Invitation to Walk the Labyrinth at St. Paul’s United Church Every Second Friday of the Month 6 pm – 7:30 pm

Lower Hall

Fee: $ 15 per person

A labyrinth is an ancient contemplative tool. Walking the labyrinth is as simple as taking time to follow the path to the centre, to pause there and to walk back out. You are also free to walk out of the labyrinth any time you wish.

Ideas for Your Walk
There is no “right” way to walk the labyrinth. An open mind and open heart is enough. You might choose to walk the labyrinth while focusing on a particular word, phrase or emotion, spend time thinking on a particular person, or just bring a question to ponder.

You are also free to just walk and allow your mind and body to relax after a busy day.

The St. Paul’s United Church Labyrinth is based on the labyrinth laid in the floor of the Chartres Cathedral in France from around 1220. It takes 30-40 min to walk it.

Following the walk there will be three stations offering an invitation for a deeper engagement with the possible emotions or insights gained during the walk:

1. Grounding the experience by spending some time journaling the experience.
2. Grounding the experience with an art activity.
3. Sharing in a circle led by Karin Stewart.

Karin Stewart has walked many labyrinths at many places over the years and is passionate about it as a tool of meditation and spiritual growth.
