Emerson is creating a new labyrinth-walking group, which will visit one of Houston’s many wonderful labyrinths approximately once each quarter, as well as host on-site walks at Emerson.
Mark your calendar for Emerson’s not-quite-on-the equinox celebration of Spring on Saturday, April 12, at 10 a.m. Yes, it’s a couple of weeks after-the-fact, and here’s why:
Setting the stage, Emersonian Mary Fehr, a Certified Labyrinth Facilitator, will present an introduction to labyrinth-walking during the adult education session on Sunday, April 6, at 10 a.m. (in person or at https://emersonhouston.org/AdultLearners )She’ll explore the 4,000-year history of the labyrinth and its use today as a form of meditation, contemplation, and relaxation.
On April 12, we’ll meet at 9:30 a.m. at Faith Lutheran Church, 4600 Bellaire Blvd., (just east of 610) for our inaugural walk, followed by a casual lunch (optional) in the area.
Three more spring walks are scheduled on-site at Emerson on April 23, 30 and May 7.
In the meantime, if you want to learn more about labyrinth walking, the Emerson bookstore has copies of Walking the Sacred Path and The Sacred Path Companion, both by Lauren Artress, and The Way of the Labyrinth by Helen Curry. They provide helpful insightful on this ancient and powerful form of personal meditation and transformation.
