A-MAZE-ing Labyrinths
Program runs January 1, 2024 - December 31, 2026. Redeem completed books by December 31, 2027. A-MAZE-ING LABYRINTHS is a play on words: labyrinths are not mazes. Labyrinths are unicursal, meaning one walks in and out on the same path. A labyrinth is an ancient symbol of wholeness. The meditative properties of walking a labyrinth may help one to self-reflect, offer quieting of the mind & spirit, enhance creativity and reduce stress. Labyrinths are indeed a-maze-ing! This special program offers opportunities for meditative moments by walking labyrinths. An event must go by a labyrinth (or a maze) to qualify. Complete 14 qualifying events to receive an embroidered patch of a classic unicursal labyrinth. A qualifying stamp shall only be used once per year per qualifier but may be repeated in a different year. If an event has more than one labyrinth on the event route, the stamp may be used again, if paid for and walked a separate time for each qualifier.
For trail planning, labyrinths may be found on the following labyrinth locator website. However, qualifiers are not required to be listed on this locator and not all labyrinths on this locator are found on AVA event routes. https://labyrinthlocator.com/locate-a-labyrinth. For general information on labyrinths these websites are a good start: https://labyrinthsociety.org/ and https://www.verywellfit.com/walking-the-labyrinth-3435825 There are also several YouTube videos on labyrinth walking.
