World Labyrinth Day May 1 — Walk as One

Contributed by Nancy Ayer

Once again there is an invitation to “Walk As One” with those around the globe in an attempt to create a wave of peaceful energy moving around the planet.

You are invited to participate in an upcoming global event with the intention of spreading the healing benefits of the labyrinth.  Join in this second annual celebration of World Labyrinth Day, Saturday, May 1st 3:30 to 5 p.m. at the Emmanuel Parish Hall in Eastsound.

Last year, a variety of events were held at over 100 locations worldwide, including the Ellipse in Washington, D.C., churches, and even a women’s maximum security prison. Countries joining the celebration included: the United States, Canada, England, New Zealand, China, South Africa, and Australia.

World Labyrinth Day is an opportunity for global community building and celebration, as we join with others around the world, walking the path of the labyrinth.

Walk for the world. Walk for our country. Walk for Orcas Island. Walk for yourself. Walk for your loved ones.  Bring your joys, your grief, your concerns, your ponderings, your celebrations. Bring your own reasons for walking a labyrinth. If you don’t wish to walk, come sit around the healing energy of the labyrinth.
