11.45 – 12.30 Labyrinth - Outdoor Meditation–“let go of the old & invite in the new”
A labyrinth is an ancient symbol that relates to wholeness. Labyrinths have been an important part of many cultures spiritually for thousands of years, and have also been used to create decorative art.
Walking through a labyrinth is usually intended to be a meditative and contemplative act, and many religions, including Christianity, integrate walking meditation in labyrinths into their spiritual practices.

It combines the imagery of the circle and the spiral into a meandering but purposeful path. The Labyrinth represents a journey to our own center and back again out into the world. Labyrinths have long been used as meditation and prayer tools.
We can have a direct experience. We can walk it. It is a metaphor for life's journey. It is a symbol that creates a sacred space and place and takes us out of our ego to "That Which Is Within."
