Labyrinth Walk of Giving Thanks ~ Food for the Body & Soul
Join us in Chase Park Chatham on Sunday, November 17th at 2:00 pm for the Labyrinth Walk of Giving Thanks!
Please bring non-perishable food to place on the path as you walk. Our goal is to line the entire path with food which will then be shared with the larger community through the local Food Bank. This is the 9th year that Center for the Spiritual Journey has sponsored this opportunity for the community to come together in solidarity with all who are hungry in body and soul.
** Please consider dropping off your donated food items at the Center for the Spiritual Journey, 880 Main St (at Munson Meeting Way), Chatham during the week. We will have our doors open from 11-4 on Thursday to receive food donations Also, please feel free to leave food donations in the bin outside our door and we will deliver them to the Food Bank after the Labyrinth Walk. Many thanks!
The Labyrinth is located off Shattuck Place beyond the Gristmill in Chase Park, Chatham. The walk will be cancelled in the event of rain. There is ample parking, and all are welcome! There is a handicap-accessible walkway from the parking lot.
Visit the Chatham Labyrinth!

What is a Labyrinth?
For thousands of years, labyrinths have been a part of our artistic and spiritual landscape. A labyrinth is an ancient circular pattern, perhaps derived from nature, with a single winding path that provides a meditative walk to the center and back out again. It is not a maze. There are no tricks or dead ends. It is one continuous path.
Labyrinths are often thought to symbolize our journey through life and are a spiritual tool open to all people everywhere. They offer a quiet and meditative place to be still, and can often be a unifying and healing experience.
The pattern has been walked by millions of people of all cultures for many reasons. It is a sacred place set aside for personal reflection, looking within, listening to our intuitive selves and recovering our imaginations. The rhythm of walking, placing one foot in front of the other, helps empty the monkey mind that so many of us experience in contemporary culture. Walking the labyrinth relaxes the body and refreshes the spirit.
