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.

Debby talks about the meaning of the dreamcatcher.

The community gathers to celebrate the beginning of summer at the labyrinth.

The Rhythm & Song Community choir sings to accompany the walk.

The dreamcatcher is placed at the centre of the labyrinth and participants add items to it.

Labyrinth walkers of all ages participate.

Summer Solstice Peace Walk

From 7:00 - 8:30 p.m. on Thursday June 21st, 2018, the Labyrinth Committee will present a "Summer Solstice Peace Walk” at the Community Labyrinth in Carleton Place.

With this summer evening event, the Committee hopes to focus attention on the need for peace in the world and within ourselves. Labyrinths have long been used as meditation and prayer tools and have even been used for bringing peace and reconciliation between individuals in conflict.

"I believe that walking the path of the labyrinth can bring peace to those who seek it," says Stephanie Bray, a volunteer for The Labyrinth Committee of Carleton Place.

Join us for an evening labyrinth walk and help to collaboratively create a community dreamcatcher.   During the walk – the Rhythm and Song Community Choir directed by Jennifer Noxon – will sing songs with the theme of “Peace”.

All are welcome! You are invited to picnic in the garden beforehand.

Donations in support of the Labyrinth Commitee’s programming are gratefully accepted.

Carleton Place Community Labyrinth is located beside the Carleton Place & Beckwith Heritage Museum, at 267 Edmund St.
