Celebrate Solstice: Labyrinth Workshop

Join in this Summer Solstice to the learn about healing power of labyrinths! Led by Athena Dugan, the Philadelphia representative of the international Labyrinth Society, this unique workshop will teach you the history and techniques of labyrinth making. Attendees will work together to make and walk an actual labyrinth in the grass!
Dating over 5000 years old, the earliest representations of labyrinths have been discovered in pottery shards and carvings in stone. Unlike a maze with many passages and dead ends designed to confuse you, the labyrinth is a unicursal path, a circuitous design that is walked and leads into the center and back out again to the entrance.
In celebration of the longest day and the shortest of night, we’ll create a temporary labyrinth in the park in honor to the earth. As the solstice sun sets, the group will walk the completed labyrinth, a transformational experience that can bring stress relief, support your health and healing, and ground you to the earth.
Labyrinths allow us to live in the moment by putting one foot in front of the other. Take your first step on this path by signing up for this special workshop!
