What is World Labyrinth Day?

 

World Labyrinth Day, an initiative of The Labyrinth Society, is a day designated to bring people from all over the world together to walk labyrinths.  It is celebrated every year on the first Saturday in May.  This is a day when people all over the world can join together to walk labyrinths for the good of all.

“Walk as One at 1”

 

 People are encouraged to have the main labyrinth walk of the day at 1 pm in every time zone to create a wave of labyrinth walking around our planet. 

 

In the past, a variety of events have been held at over 100 locations worldwide, including the Ellipse in Washington DC, public parks, churches, a maximum-security women’s prison, retreat centers and many private labyrinths. Countries joining the celebration include: the United States, Canada, England, Ireland, the Bahamas, France, Spain, the Netherlands, Germany, New Zealand, China, South Africa, Australia, and the list grows every year.

 

 

Wilson College Labyrinth will be a registered participant in World Labyrinth Day this year.
