Summer Solstice Labyrinth Walk | Franciscan Spirituality Center
June 20 @ 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Open between 4 and 7 p.m. Plan on about a half-hour visit.
The summer solstice marks the official start of astronomical summer and is the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. On this day of abundance, light and renewal, we invite you to walk our indoor labyrinth. People of all faith traditions and spiritual backgrounds (or none) are welcome. A labyrinth is a single path that has been used as a walking meditation for prayer and reflection since ancient times. For many, it is symbolic of a pilgrimage and can help bring about clarity, peace and healing. Our canvas labyrinth is designed in the pattern of the cathedral labyrinth in Chartres, France, which dates back to the 1200s. This is a silent, self-guided practice suitable for older teens and adults.
NOTE: If you would like to bring younger children to experience the labyrinth, we ask that you visit between 6:30 and 7 p.m. A brief instruction is available for those new to the labyrinth.
Investment: Freewill offering.
