We’ll gather at 9:00 a.m. to “build” several labyrinths—one from rope, another on the paving, and hopefully one with PUMPKINS! Please come join in the fun. We will also have on-going labyrinth activities in the Community Room at the Library until 4pm (see below) —when the entire MBS Event will close with a Community Drum Circle in the same room. (side entrance only) HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!
An Advent Labyrinth Walk to the Light
Join us Saturday, December 1, 9am to 12:30pm

On this first Saturday in Advent, we will take time in community to prepare ourselves for the busy season ahead and help set its pace and its tone. Using the walk as a metaphor for our Christian Journey, we will empty our hearts of any burdens and concerns to make room in our hearts for the light of Christ. Come take the journey with me and let us renew ourselves in the Light of Christ as it guides us on toward Christmas."
- Donna Hawkins

An invitation from WWLN member Mary Ellen Johnson
Dear Friends,
Thanksgiving has passed, and it is not quite December – a bit of an in-between time where we can find some time to ground ourselves in the moment before the Christmas rush begins. Please come to join me in walking the labyrinth Wednesday evening, November 29th at 7 pm. Especially in these turbulent times, it is essential to ground ourselves in our hopes and dreams, to remind ourselves that Life is ever unfolding, and that the Universe conspires for our Good. We will spend an evening together reconnecting to our heart’s desires for our lives.
I will give a short talk, answer any questions that arise, and then we will walk the labyrinth together.
The address of the church is 233 S 156th St, Burien, WA 98148
Feel free to bring a friend - I do hope you can see your way clear to come!
My best,
Mary Ellen

Wed evening, August 30th at 7 pm.
Writes facilitator Mary Ellen Johnson, "I will give a short talk on what I have come to learn about Intuition from my studies, my personal experience, and the experiences of people who have shared their stories with me." Especially in these turbulent times, it is essential to ground ourselves, to be reminded of the truth - that our internal compass, our intuition, is the voice of Spirit that unfailingly guides us. We will spend an evening together reconnecting to our intuition, deepening our ability to discern it, trust it, and act upon it. The address of the church is: 233 S 156th St, Burien, WA 98148. Feel free to bring a friend.
NB: As as first step toward re-establishing the mown grass design, the labyrinth currently exists in red flagging tape, same 45-ft diameter pattern.

One of my favorite things to do is to share the experience of walking the labyrinth.

I’ll give a short lecture, answer any questions that arise, and then we will walk the labyrinth together. The address of the church is 233 S 156th St, Burien, WA 98148. Feel free to bring a friend - I do hope you can see your way clear to come!

Join a distanced and masked outdoor open house celebrating this ancient spiritual practice. Folks are invited to walk a labyrinth, visit labyrinth activity stations, and to join into a community reflection together at 8:30.

Four years ago in Myra Ryneheart Corcorran's examiner.com article, Seattle Center Communications Director Deborah Daust was quoted, “The concept for the labyrinth…was to activate the space with free activities for the public especially children." With the Artists at Play Opening Event scheduled for May 22nd--and a fresh coat of paint for the labyrinth accompanying the opening of a new imaginiative, artist-created playground--this statement holds true.
Enjoy the Solstice and Father's Day and help celebrate the 5 year anniversary of the Fairhaven Labyrinth in Fairhaven Park (107 Chuckanut Drive, Bellingham), from noon to 3 PM, Sunday June 21st. Project Labyrinth is a local group, successful in creating the first public labyrinth in Whatcom County with private funds. There will be live music while you walk the labyrinth, which is by the upper parking lot at Fairhaven Park. This is an all-ages, FREE event. More info: (360) 410-9228
