Learn to walk a labyrinth, write, dance and draw your way to the center of the winding path and back out again. Over three days, participants are invited to contribute to One Peace Labyrinth, a community-empowered labyrinth by artist Maia Scott in partnership with the Museum of Craft & Design, using materials provided by the library and facilitated by Scott.

Dating back to at least 2000 BCE, labyrinths cross many cultures throughout history. Today, many people walk labyrinths at parks, places of worship, healthcare facilities and even in their own yards. Unlike mazes that trick you with dead ends, the path of the labyrinth winds you to the center and back out again. Technically, you can't get lost unless you want to lose yourself in the serenity of contemplative movement.

Each day features a labyrinth workshop focused on Scott's favorite creative outlets: movement, mindfulness, writing and making art. During these sessions, Scott will guide participants through labyrinth-based meditative practices to generate creative flow and foster a sense of peacefulness. Each workshop will follow a similar flow by calling the circle with introductions, gentle warmup activities, creative prompts and an invitation to share with others. On Sunday, the Museum of Craft & Design will facilitate the Peaceful Palms Art Making Activity.

All ages, experience levels and abilities are welcome. Children under 14 must attend with an adult.
