A Wonder-filled Walk for Wellness!

We were blessed with glorious weather for the Carleton Place Community Labyrinth's Walk for Wellness, held on Saturday, June 16th!  We set up rest stops for the five senses all around the labyrinth - and encouraged visitors to take their time to visit these stops - as they prepared for their labyrinth walk.

Comments and feelings about the day were captured on a Reflection Poster.

The Sense of Sound
Inspiring Music and Thought-Provoking Questions to Ponder!

The Sense of Sight
Take some time to look around you, you will be surprised by what you see!
The Sense of Smell
Taking time to notice different fragrances can be a heady experience!

The Sense of Touch
Sit quietly and trace the path of the labyrinth with your finger - you will be touched by the experience!
The Sense of Taste
Slow down and take time to savour the flavours!
What words, symbols, feelings or sounds best describe your experience on the labyrinth today?

Walk for Wellness & Weekly Walks!

Dear Community Friend and Neighbour,

“Solvitur Ambulando… It is solved by walking” Augustine

You are invited to come to the Carleton Place Community Labyrinth to experience the peacefulness and healing energy it has to offer. Labyrinths have been walked for centuries as a way to improve physical and mental health. They can be used as an everyday tool to relieve stress, clear the mind, give insight, empower creativity and urge action.

We are fortunate in having an outdoor grass labyrinth right here in our community (corner of George and Baines Streets in Carleton Place, Ontario).


This summer we are offering a number of FREE events and guided walks. We are especially excited about our Walk for Wellness being held on June 16th from 10 am till noon. This event will be an opportunity to learn about labyrinths, experience a guided walk and participate in some engaging and fun wellness activities.

We will also be  hosting weekly guided walks from June until October. These guided walks will occur every Tuesday morning from 9 - 10 am. What a great way to start the day!

If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Debby Lytle at 613 257-1014 or dlytle@rogers.com.

We hope you can join us and walk the path.

The Carleton Place Labyrinth Committee
