EQUINOX: Celebration at labyrinth practiced social distancing Continued from page 3 Marveling at the beauty of the first day of spring, the walk- ers offered each other <air hugs= before wending their way back to the labyrinth9s entrance. Jan McGowan, member of the Sisters Community Labyrinth Committee at Sisters Park & Recreation District, had sent out the announcement that the equi- nox walk would not be canceled. <This is an outdoor event and we are asking people to maintain a safe, six-foot dis- tance from one another,= she wrote. McGowan noted, <If you prefer not to attend a gather- ing this week, feel welcome to visit the labyrinth anytime on your own. It is always open and usually empty& the labyrinth is always there for your use, and walking it pro- motes relaxation, meditation, and reflection.
