Thanks to all the youth and adults who helped out this past Tuesday at MTG.  And a HUGE thanks to everyone who came out to support us.  We love and appreciate you!!!   I have to say that it was one of the most enjoyable fund-raisers I’ve ever done.  We made $460.00.  Not bad for 4 hours work.  The next one is Tuesday, June 8th.  Don’t miss it!

HUMYF Labyrinth/Prayer Path

admin On March - 9 - 2010ADD COMMENTS

Make a reservation for the HUMYF Labyrinth and Prayer Path!

HUMYF Labyrinth:

Schedule:

  • Maundy Thursday, April 1st:  Noon-6:00pm
  • Good Friday, April 2nd: Noon-7:00pm
  • Saturday, April 3rd: Noon-8:00pm


What is the Labyrinth?

  • Labyrinth is an interactive installation for spiritual journeys. It’s for anyone who wants a break from surfing the surface of culture to contemplate the deeper things of life.
  • Labyrinth reshapes a 12th-century ritual for the 21st century. Its maze-like path takes you on a symbolic journey, creates space to unwind and think – in particular about our relationships with ourselves, one another, our planet and God.
  • Designed for young and old alike, it provides a mixture of rituals and visuals, of contemplative words and contemporary ambient music, of symbols and media to help guide the spiritual traveller.
  • The path has three stages – the ‘inward’ journey, the centre and the ‘outward’ journey. The theme of the ‘inward’ journey is letting go of things which hinder our wholeness and inner approach to God. The centre of the Labyrinth is a space of meditative prayer and peace. The theme of the ‘outward’ journey is relationship – with ourselves, with others and with the planet – seen in the light of our relationship with God.
