Walk a labyrinth in Belfast

Saturday, May 7—Belfast

Did you know that Belfast has a 30-foot diameter, ADA-accessible paved labyrinth on the Belfast Common? Well, I’m not going to talk in circles, but Saturday happens to be World Labyrinth Day. Every year on the first Saturday in May, thousands of people around the world participate in this moving meditation for world peace and celebration and to “walk as one.” To celebrate, people are invited to walk Belfast’s labyrinth at 1 p.m. Maine-based labyrinth designer and researcher Yadina Clark will be on hand to talk about the local event.
