Notes on the Labyrinth

The labyrinth is not holy in itself, but what can happen on it is holy.  It is a joy to share with you that people are experiencing renewal of spirit on the St. Paul’s Labyrinth.  These stories have been related recently by people of different ages and backgrounds.  Here are a few:

A young man came to visit his grandmother and shared with her his sense of depression.  Because she had walked it herself, she suggested that he try it.  After returning home he called to let her know, he realized his depression was gone.

A mother whose child was ill, had a “heavy heart” so she came to St. Paul’s to walk the labyrinth and pray in the meditation garden.  Her daughters condition had not changed, but this woman had a new found feeling of well being.

A woman came to Cambria on a retreat.  The leader let the group know about our labyrinth, so she came to walk it.  Her experience was so positive, that she came back Sunday, on the last day of her retreat, just to see what kind of people worship here.

And artist was ”feeling dry” and found her creative imagination again by walking the labyrinth.

In May, you have a special invitation to come seek and find renewal of the spirit at a day of retreat, “Walking the Seasons, New Life” with The Rev. Donna Ross and the Labyrinth Team, On Saturday, May 20th from 10am to 2pm.  We will meet in the library for reflections on New Life.  Bring a bag lunch and we will provide tea, coffee and cookies. Please call the office to let us know you are coming.  There will be an opportunity for a Labyrinth Walk.
