Details of this retreat
Step into a sacred journey where every turn leads you deeper into peace, presence, and wonder.
At Walking in Peace – A Labyrinth Experience, you are invited to enter an ancient path of reflection and renewal, where each step becomes a quiet invitation to listen, to let go, and to discover peace in a deeper way.
The sacred labyrinth, used across cultures and faith traditions for more than 4,000 years, invites you into a journey where every step becomes prayer. With its single winding path, the labyrinth offers a simple but profound truth: the way in is the way out, and the journey itself becomes the gift.
Led by Veriditas Certified Facilitator Cathy Rigali, this eco-spiritual experience creates space for stillness, insight, and transformation. As you walk, you are invited to release anxiety, open your heart, and listen more deeply; to yourself, to others, and to the Spirit moving through all creation. This is more than a program; it is an invitation to rediscover peace as a living practice.
In a world marked by division, urgency, and noise, the labyrinth offers a countercultural rhythm of hope. Come and be refreshed, inspired, and renewed through this meaningful journey toward compassion, connection, and a more peaceful world.
