Tranquil Pathways of Siouxland

Celebrate the lengthening of days and the increasing of light on the labyrinth at St. Thomas Episcopal Church from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 22. The solstice is often a time when "the dark night of the soul" is a potent focus for those who are grieving during the holiday season; but it is also a time of hope as the earth begins to tilt back toward the sun. All are welcome to explore that shift of perspectives in a choral reading, music, art, and of course walking the labyrinth.

If you've only ever walked the labyrinth in a group, Monday nights at St. Thomas are a great time to experience time alone on the labyrinth. People come and go between 6 and 8 p.m., and there are plenty of opportunities for solo walks.

Not sure how to approach the labyrinth alone? We have a deck of intention cards that can help you find a focus. Choose one that speaks to you or take a random card.

See you tonight!

Fall equinox labyrinth walk
6:30 p.m., Monday, Sept 22nd
St. Thomas Episcopal Church, 1200 Douglas St, Sioux City

The equinox is a great opportunity for reflecting on the in-between moments and spaces in your life, honoring the transitions and turning points, and celebrating the change in seasons.

It may also be a time for cooling the intensity of summer, both literally and figuratively, and letting the labyrinth be your safe space for processing the challenging time in which we live.

As always, there will be music, time for sharing, and art-making. All are welcome.

The patron saint of contemplative life would surely be glad for a labyrinth walk on the eve of her feast day! Come to St. Thomas Episcopal Church at 6 p.m. on Monday, July 21, to celebrate the life of Mary Magdalene.

Known in multiple Christian traditions as "an apostle to the apostles," Mary was a devoted disciple of Jesus and the first witness to the resurrection, representing a feminine strain of spirituality that was often ignored or repressed in the male-dominated Church. Even many people outside the Christian faith are fascinated by the legends that have endured about this extraordinary woman.

We will explore some of the traditions and stories of her life, walk the labyrinth, and make expressive art to honor her memory and ongoing inspiration. Please join us to learn, to create, and of course to walk together.

For those in the Sioux City area:

Experience a fresh new way to mark the days of Advent this year along with the St. Thomas labyrinth team. We are offering a free Advent packet filled with a variety of contemplative tools: a journal, art supplies, and a finger labyrinth. A daily prompt will be provided to explore through writing, artwork, or meditative use of the labyrinth, all on your own schedule at home.

Participants are also invited to gather 3 times during the Advent season:

Saturday, Dec. 7th, 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. at St. Thomas -- an in-depth exploration of finger labyrinths of all sizes, shapes, and materials. Wood, paper, cloth, ceramic, and more -- discover what helps you best to "pray with your hands."

Thursday, Dec. 12th, 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Zoom -- An online guided finger labyrinth meditation, with time for sharing and reflecting together.

Saturday, Dec. 21st, 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. at St. Thomas -- Candlelit walk on the floor labyrinth as we enter the longest night of the year and the final few days of the Advent journey.
