Labyrinths: Pathways to Peace
Speaker:  Lisa Gidlow Moriarty, Spiritual Director, Artist, Designer, Master Labyrinth Maker, Past President, International Labyrinth Society

How is it that walking a labyrinth can bring peace of mind?  Lisa Moriarty answers:  “Labyrinth walking can provide a sense of calm that is conducive to meditation and self-exploration. Thousands of years old, these patterns speak to us today. Our culture is so steeped in rapid stimulation, information, and technology that we yearn for places of quiet introspection and release. Labyrinths provide that well of solace where we can go to drink deeply.” Moriarty will present a brief history of labyrinths and discuss contemporary uses and applications.
