You are invited to participate in an upcoming global event with the intention of spreading the healing benefits of the labyrinth. We hope you'll join us for this second annual celebration of World Labyrinth Day on May 1st, 2010.

Last year, a variety of events were held at over 100 locations worldwide, including the Ellipse in Washington, D.C., churches, and even a prison. Countries joining the celebration included: the United States, Canada, England, New Zealand, China, South Africa, and Australia.

World Labyrinth Day is a wonderful opportunity for global community building and celebration, as we join with others around the world, walking the path of the labyrinth.

Think Globally, Act Locally - 'Walk as One at 1'

Once again there is an invitation to ‘Walk As One at 1’ in an attempt to create a wave of peaceful energy moving around the planet. To participate, people are invited to walk a labyrinth at 1:00 P.M. in their local time zone. While large group events are planned, no event is too small. Individuals who wish to participate may use a finger labyrinth in the comfort of their home. No event is too small.

Spread the Word

This project is an excellent opportunity to introduce and promote the use of labyrinths as a path of peace. There are many ways you can help spread the word. Here are a few examples: Post WLD flyers in your community. Send an announcement to your email address book. Post a link on Facebook or Twitter. Write an article for your local paper. Check out the resources on the TLS website.

Share Your Story

Just as there are only right ways to walk a labyrinth, there are many ways to celebrate World Labyrinth Day. We hope you will share your WLD story with a brief account and pictures. Submit these to Stephanie Blackton, WLD Coordinator.

Research

If you are sponsoring/facilitating a labyrinth walk on World Labyrinth Day, you are invited to participate in an ongoing research study by using the Labyrinth Walk Questionnaire at your event. The questionnaire is non-intrusive. Participants are simply invited to complete the short questionnaire after they conclude a labyrinth walk. The Labyrinth Walk Questionnaire and full instructions are available for download on the Research Resources page of The Labyrinth Society website.
