LABYRINTH WALK
Labyrinth
Scheduled Walks:
October
6, November 3, December 1
(Please note that in October only information will
be available in the Office of Campus Ministry, 10-310, but walkers will go
to Westminster on their own for the walk. In November and December, the
walks will be group walks.)
We
walk two blocks to Westminster Presbyterian Church
to walk the canvas labyrinth in their Fellowship
Hall . We return by 1:00 p.m.
The Labyrinth is a walking meditation that quiets the mind and offers a
metaphor for life.
It is not a maze in which one finds dead ends, but a winding route to
the Center, to the Source, that may guide us in discovering our true
selves. Labyrinths can be found in almost every spiritual tradition, from
the Tree of Life in Jewish Mysticism to the Medicine Wheel in Native American tradition. The
one we will walk is an 11 circuit (circle) labyrinth which is the same
design as the one in the floor of the Chartres
Cathedral in France.
For those not familiar with this ancient meditation tool, brief
instruction is offered.
Come walk the labyrinth if you are curious, or if you are seeking, or if
you have walked it many times and found it assists you on your
spiritual journey.
The labyrinth is open from 12 noon to 8pm each first Tuesday of the
month if you want to walk it on your own.
Directions to Westminster Presbyterian Church
125 North Wilkinson St.
Go to Building 12 and exit onto Perry St.. Turn left and walk to the
corner of Perry and Third St. Cross Third St. and continue on Perry to
Second St. Turn right and walk one block to Wilkinson. Turn left and walk
half a block and you will find the entrance to the church on the left.
