Special Events
A Community Supported Labyrinth
Workshop & Ceremony
Saturday and Sunday, July 19 and 20th
Common Place Farm
To create a labyrinth is to physically manifest the
Mystery of the universe. To walk a labyrinth is to spiritually
evoke the Mystery within us.
At this Community Supported Labyrinth Workshop and Ceremony at Common Place Farm we will not only create the physical path of a labyrinth on the earth’s body, but also explore this path in our own bodies. Through times of moving, meditating, exploring, witnessing, eating, resting, celebrating, and walking the labyrinth, we will answer the ancient call to commune with the sun, the moon, the wind and the water, and we will embrace the innate desire (however shy) to dance with the grasses, the flowers, the trees, and the creatures of this earth. We look forward to sharing this experience with you.
