World Labyrinth Day at First UMC Santa Monica

First UMC Santa Monica, with The Labyrinth Society, will celebrate World Labyrinth Day with opportunities for people of all ages to engage the Labyrinth in Simkins Hall. From 1 – 3 p.m., we will host our customary quiet hours for walking and praying. Resources to draw your own labyrinth will also be available. Every year, World Labyrinth Day is celebrated by thousands of people around the globe. We join this community in a moving meditation for world peace and to celebrate the labyrinth experience.

Labyrinths are ancient symbols of wholeness, combining the circle and spiral into a single path of reflection and meaning. The Labyrinth laid in the Simkins Hall floor of First UMC Santa Monica is a replica of the Chartres Labyrinth laid in the cathedral around 1220 CE. Walking the Labyrinth is an ancient spiritual practice, a way to quiet our minds and open our spirits to the presence of the Holy. Every step a prayer.
