A dedication for the new Alma Labyrinth and Memorial Arboretum in Wallace Cumming Park, will be a part of World Labyrinth Day on May 3.
The dedication will take place at the park, located on the Alma Community Hall grounds at 12:30pm.
Participants are invited to “Walk as One” at 1pm as part of World Labyrinth Day, joining others around the globe “to create a wave of peaceful energy washing across the time zones.”
A labyrinth is an ancient symbol combining the imagery of a circle and a spiral into a meandering but purposeful path. Labyrinths represent a journey and have long been used for as tools for meditation and prayer.
Labyrinths and mazes have often been confused. A maze is a puzzle to be solved. A Labyrinth has only one path that provides a winding route to the centre and out again.
There are 175 labyrinths listed in the Ontario Labyrinth Community Network. Neighbouring communities that have labyrinths named in the locator list include: Clifford, Fergus, Guelph, Hillsburgh, Kitchener, Mount Forest, Orangeville and Waterloo.
World Labyrinth Day is celebrated every year on the first Saturday in May.
