The Labyrinth
REDISCOVER AN ANCIENT SPIRITUAL TOOL FOR MODERN-DAY TRANSFORMATION
“Solvitur ambulando…” It is solved by walking… –Saint Augustine
You are invited on a modern-day pilgrimage at Holy Trinity’s outdoor labyrinth located adjacent to the sanctuary in the gracious and peaceful columbarium garden. In the center of the beautifully crafted eleven-circuit Chartres-style stone labyrinth is a fountain of
flowing water while a replica of a Celtic high cross bears witness to this sacred place. By walking the labyrinth alone or in a guided
group, you may experience a kind of body prayer or walking meditation that quiets your mind, allowing your spirit to become more
receptive to the still small voice of God. The Holy Trinity labyrinth, located in a cloistered and well-lighted outdoor
space, is always available for individual walkers. Opportunities also abound for you to experience facilitated labyrinth walks in the
context of a supportive community.

Labyrinth Walk for Healing
Third Monday of each month from 12:15–1 p.m.
The labyrinth offers a blueprint for connecting the mind, body, and Spirit
to support the forces of healing. Join the Holy Trinity Labyrinth Keepers
in a monthly 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.
Location: Outdoor Labyrinth, Holy Trinity Episcopal Church

365-Day Walkers for Peace
At least one person walks Holy Trinity’s labyrinth and prays for peace every
single day of the year! This inspirational community-wide effort is now in
its third successful season. 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. Perhaps you will want to walk the
labyrinth on your birthday or your anniversary or some other special day.
Some people sign up for the same day each week or each month. Walkers
pray for one another and for the community and the world as they walk.
You are free to choose any time of the day that is most convenient for you
walk.
