Finding Peace on the Labyrinth

Once again, we were blessed with a beautiful evening for our Summer Solstice Peace Walk (held on June 21st, 2019) .at the Carleton Place Community Labyrinth. The magic of the evening seemed never-ending! We had all of the volunteer help that was needed. The sun beams landed directly on the labyrinth. The Rhythm and Song Community Choir sang angelically. And our guest speaker Mony Dojeiji, a veteran pilgrim and author, spoke directly from the heart, to all of our hearts.

We are very thankful for the photographers (John Rayner and Robert McDonald) who helped to catch the spirit of this very special event.

A Perfect Evening

We were blessed once again with a lovely summer evening - for our Summer Solstice Peace Walk at the Carleton Place Community Labyrinth, held Thursday June 21, 2108.   Everyone that attended had a good time celebrating the first day of summer. The new community dream catcher was completed and is now hanging in its new home by the labyrinth.

The special feeling of the event is best expressed through some of the photos taken.
