Labyrinth Walk

Labyrinths have been used for centuries as a form of walking meditation and a mindfulness tool. While labyrinths may look like a maze, there is only one way in and one way out.

Join us as we teach students about mindfulness and experience walking a labyrinth to calm the mind and reduce stress.
