Inner Peace Labyrinth Walks
at
Trinity Episcopal Church


  Monthly schedule :
2nd Thursday opens at 2 pm
3rd Friday opens at 7 pm


The Labyrinth is an archetype, a divine imprint, found in all religious traditions in various forms around the world. By Walking a replica of the Chartres Labyrinth, laid in the floor of Chartres Cathedral around 1220, we are rediscovering a long forgotten mystical tradition that is insisting to be reborn.


The Labyrinth has only one path. The path winds throughout and becomes a mirror for where we are in our lives; it touches our sorrows and releases our joys. So walk it with an open mind an open heart.

THERE ARE THREE STAGE OF THE WALK:

PURGATION – a releasing, a letting go of the details of your life. This is an act of shedding thoughts and emotions. It quiets and empties the mind.
ILLUMINATION - is when you reach the center. Stay there as long as you like. It is a place of meditation and prayer. Receive what is there for you to receive.
UNION - which is joining God, your higher power, or the healing forces at work in the world. Each time you walk the labyrinth you become more empowered to find and do the work you feel your soul reaching for.




GUIDELINES FOR THE WALK:

Clear your mind and become aware of your breath. Allow yourself to find the pace your body wants to go. You may ‘pass’ people or let others step around you. . The path is two ways. Those going in will meet those coming out. Do what feels natural.
