SUMMARY:Summer Solstice Labyrinth Walk
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, June 20\n9-10:30 pm\nLabyrinth Garden\nFC North\n\nLet’s start off this summer by integrating the body with the mind and spirit.\nArrive at 9 pm to hear information about the history and importance of labyrinths and our connection to them and to the summer solstice\, or anytime after 9:30 pm to walk the labyrinth independently. \nLabyrinths are used world-wide as a way to quiet the mind\, calm anxieties\, recover balance in life\, enhance creativity\, and encourage meditation\, insight\, self-reflection\, and stress reduction. \nThere is bench seating around the labyrinth to enjoy the ambiance\, or feel free to bring your own chair to enjoy the beauty of the evening. \nWe also have finger labyrinths for anyone with limited mobility who would also like to join us and experience the peaceful evening. \nThis is a weather-depending event and will be cancelled if it rains. \nThe summer solstice for 2025 will occur at 10:41 pm EST on Friday\, June 20. \nAny questions\, please reach out to Jen Bratka – JBratka@FCchurch.com.
