I'll have signed copies of my labyrinth workbook and journal available for purchase Friday at the labyrinth walk. These make great gifts for those that like to journal and love labyrinths. You'll also learn a little about the history, types, and uses of labyrinths.

$10 Cash or Venmo.

We needed to reschedule the November labyrinth walk to this Friday November 14th at 6 pm. I hope you'll join us!

The evening walks are always a favorite for the community. The lights will be on around the labyrinth creating the perfect ambience in this thin place for going within. If you've been to a dusk/evening walk you know how special these are.

These are free events open to everyone. The labyrinth walk for some is a contemplative spiritual practice and for others it is a prayer path. Perhaps this time of year it could be a walk of gratitude. There are many reasons people come to walk. The group energy, love, and presence always add to the experience. The labyrinth as a participant once said is a benign looking space but quietly powerful - especially when we are all together walking in silence.

The monthly walks are facilitated by yours truly here and graciously hosted by St. Francis Episcopal Church at their beautiful labyrinth.

I am back after spending three weeks in Scotland!! I finally got to see and walk the labyrinth at Findhorn this time. Love the natural beach washed up stones used to outline the path. A very special feeling at this one!

I'm taking a little break to reflect and connect back in. I will respond to messages and emails when I'm back on social in November.

There will be a monthly Labyrinth walk November 8th at 10am at St. Francis by the Sea. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again then.

Since the evening labyrinth walk last week was cancelled due to the rain, I'll be scheduling a second walk in mid to late November mid-week one evening. I know the dusk time is a favorite for a group walk. I'll announce the date for that when I am back online.

Deep gratitude to everyone who joined the Labyrinth Walk yesterday. This marks the beginning of the third year I've had the honor of facilitating these free community gatherings.

After a summer break, it was powerful to witness 14 unique souls walking the path together this morning. It’s always lovely to welcome back familiar faces & to share the experience with new ones. Thank you to those who invited friends this time!

As a facilitator, I don’t walk the labyrinth with the group. For the first time while watching, I noticed a big energetic shift when everyone was on it together & after when the labyrinth stood still surrounded by silent reflection. It truly loves to be walked.

Thank you to St. Francis Episcopal Church for your ongoing support & for providing the mic & beautiful meditation music today. In the past, we’ve had a live guitarist, but this was our first time with soft music mixed with nature & the birds singing. The music created an even more serene & sacred atmosphere. While I’m not a member, I’m deeply grateful for the church’s collaboration & belief in what I bring to offer others on their spiritual journey.

Some reflections from today’s walk that may resonate from participants:

🌗 Light & Shadow on the Path just like in life. The sunlight filtering through the trees mirrored the sacred symbolism of the “Man in the Maze” labyrinth design from the Tohono O'odham people I show an example of. The path guiding us through life’s twists & turns, light & dark, toward wisdom & balance.

🪷 Giving to Receive. At the St. Francis Labyrinth, walkers are invited to carry & release a shell in the center. One participant beautifully reflected on the power of letting go to receive. (The 4 R’s map of labyrinth walking usually has releasing along the walk & receiving in the center.)

🤝 We Are Not Alone. While walking alone has its power, walking together reminds us: we are each on our own journey, but we don’t have to walk it all alone. Support is here, if we’re open to it.

Thank you for showing up with open hearts & curiosity. I’m honored to walk this journey with you & deeply grateful for the wonderful people supporting it each step of the way. 🌿

Mark your calendar! 🗓

These free community walks are held at the labyrinth at St. Francis by the Sea Episcopal Church in Salter Path, NC and facilitated by Amanda Todd, Ph.D., a Veriditas-trained labyrinth facilitator.

Release things you have been holding onto. 🦋
Receive insights, messages, or inspiration. 💝
Return with what you need to move forward out into the world. 🌱

Walking the Labyrinth is a journey to your center. It's an archetype and metaphor for the journey of life we all share.

Each walk is different every time you step onto the path. 👣

Walking as a group is a different experience than walking the labyrinth by yourself. 🚶🏻‍♂️🚶🏻‍♀️🚶🏼🚶🏼‍♀️🚶🏽‍♂️

Both serve you in different ways.

After a pause over summer, the labyrinth walk free events will be starting back in September! Mark your calendars for September 6th at 10 am, October 8th at 7 pm and November 8th at 10 am. The walks usually take about 45-minutes.

Once a month we gather to learn about labyrinths and walk together on the labyrinth at St. Francis by the Sea in Salter Path.

It is a magical place. Intentionally created as a thin place in Celtic beliefs - a place where people have sensed the intersection of the sacred and secular, of heaven and earth - where the veil between the material and spiritual worlds are thin. If you've been here on your own before or attended one of the group walks, you probably have felt this.

It's physically in a beautiful and peaceful maritime setting. As one previous participant said the labyrinth is such a beautiful benign looking space - but oh so surprisingly powerful.

These are free events but we do ask that you RSVP by email or DM in the event we need to cancel or reschedule. To learn more visit https://sacredwayceremonies.com/sacred-walks
