Walking a Sacred Path: Discovering the Labyrinth as a Spiritual Tool

First Presbyterian Church is launching its Labyrinth Ministry with our new Chartres 36ft labyrinth!

Join us Saturday, April 15, 9:30-12:00  for a workshop to introduce people to the labyrinth and the spiritual practice of walking it. Pastor Miriam, a trained labyrinth facilitator, will facilitate.  Come find out more about this ancient spiritual tool and have the opportunity to walk on the new First Pres canvas labyrinth.

We hope that you will carve out time for this workshop. Sign up with Jamie in the church office (449-7332 or info@firstpresalbany.org).  If you have any questions, please contact Miriam at the church office (449-7332 or mleupold@firstpresalbany.org).

People around the world are rediscovering the ancient practice of walking the labyrinth. Unlike a maze which has many paths, a labyrinth has only one path which leads to the center. While a maze is meant to trick and confuse you so you will lose your way, a labyrinth helps you find your way. Labyrinths have been found around the world with the most famous one found in the floor of the nave of Chartres Cathedral in France. First Pres’ new labyrinth is this pattern. Through the years people have used the labyrinth as a spiritual tool—a path of prayer, a walking meditation.
