Winter Solstice Labyrinth Walk

December 21 from 5:00pm - 6:30pm

Mark the longest night of the year with a quiet candlelight experience. When you arrive, you will be given a lantern to carry and brief introduction to the labyrinth. Then follow the path lit by vintage kerosene lanterns up to the labyrinth for a meditative walk at your own pace. A bonfire in the centre offers an opportunity to pause and collect your thoughts or warm your hands.    

This is the perfect time to consider themes of light and darkness, or mark the end of one year and the beginning of another. Because it is all outdoors, be sure to dress for the weather. Sturdy footwear is also recommended. 

Please park in the large Conference Hall parking lot. No registration is required. Suggested donation $10 per person which can be offered through cash or etransfer to accounting(@)crieffhills.com
