Come and join a conversation about personal fasting experiences and understandings of this rich spiritual practice. Discover or rediscover that fasting is a practice with many benefits for our body, mind and soul.
“… fasting is a way of communication with God and a way of caring for God’s personal gift to us – ourselves.” … Pat Dominic in the book Fasting Rediscovered by Thomas Ryan.

Growing Quiet: October Labyrinth Walk

Suggested Donation: $5
Facilitated by Joy Lawrence, LMT & yoga instructor.

As nature grows quiet, celebrate the Autumn within the labyrinth.
Using yoga and breath work, we will focus on this introspective time of year.

Labyrinth walks are times for quiet reflection. Due to their nature, silent walking is encouraged. Our labyrinth is located on Wengert Road, at the second drive to the right. Please wear comfortable shoes. Everyone is welcome! No previous meditation experience or experience walking labyrinths is required.
