The Fellowship has a 32-foot indoor labyrinth that is permanently inlaid in the sanctuary floor. This labyrinth is a Petite Chartres Labyrinth in the medieval style. Our indoor labyrinth is one of only two permanent indoor labyrinths in New York State!

What is a labyrinth? A labyrinth is not a maze. There are no wrong turns or dead ends. If you begin at the “mouth” or opening, and follow the path you will eventually reach the center. After remaining in the center for a while, you retrace your steps back to the opening. “Endings are also beginnings.”

What do I “do” on a labyrinth? Our labyrinth walks are facilitated by Linda Mikell who is certified by Veriditas, The Voice of the Labyrinth Movement, founded in 1966. Veriditas is a non-profit organization dedicated to introducing people to the healing, meditative powers of the labyrinth. Linda describes the ways to meditate on the way in, in the center and on the way out. Linda provides the atmosphere for quiet meditation and holds the sacred space at the entrance to the labyrinth. You walk to recorded music especially made for labyrinth walking. The evening labyrinth walk is usually lit with candles around its perimeter. After walking there is a sharing and a closing circle.

When are the walks? Every Thursday at 1:30 PM there is a facilitated labyrinth walk at the Fellowship. Once a month (on the second Tuesday) there is a facilitated evening walk held at 8:30 PM. You are welcome to come one half hour earlier, at 8:00 PM, when we have Tai Chi on the candlelit labyrinth. It’s meditative and peaceful.
