Prepare for labor with a ritual walk through the labyrinth...

Join childbirth educator Jane Austin and the midwives of the Bay Area Homebirth Collective at Grace Cathedral’s Chartres-style labyrinth on the 3rd Thursday of every month. We’ll gather at 11:45 am and begin walking at noon as the bells start to ring.

This is a time for quiet reflection, and a chance to put aside all the thoughts and chatter that busy our minds and distract us from connecting to our authentic selves.

Walking the labyrinth is an ideal way to actively meditate during pregnancy, and another step in preparing for birth.

All are welcome to this free event.

labyrinth


As people tread through the turns and counterturns of the labyrinth, the world begins to drop away. Walking, breathing, being - things that we never think about in the day-to-day whirl of life become conscious and deliberate. The spiritual and physical merge into a walking meditation. Our pace becomes a background rhythm against which we are able to clear our minds. As one moves toward the center, one senses one is approaching a spiritual center as well. Intuition deepens. Healing occurs. Some say they hear the voice of their own truth, experience guidance, or feel a sense of grace or transcendence. Some feel they have brushed against the Eternal, or touched the Divine.

- Helen Curry, The Way of the Labyrinth
