Weekly Lunchtime Labyrinth Walk
Come and enjoy an intentional pause in the middle of your week. We’ll meet on the outdoor labyrinth (weather permitting) and engage in walking meditation at our own pace. No prior experience with the labyrinth or walking meditation necessary. If the weather makes being outdoors uncomfortable, we will gather in the sanctuary and enjoy the silence. Come and go as suits your needs. This class is a prefect prelude to Rev. Erik’s Wednesday Wonderings which begins at 12:15.
Leader: Leia Durland-Jones
Leia is TJMC’s Director of Religious Education and a labyrinth enthusiast. She enjoys helping others connect with the labyrinth as an ancient tool for spiritual and personal deepening.

Wednesday Wonderings
Rev. Erik will facilitate this weekly drop-in program which will consist of encounters with some of the great mystics of the Christian traditions. Each week we will read together some texts that illuminate a particular mystic’s primary concerns and approach, and then discuss how we react to what we have read. Come when you can, leave when you need to, bring your lunch, and keep your mind and heart open. If you like, join us on the outdoor labyrinth just prior to class (11:45 AM) for walking meditation.
Leader: Erik Walker Wikstrom
