Join us for a rich and special evening of a candlelit labyrinth walk, with beautiful vocal and musical accompaniment from Cathy Rowland.

This is a time in the year when we all long for the light. We mark the astronomical turning on the shortest day, the Winter Solstice, and celebrate the return of lighter days. And we long for the arrival of spiritual light – of love, compassion and hope – in our own lives and in these dark times in the world. In the Christian tradition, we are in the season of Advent, a period of mindful waiting, as we anticipate the celebration of Christmas.

Walking a labyrinth is a contemplative or meditative practice. Labyrinths are circuitous spiral paths which lead us to a centre area; you walk the same path back out returning to the beginning. Labyrinths are inclusive, archetypal, non-dogmatic symbols that have been found in different cultures for over 4000 years. We will walk a hand-painted eleven circuit labyrinth modelled on the 13th century labyrinth inlaid in the floor of Chartres Cathedral, France. We invite you to bring your intentions, hopes and questions into the labyrinth walk.

No prior experience of labyrinths or meditation is required.
