We Walked as One at One!

A small group of enthusiastic walkers, some with their dogs, joined together to walk the Carleton Place Community Labyrinth at 1:00 pm on Saturday May 7th, 2011. At the very same time around the world, there were others walking labyrinths in honour of World Labyrinth Day!  The simple objective is to effect a rolling wave of peaceful energy as the world turns.  How profound is that!

Walking the Path Together Makes a Difference!

Our Dream Becomes Reality!

 “The labyrinth is a larger-than-life metaphor of the spiritual journey. It calls you to trust the path and to experience directly what is happening. The path, the turns, the center, and all that you encounter on the walk have something to teach you.”

Rev. Dr. Lauren Artress, The Sacred Path Companion

It feels absolutely wonderful to have a long-awaited dream come true!  Here are some photos to show recent changes - as the labyrinth space starts to come together.  We are working towards having everything ready for our Labyrinth Fest celebration on Saturday June 18th... Hope to see you there.

A place to rest and take some time for reflection.



Garden beds full of promise.
