Labyrinth Alchemy is a
creation of Barbara Ducharme and Mia Corinha and is part of the collaborative
called Alchemy
Enterprises.
Barb began working with labyrinths in the late
1990’s, when she purchased her first canvas labyrinth with a friend. Since then, Barb has built temporary and
permanent labyrinths in a wide variety of materials and environments. She has also designed and led workshops for
conferences of the Parliament of the World's Religions, The Labyrinth Society and the Labyrinth Guild of New
England (a not-for-profit educational organization she co-founded), and has brought the labyrinth to corporate
wellness fairs, as well as health care and religious settings. Barb has hosted countless public labyrinth walks,
and has also led labyrinth tours in New England and abroad, including the Chalice Well Garden in Glastonbury,
England. In addition to her BA in psychology from Clark University, Barb holds an MBA from Simmons College and an
EdM from Harvard University.
Mia first learned about Labyrinths from the
well-known geomancer Sig Lonegren in the mid 1980s. Mia holds multiple advanced certifications in
Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Language & Behavior Profiling, hypnosis, and life/work coaching and has a
particular interest in combining these helping tools to design meaningful Labyrinth
experiences.
Mia is a past director of
the Labyrinth Guild of New England and holds a BA in Theatre Art and English from Clark University (where she met
Barb). She has led and co-led experiential labyrinth workshops for the Guild, the Labyrinth Society, and other
venues in the US and abroad. She lives in Nahant, MA with her husband, 2 cats, and a Labyrinth in the back
yard.
