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. Enjoy!=
S i s t e r s C o m m u n i t y
