Earth Day Celebration Labyrinth Walk and Gong Song

Tuesday, April 22, 2025
5:30 - 7:30 p.m.

We often forget that the planet we are living on has given us all the elements that make up our bodies. The water in our flesh, our bones, and all the microscopic cells inside our bodies all come from the earth and are part of the earth. The earth is not just the environment we live in. We are the earth, and we are always carrying it within us.  

As we mindfully walk on the labyrinth we can send our love to the earth with every step. How do we do this? There are many ways. When we practice beautifully walking the path, we massage the earth with our feet and plant seeds of joy with each step. We can visualize flowers blooming under each step the moment our foot touches the ground, leaving behind beautiful fields of flowers everywhere we walk. Imagine kissing the earth with your feet. The possibilities are endless!

To further enhance the experience, you will be walking among the mysterious sounds and vibrations of Gongs, Singing Bowls and other metal instruments. This is a great visceral reminder that everything in the universe is vibrating, and the vibrations we send out affect the whole.  

Sending this blessing in community reminds us of our powerful connection to each other and to the earth. Even though the labyrinth at St. Paul’s is indoors, we can still feel the connection to the earth beneath the floor. I hope you will join us on this special day!

Come to the Parish Hall between 5:30 and 7:00 pm. Being fashionably late will help create a more spacious walk. It takes about 30 minutes to complete the walk. Chairs will be available for you to sit and enjoy!

Blessings,

Mary Miller and Jamie White
