First Universalist Church of Minneapolis

As of February 2005, we have a 36 foot Chartres-style labyrinth etched in the floor of the social hall (lower level). It serves as a tool for meditation, reflection, and celebration. The Labyrinth Committee serves First Universalist Church and the larger community with imagination and dignity. Through our open walks, special events, retreats, and rentals, we seek to introduce the labyrinth to newcomers and to enrich the experience of those who use the labyrinth as a spiritual practice. Adults and children alike are welcome to explore the sacred path and reach the still small voice inside the center. We also have a labyrinth fingerboard for those who are unable to walk or prefer a seated meditation.

A 36-foot canvas labyrinth is available for rental and comes with instructions and support materials for its use for open walks, special events, and retreats. For rental information contact Rev. Barbara Kellett, 651-636-8419.

The First Universalist Labyrinth has been featured in the Minneapolis Star Tribune and the St. Paul Pioneer Press

Members of the committee are active in a local labyrinth facilitators network, sharing ideas with others who, like us, are captivated by the use of the labyrinth as a spiritual tool.   We support the work of other labyrinth projects, such as the Labyrinth Peace Garden at Columbine UU in Colorado, and the recent labyrinth exhibit on the lawn of the US Capitol.

It has been said that the labyrinth is where the earth and the cosmos come together.  The members of the Labyrinth Committee offer ourselves as facilitators of this union, as guides and friends along the path, as seekers coming in and going out.  Church members and friends are invited to join this special ministry and share your talents with us.  All are welcome, and you can't do it wrong.
