Light a candle for Francois Legaux Light a candle for Francois Legaux
The passing of Canon Francois LEGAUX—affectionat The passing of Canon Francois LEGAUX—affectionately known  as Pere LEGAUX—saddens me. He was a warm hearted, kind, Roman Catholic priest who was dean of Chartres Cathedral when I was first exploring the labyrinth and was led to the doors of Chartres Cathedral. Though originally against opening the labyrinth there, he visited Grace Cathedral in 1997 and experienced how our Labyrinth Ministry at Grace nourished and changed lives. When he returned to France he opened the labyrinth on a limited basis. He was made Honorary Canon of Grace Cathedral. He was a mentor to me; a friend. He spoke little English, I spoke no French but when I was teaching him how to spell my last name I wrote out CHARTRES and then crossed out the first two letters and my named appeared. We both laughed with wonder. He loved and lived a full and passionate life. May he Rest In Peace.

I didn’t know how to live out my passion to be a creative force in my and others’ lives until I did a series of sessions with Lauren. She models a creative person who is follows her calling—she calls this passion a “soul assignment”.

K.O.

Lauren is able to take the most complex spiritual concept and make it real, allowing me to apply it easily and in a meaningful way in life situations. She challenges me to go beyond my comfort zone and at the same time is open, honest, and empathetic, providing me with a “safe” space for working through issues.

C.D.

Lauren is an excellent listener and she has a profound grasp and understanding of spiritual experience.

L.M.
