Previous musical experience is helpful, but not required – We train beginners!

The Labyrinth
In memory of Lorraine Sprout
The labyrinth is found in the south lawn. The stones outline the grassed path that you can walk.
Your life is a sacred journey.
A Labyrinth is an ancient pattern found in cultures around the world to symbolize wholeness. it combines the imagery of the circle and spiral into a meandering but purposeful path as a meditation or prayer tool.
A Labyrinth is not a maze. it is a path, not a puzzle. There are no tricks and no dead ends. A sing circuitous path winds into the center. The same path then lead the way out. There is only one choice to be made: to enter or not.
A Labyrinth is a model of that journey to the center of your deepest self and back out into the world with a broadened understanding of who you are, a greater sense of inner peace, and refreshed energy.
Release your concerns and stresses on the way in.
Receive a blessing in the center at the core of your being.
