Labyrinths are an age-old approach to meditation. Unlike mazes, labyrinths have only one possible path: when you engage with a labyrinth, you can trust it to guide your journey.  Traditionally built outdoors in nature, they offer a peaceful setting for walking meditation.  Labyrinths can also be built indoors, or even made with wood, paper, or clay as “finger labyrinths.”  However you practice, the goal is to slow down and focus your attention on the simple movement around the curves.  As you enter the labyrinth, you can acknowledge a question or concern, and set the intention to receive guidance. As you move through the labyrinth, let go of thinking and problem-solving, and simply tune into the sensations of moving through space.  At the center of the labyrinth, pause.  Then trace your way back out, allowing insight to settle upon you and change you.  

We will be setting up a sparkly indoor Solstice/ Christmas labyrinth after the Sunday Service December 18, and invite you to visit throughout the following week and during our evening Christmas Eve gathering. The building will be open to walk the labyrinth:

12 to 5 pm

• Monday, December 19,
• Tuesday, December 20, and
• Thursday, December 22

and of course,

• 7-pm Saturday, Decemebr 24, Christmas Eve!
