Community Resilience Hosts Labyrinth Peace Walk

Alexandria Community Resilience will host a Labyrinth Peace Walk on Thursday, Sept. 11 at Ben Brenman Park, 5000 Duke St., from 11 a.m. until 7 p.m. The Peace Walk commemorates the second anniversary of the terrorist attacks. Rain location is the Nannie J. Lee Recreation Center, 1108 Jefferson St.

Labyrinths are patterns offering participants a chance to take “time out” from busy schedules and stress. The labyrinth allows participants to reflect on change of direction, transition, uncertainty, discovery, and achievement. Among the responses some people report from walking labyrinths are insight and creative ideas, relaxation and stress release, happiness and balance.

Walking the labyrinth will take a minimum of 15 minutes. For more information, contact Tricia Bassing at 703.838.6400.
