World Labyrinth Day™ is an annual global event celebrated on the first Saturday in May. It is sponsored by The Labyrinth Society, an international organization founded in 1998.
The Labyrinth Society invites the world to "Walk as One at 1," and be part of a rolling wave of peaceful energy as the world turns. People worldwide are invited to walk a labyrinth at 1 pm in their local time zones, or as time allows. To participate locally, people are invited to walk one of Harmony Grove's labyrinths May 3rd.
People are invited to gather around Harmony Grove's outdoor labyrinth at 12:30 pm for a short introduction to the labyrinth and to the event. At 2:00 p.m., if enough people are present, participants will have the rare opportunity to learn the "Appleton," a fun, energetic double-line dance for the labyrinth. This dance was developed by Jon Appleton, an Englishman, who lives approximately 15 miles from Stonehenge..
