A labyrinth is a single, winding path, often in a circular or spiral pattern, that leads from an entrance to a center and back out again. It is distinct from a maze, which has multiple paths and dead ends, intended to be a puzzle. Labyrinths are frequently used as a tool for meditation, prayer and spiritual reflection, representing a journey inward and outward. A labyrinth is not religious; rather, it might be called a spiritual path or a walk for quiet reflection. Come bring yourself to the labyrinth in the Emmanuel Church gardens for a meditative walk. This labyrinth is open to all, anytime. Save the date for World Labyrinth Day, May 3, where we will walk as one at 1 p.m. People from all around the globe will be walking a labyrinth at 1 p.m. in their time zone. The intention is to create a wave of walking.
