BRUNSWICK — First Parish Church, UCC, will open its labyrinth to the community on Tuesday, Oct. 29, from noon to 8 p.m.
This month, the focus is on walking a meditative path toward wholeness and healing, focusing not so much on physical cure, but rather on the larger concept of emotional and spiritual wholeness regardless of physical outcome, according to a news release from the church.
The 30-foot canvas labyrinth has a single pathway that leads to the center and back out again. Unlike a maze, which is intended to confuse us, the labyrinth has only one pathway that leads to the center and back out again. There are no choices to be made, allowing busy minds to rest and encouraging one’s spiritual nature.
Future dates for the 2013- 14 labyrinth season are Tuesdays, Dec. 3, Jan. 28, March 11 and Good Friday, April 18.
The labyrinth is located in Fellowship Hall of Pilgrim House at 9 Cleaveland St. (the brick building diagonally behind the church at the corner of Maine Street and Bath Road).
