The labyrinth is an ancient pattern, found in many cultures around the world, which helps us journey to our center. Unlike a maze with its puzzles and dead ends, the labyrinth has only one winding path to the center. Walking the labyrinth can aid in mediation, prayer and in the listening of the wisdom of our hearts. Walking the labyrinth also allows us to slow down and become more aware of God’s creation-the beauty of the sky, the fragrance of the earth, woods, flowers and the singing of the birds.
The Labyrinth in the Field is created from area stones and is located on the grounds of Edgecomb Community Church. It is medieval 7-circuit Chartres style designed after a thirteenth-century labyrinth at the Chartres Cathedral in France.
For further information about these events please email the church at edgecomb.church@gmail.com or call the office at 882.4060. The events are free to all. Donations are gratefully accepted for the upkeep of the labyrinth.
