That’s the sacred intent of life, of God—to move us continuously toward growth, toward recovering all that is lost and orphaned within us and restoring the divine image imprinted on our soul.

God beyond all names, words, time...
All around us we have known you, all creation lives to hold you. In our living and our dying we are bringing you to birth.
God, beyond all words, all creation tells your story; you have shaken with our laughter, you have trembled with our tears.
God, beyond all time, you are laboring within us; we are moving, we are changing in your spirit ever new.
God, beyond our dreams, you have stirred in us a memory; you have placed your powerful spirit in the hears of humankind.
God of tender care, you have cradled us in goodness, you have mothered us in wholeness, you have loved us into birth.
God beyond all names, words, time... All around us we have known you, all creation lives to hold you. In our living and our dying we are bringing you to birth.

“This magnificent refuge is inside you. Enter. Shatter the darkness that shrouds the doorway... Be bold. Be humble. Put away the incense and forget the incantations they taught you. Ask no permission from the authorities. Slip away. Close your eyes and follow your breath to the still place that leads to the invisible path that leads you home.”
―Mirabai Starr, The Interior Castle

9AM to Noon
Wilderness or Wonderment? Using the Labyrinth to Refresh the Spirit and Nourish the Soul
Walking the labyrinth, or using a hand-held one, can help us quiet our minds so we can listen to our hearts. It helps us find our natural pace and allows us to enter the “in-between” world where insights flow, intentions are renewed, and a bigger picture of one’s life is nurtured.
The virtual labyrinth experience will offer reflection, a hand-held labyrinth meditation, storytelling and a time to be together in community. Bring a hand-held labyrinth or click here to print one from CCSV's website. The online app Labyrinth Journeys is also excellent.
