We invite you to come and join us at 1pm on Saturday 3rd May 2025, to walk the Norton Priory Labyrinth out on the cloister, as part of the seventeenth annual World Labyrinth Day’s meditation for peace.  The walk will be led by our resident mindfulness practitioner Mima Cornish of Hedgerose Healing.  Whether you are familiar with labyrinths or new to the idea of non-maze labyrinth paths, all are welcome to learn more and take part.

Many participants will “Walk as One at 1” by walking a labyrinth at 1:00 p.m. local time to create a rolling wave of peaceful energy passing from one time zone to the next around the globe. There will be individual walks, local community celebrations, and worldwide connections through online events and social media.   

World Labyrinth Day is an international event held on the first Saturday each May, sponsored by The Labyrinth Society in collaboration with partner organizations including the Australian Labyrinth Network, Legacy Labyrinth Project, and Veriditas.  The first World Labyrinth Day was celebrated in 2009 and included events in New Zealand, Hong Kong, the United States, and many other locations. Visit worldlabyrinthday.org for more information, resources, and ways to participate.

Labyrinths are found throughout the world with the oldest dating back thousands of years. In contemporary use, labyrinths provide an opportunity for personal reflection, spiritual practice, or the reduction of stress in many different public and private settings. Over 6,000 labyrinths are listed on the World-Wide Labyrinth Locator website: labyrinthlocator.com.

This is a Discover Norton event and is included with general admission.  Book online ahead of time for a discount! Pre-booking closes at 11:45 the night before your visit. But if you miss out, you can pay for General Admission on arrival.

Participants can meet in the atrium from 12.45pm before going out to the labyrinth. 

The Wheel of the Year turns once more and we find ourselves at Summer Solstice. Come and join us as we give gratitude to the Sun for all that they give us on this, the longest day. With meditation and reflective moments with Mima Cornish of HedgeRose Healing, and immersive circle dancing from Myrriadd Dance, we will share this wonderful evening of celebration together. All folks booked are asked to send positive thoughts to the weather so we can be outdoors and enjoy the glorious environment of Norton Priory.
