4:30 pm at Sisters Community Labyrinth, East Portal, Sisters, OR

Winter Solstice Gathering with Silent Meditation Labyrinth Walk

People from all spiritual traditions and walks of life are invited to join in. The group asks that participants dress warmly, bring a flashlight, and optionally bring small battery-operated candles to help light the labyrinth paths. A warm beverage in a well-insulated vessel is a good idea, too.

A ceremonial circle starts at 4:30 pm, and walking begins at 4:45. Afterward, folks are welcome to sip their drinks around the fire. Sisters Community Labyrinth gatherings are typically 45-60 minutes long.

FAMILIES

Silent meditations are difficult to manage with young children in tow. Any families wishing to take part may contact New Oregon Arts and Letters by December 20. Email is preferred, to neworegonarts@gmail.com. Phoning is an option as well: (503) 997-0301. A separate, special walk will be scheduled earlier in the day for families if there is a need.

LOCATION

The labyrinth is located in East Portal on West Hood Avenue. East Portal is the US Forest Service site where Highway 20 and Highway 242 meet, roughly between BiMart and Les Schwab. This park-like area is generally closed and gated off in winter. Gates will be open for this Solstice event. For updates on restrooms and parking, please visit the event webpage at www.neworegon.org/events/wintersolstice2019 .

Co-presented by the Friends of the Labyrinth Committee at SPRD (a.k.a. the “Labyrinth Ladies”) and New Oregon Arts & Letters
