With the help of one of our very dedicated volunteers, we have constructed a labyrinth at our barn.
As a reminder our turf labyrinth and part of the meditation trail remains closed to foot traffic at this time. A shortened meditation trail, with fewer stations, is still open for walking.
This closure is an effort to preserve the trails as it allows for the restoration of the trail and our labyrinth.
As Spring begins to creep toward Summer, join us as we contemplate blooming where we are.
As our labyrinth is still closed for restoration, this walk will be located at our new grass labyrinth outside of our barn on Waggoner Road.
Wednesday, May 29 7:00 – 8:30 pm
Registration closes May 26
Facilitated by Susan Bellotti, pastoral associate
$5 donation
A snack and a beverage will be provided.
All programs have a minimum of five participants.
