Hospiz Schloss Bernstorf.  When I visited this beautiful place in March last year, I met the friendliest and most helpful people who are truly interested in and supportive of our work here in Bloemfontein.

When I went to see them again in January, I was welcomed with open arms (and a delicious lunch!) – and with excitement, we started to plan ways of working together. Thank you dr. Röhr and dr. Britta Borgwald for your advice, support and enthusiasm!  HOSPIZ SCHLOSS BERNSTORF

Hospice Bloemfontein, ZET Retreats

ZET Retreats & Workshops and Hospice Bloemfontein.

- Hospice Bloemfontein, ZET Retreats

The story of the beautiful new Rietjiesvlei Labyrinth in Bloemfontein is the result of a collaboration and serendipitous discovery between ZET Retreats & Workshops and Hospice Bloemfontein.

As part of her Certification as a Veriditas-trained labyrinth facilitator, Zarine Roodt started with a process of setting up a series of facilitated labyrinth walking events. The first took place in Zarine’s hometown of Bloemfontein on 11 November and took the form of a Dedication Ceremony for Hospice Bloemfontein, a holistic and compassion-focused palliative care service in the city.

Her next event will be at the Chartres-style Schoongezicht Labyrinth on the Rustenberg Wine Estate in Stellenbosch. To create the Rietjiesvlei Labyrinth, Zarine and Hospice Bloemfontein General Manager, Hanneke Maschke-Lubbe, worked closely with local architect Jan Ras, who was also responsible for devising a temporary labyrinth to accommodate 70 guests for Zarine’s 50th birthday 10 years ago, when labyrinths initially piqued her interest.

The result of the collaboration is a truly sacred space in the heart of Bloemfontein.

The classic seven-circuit Rietjiesvlei Labyrinth will remain as a permanent feature in the city and will be open to Hospice volunteers, patients and their families.

The ceremony was attended by volunteer workers who all brought along a symbolic token representing their personal inspiration for signing up as Hospice volunteers. Although they walked the labyrinth as a group, each person expressed afterwards that it was a meaningful yet extremely personal experience for them. Labyrinths are a feature at many hospices and specialised care facilities across the world.

The therapeutic benefits of walking a labyrinth in this specific care sector are many.

For hospice patients and their loved ones, walking a labyrinth can help to bring body, mind and spirit in harmony; have a calming influence and help people to release their fear, stress or grief; create a sense of stillness to help people find clarity about decisions that may impact themselves or their loved ones; and it creates an opportunity for introspection and acceptance in dealing with the reality of loss or death.

For hospice volunteers and companions, the meditative effect of walking labyrinth pens a space for reflection and for centring amidst the emotional impact that can be experienced with the work they do. But it also offers a sense of renewed resilience and vigour to continue withholding space for palliative care patients and their families.
