Pilgrimage: July Labyrinth Walk
Friday July 24th, 2026, 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Suggested Donation: $5
Facilitated by John Seryak, Shepherd’s Corner’s Labyrinth Keeper

Pilgrimage: A sacred journey to a holy place, undertaken for spiritual growth, healing, or devotion, often representing a transformative departure from daily life.
As a facilitator John encourages mindfulness when walking the labyrinth. Mindful of each breath, each step and one’s surroundings. The labyrinth often is understood as a metaphor for life or a pilgrimage. Each participant brings their unique life situation from which to gain insights and discern one’s place. John is a Dominican Associate and longtime caretaker of the labyrinths at Shepherd’s Corner. John embraces the walking of the labyrinth as a prayer experience that benefits the participant’s spiritual journey in life.

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.
