We loved partnering with the amazing Andrew from Beach labyrinth to dig and create this beautiful labyrinth yesterday!
We gathered to pray for our community, to pray protection and joy over the Tunes in the Dunes music festival and welcomed people to have a go at walking the labyrinth prayer space as they passed.
What’s a labyrinth all about I hear you ask… people have been walking labyrinths for centuries, ancient monks would walk them as part of their spiritual journey, slowly making their way to the centre trying to let go of all the things that were distracting them from following God, having identified these things they would pause at the centre and pray, asking God’s help. As the journey back outward takes place they would focus on how they could make that change possible in their lives.
Yesterday as modern day monks (aka Jesus followers) we had a go at this ancient spiritual practice, taking rubbish from the beach with us into the centre, thinking of the things we need to clear out of our lives, leaving it at the foot of the cross in the middle and asking God to help us draw closer to him in pursuit of prayer, mission and justice. We took a stone from the centre back out with us to remind us that we have our feet set on a rock, and we decorated the stones to remind us that we have his light, joy and presence with us as we go out into our everyday!
Next time you see a labyrinth, maybe have a go at this ancient spiritual practice… try praying 🙌🏻
