Parma Greece UCC held their first ever Labyrinth walk on October 7 and 8. The walk was well received, so another Labyrinth Walk is planned for November 11 and 12.
A labyrinth is a patterned path, often circular in form, used as a walking meditation or spiritual practice. It is not a maze. A labyrinth’s walkway is arranged in such a way that the participant moves back and forth across the circular form through a series of curves, ending at the labyrinth’s heart or center.
The labyrinth will be located inside in the church’s Fellowship Hall. “We transform a multipurpose room initially intended to be a basketball court into a Sacred Space,” according to PGUCC Pastor Kurt Traugott.
The Labyrinth will be open Sunday, November 11, from 3 to 5 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. and again on November 12 from 7 to 11 a.m. It is free and open to the public. The Labyrinth walk is unguided so walkers can arrive and leave at any time during these hours. There will also be seating for those who prefer to meditate without walking the Labyrinth. Call the church at 392-6120 with questions, or for information on labyrinths and how to walk a labyrinth check the Labyrinth page at www.parmagreeceucc.org.
