Labyrinth Walk
A labyrinth is a spiritual device used by various cultures since ancient times. In its most basic sense, it is a pathway consisting of different circuits that one follows - first leading towards the center and then back again towards the point where you began the journey. The Labyrinth is open on one specific Friday each month, except in July & August. Please check the online calendar for dates and times. |
