Temporary Labyrinth
|
In 2023 we installed a temporary seven-circuit “Chartres-style” labyrinth in the front yard of our campus where two tall redwoods once stood.
Labyrinths have been used for thousands of years in cultures around the world. In Christian churches and cathedrals they have been used in prayer, meditation, and as a metaphor for pilgrimage. Contemporary labyrinths are found in settings including public parks, businesses, hospitals, and on college campuses. You are invited to walk our labyrinth whenever you wish, as long as doing so doesn’t interrupt an ongoing event. |

Walk the Labyrinth
|
A labyrinth is not a maze. It is a single winding path used to walk both into and out from the center circle. Simply walk at your own pace, passing or allowing others to pass if you are not alone. Guidelines for walking are in the box near the labyrinth. While there
is no wrong way, this is a commonly suggested 3-step process for
your walk:
Please contact the church office at 707- 762-8269 if you’d like to join our labyrinth committee. |
