I had a similar experience at an event provided by a spiritual group in an public park some years ago.
They had a copy of the Labyrinth of the Chartres Cathedral on a large foil (original sized) and offered you to go on a slow walk with some strangers also on their way.
I gave it a try and was ordered to think about a situation in my past where something negative happended (no big trauma!) that was bothering my afterwards.
I went with a memory of a situation in which I had an experience of not belonging to a group.
We gathered in the centre of the labyrinth and one member of the group lead us through a ritual with chanting and burning a piece of wood. The ontological claims sounded like bullshit to me. I just smiled, nodded and listened.
After the ritual and after the walk back I was in a great mood.
And ever since then I feel more connected to groups and have more feeling being part of my social circles.
