Here we offer a range of resources to help you gain confidence as you experience the labyrinth, and to suggest some ways for introducing the labyrinth in your community, organization, or work. These include self study notes, offering a foundation to the labyrinth and labyrinth walking, as well as a wealth of copyright-free materials* that you may wish to adopt, adapt, or add to, as part of an entry-level labyrinth host training program that you may wish to offer for others.

In addition to the resources offered by Labyrinth Launchpad, the following organisations provide support for training, as well as support for labyrinth projects. Most of these operate in the English-speaking world, and usually charge a fee for their services.
Labyrinth host training
The principle organisation for Labyrinth Facilitator Training is Veriditas, a US-based non profit organisation, founded in 1995 by Lauren Artress.
Veriditas offers introductory, facilitator, and advanced facilitator training, supported by an accreditation program. Its programs are periodically run in North America, Europe, and Australasia. It also hosts other location-based and online events, including retreats and summer schools. A scholarship grant can be applied for to support the cost of facilitator training.
