The Labyrinth is an archetype, a divine imprint, found in all religious traditions in various forms around the world. It has only one path, so there are no tricks to it and no dead ends. The path winds around and doubles back on itself, becoming a mirror for where we are in our lives, a metaphor for our spiritual journey; it touches our sorrows and releases our joys. The pathway in and the pathway out are the same; only the pilgrim has changed in the process.
Holy Trinity's outdoor labyrinth is located in the courtyard at the lower end of the columbarium. It is well-lit and open to walkers 24 hours a day. Instructions for walking can be found on the covered walkway in front of the labyrinth near Greene Street.
The Labyrinth Keepers are an ecumenical group dedicated to providing education and opportunities for people to experience transformation through walking the labyrinth. The group meets the first Monday of each month from 12:15–1:15 p.m. in the Upper Room. In conjunction with The Servant Leadership School and InnerWalk, the Labyrinth Keepers plan, advertise, train, and provide facilitators for a variety of community-wide labyrinth offerings. Call 275-0431 or email .
We are three-fourths of the way to reaching our goal of walking Holy Trinity’s outdoor labyrinth 365 days in 2010! This community-wide effort keeps the energy of peace and love flowing and ensures that we never have a lonely labyrinth. Walkers pray for one another and for the world as they walk. You can help keep the energy of peace and love flowing by pledging to walk as often as you want – one day a week, one day a month, or one day during the year. Go to www.labyrinthkeepers.com to sign up for specific days to walk.
The labyrinth offers a blueprint for connecting the mind, body, and Spirit to support the forces of healing. On the third Monday of each month from 12:15–1 p.m., join the Holy Trinity Labyrinth Keepers in a service for healing on Holy Trinity’s outdoor labyrinth. Before walking the labyrinth, you will have the opportunity to name people aloud or in your heart to receive prayers for healing. If desired, you may wear a prayer shawl during the labyrinth walk to remind you that you and those for whom you pray are wrapped in God’s love and protection. In case of inclement weather, we will gather in Roe Library for healing prayer.
