Spring Labyrinth Day ~ May 10, 2025


"The flower doesn't dream of the bee. It blossoms and the bee comes." - Mark Nepo 


~FALL 2024 LABYRINTH DAY ~
"Migration of the Heart"  Nov 23, 2024 " Re- offer"



The Great Migration can get forgotten
if we don't pay attention or bear witness to it.
~Jacqueline Woodson

Come welcome the transition of the season as our senses are drawn into the "movement"  of transition.
Take time to enjoy the gift of FALL as we prepare for the coming of cooler air and 
the shorter daylight!  Together, we will breathe in the mystery of 
transition from
Summer to Fall  and readying for Winter.


"Walking" the Labyrinth can be done using your feet, eyes and heart!  
It is a Migration from HERE to THERE...
PRESENCE is the way and the sacred journey!

The day will be experienced both Indoors and Outdoors


~Spring Labyrinth Day ~May 4, 2024

"If you want to fly ....Give up everything that weighs you down!  ~Buddha

This Labyrinth experience will offer lessons from the "feathered" ones
 to "awaken" within us a deeper understanding of Self-Care & Compassion.

is more blue, the white clouds take on marvelous shapes;  the moon is a wonderful apparition, 

rising gold, cooling to silver; and the stars are so big..." -Faith Baldwin
