May 1 is World Labyrinth Day.
World Labyrinth Day (WLD) is an annual event sponsored by The Labyrinth Society (TLS). Every year on the first Saturday in May thousands of people around the world participate in this moving meditation for world peace.
The intention of WLD is to bring people from all over the planet together in celebration of labyrinths as a symbol, tool, passion, or practice. WLD is an opportunity to inform and educate the public, host walks, build permanent and temporary labyrinths, make labyrinth art, or explore the archetype in other ways. At the suggestion of Lynda Tourloukis, participants are encouraged to “Walk as One at 1” in the afternoon to create a wave of peaceful energy around our planet as it turns in space.
As an avid walker of labyrinths, I intend to walk a local labyrinth in the nearby regional town of Kyogle in NSW, Australia; a labyrinth I have previously enjoyed walking.
