Labyrinth

The labyrinth has long been a symbol of wholeness, birth and rebirth. For some Native peoples, it symbolizes the womb; for others it illustrates the story of emergence, of life’s cycles and the choices which confront us on our life’s pilgrimage. This year, our labyrinth is dedicated to the journey we are on, individually and collectively. The unpredictability of the labyrinth’s path, yet its ordered progression toward the center, can be both disorienting and comforting. Join us as we surrender to the path of the labyrinth and walk for wholeness, co-creation of beauty, and the hope of new life we carry in our hearts.
