Ring in the New Year – Indoor Labyrinth Walk in Milwaukee
Saturday, January 3 - 10 am to noon
Mt. Carmel Lutheran Church, 8424 W. Center St., Milwaukee, WI
The first days of the New Year are a good time to reflect on our lives, and walking a labyrinth is a great way to do it. To add to our labyrinth experience, we will place some small, lovely bells at certain turning points within the labyrinth. In keeping with the time-tested tradition of “ringing in the New Year,” you’ll be able to give one or more of the bells a gentle jingle as you walk.
Ringing bells and bell sounds have other meanings as well, including spiritual awakening and transformation. We’ll share more as we gather before the walk.
Note: This is not a drop-in event, and RSVP’s are requested via the Facebook event listing or reply via email if you’re on our list. Thanks - hope to see you there!
