About the Labyrinth:
The Labyrinth is in the form of a circle with a meandering path from the edge to the center and back out again – large enough to be walked into and out of. The Labyrinth has only one path and once we make the choice to enter it, the path becomes a metaphor for our journey through life.
The Labyrinth is a replica of classical eleven-circuit Chartres Cathedral Labyrinth. Labyrinths are an ancient mystical tool that can help bring about personal transformation and a shift in consciousness. It is meant to awaken us to the deep rhythm that unites us to ourselves and to the Light that calls from within.

"I'm preparing for a big surgery in coming days. I feel this helped me to be in the optimal head space."
"Amazing nervous system reset!"
"It felt like a journey through space, time, and into my body."
"I drank in this healing sound journey. It gave me great peace, ease, and relaxation in my body and the facilitator’s warmth, love, and kindness was contagious and greatly appreciated. Thank you for making my day.” – Laura Palten
“Sound healing pleasantly surprised me as I’m building out my toolkit for mental health and recovery from alcohol. This experience was pure magic.”
"It was like getting a message from the inside out." - Bev
"I can't believe I can come to the library and have such a spiritual experience." - Nancy
"Thank you for the amazing adventure, through Sound Journey with Creativity Alive.
"Right away the music brought me in touch with dark and unsettling feelings, I knew I was in a safe space to explore them. Without a face or a story attached to these feelings, I just let them roll up to the surface. I rested.
"In time without really being aware of the shift, I found myself calm and renewed and rested, the music was angelic and my mood light. I went a full 360 degrees in my emotional range and I was shocked.
"Healing happened and it was effortless."
-- S. Whittaker
"Mmm, I felt so much tension release in my body, it felt like I had received a full body massage. :) Thank you so much for your beautiful offerings. I feel so nourished and held during our circles (with deep permission to express!) - it’s a real joy."
-- Cynthia Hawk
Mer's gong bath "was awesome. I've never heard gongs like that. They really are sound beings. They were telling a story and making me feel all kinds of different things. There were ups and downs, anticipation, deep, powerful. I felt in my primal power.
I've been to a lot of gong baths but never experienced what you've delivered. Now this is a problem; every gong bath will be very disappointing.
I want to hold onto this as long as I can."
-- Chastity
"This was an amazing experience. Mer has a true gift and has such a welcoming spirit, she’s a master of her art. Just sitting in the energy of the gongs is almost indescribable. I was able to totally and completely relax my body and mind and let the sounds and vibrations of the gongs and other instruments wash over me. After the session I felt lighter and more balanced, I was able to sleep better and felt more free. Totally, 100% recommend!"
-- Sarah Hinton
“I didn't know what to expect. This blew me out of the water.
"I felt like it was a choir of ancestors singing to me. It was like a bunch of monks circling in a small cave in a deep meditative Om style. I heard the voice come into that. It was like this angelic presence. I was wondering 'Is there music playing over here? Am I imagining this? Oh wait.' I thought I was creating music myself in my head to go with it. It felt like it was me. I was creating it, but after some time I realized ok it's Mer; it's in this room. I started humming. It sounded like we were making music.
"I booked Mer for a private session during a destination girls trip in Boulder. I was just expecting a typical gong sound bath, but it was far more than I could’ve ever imagined. I really understand why she calls her gongs “sound beings” and felt as though I was enveloped by them and taken to another dimension. She provided such a calm, open, and nurturing energy that made us all very comfortable and open to receive and connect. The incorporation of complementary sounds was beautiful, unexpected and truly elevated the experience.
Do not hesitate to join her for a session! I wish I lived there so I could attend regular offerings.”
