The goal of Veriditas Labyrinth Facilitator Training is to prepare people to introduce others to the Labyrinth in an articulate, professional and effective way. The training addresses meditative walking in a variety of settings, with a variety of different populations. It is focused primarily on the Eleven Circuit Medieval Labyrinth but is inclusive of all forms. Walking the Labyrinth is being embraced as a spiritual practice throughout the Western world mostly because of Veriditas trained facilitators. The Veriditas Facilitator training, which began in 1997, remains the most rigorous and comprehensive training offered.
