All are welcome to come to a night labyrinth walk. The labyrinth is an ancient
way of prayer and meditation and centering your spiritual journey. It is not a
maze, but a journey into the center and back out. Our outdoor labyrinth is open
to all at any time. Come experience a new kind of praying and connecting with
yourself and with God. At St. Aidan's Episcopal Church and Canterbury Colorado
(across from CU Engineering).
