Saturday, May 4, is World Labyrinth Day! Come celebrate this peaceful holiday at Earle Baum Center of the Blind (EBC) in Santa Rosa. We invite the BVI community to enjoy EBC’s uniquely accessible Labyrinth, specifically designed by EBC staffer, Patricia Jefferson, to accommodate travelers using white canes, guide dogs, human guides and most wheelchairs. The path is a 39-inch-wide smooth concrete surface with a four-inch brick curb. In the center there is a Peace Pole as part of the right-side curb to orient the travelers.
 
The walk will be procession-style and there will be guides provided if assistance is needed. Join us for this meditative, peaceful gathering as our community walks together as one!

What is a Labyrinth?
 
A Labyrinth is an intricate network of passages or paths in which it can be difficult to navigate upon first observation. They are typically formed as a circle with a singular path leading to the center, almost like a maze. The practice of designing and walking Labyrinths is an ancient spiritual tool meant to foster contemplation, spiritual transformation, and philosophical ideals. Many find inner peace and solace while walking a Labyrinth, leaving their worries outside the paths and letting their mind and bodies wander freely through the Labyrinth.
