in a labyrinth in the woods at the end of my garden.

I had received what felt like a clear inner instruction to build a labyrinth there.

It was a simple three-circuit path made from leaves, held within a little temple of trees.

I had already been exploring labyrinths, sacred geometry, dowsing and the subtle relationship between people and place.

But dragons were not yet part of that story.

• I remember the first time a labyrinth's mystique captivated me. It was more than just a maze-like path; it was a journey inwards

• Ever since my first Labyrinth journey, I have sought them out wherever I go! The designs, the feeling of inner peace, of deepening within, the nature all around, inspired me to design and build my own in woodland at the end of my garden

• Teaching with the wonderful Thames Valley Dowsers this summer, at the Global Retreat Centre in Oxfordshire, I shared this fascination. The labyrinth, more than a structure, became a shared story
