Ardantane

Labyrinth Day 2024
2024-10-12 09:00 - 16:00 (America/Denver) | Ardantane Campus, Jemez Pueblo, NM, 87025, United States
DATE CHANGED TO OCTOBER 12
From the island of Crete, to Britain, to Norway and the American Southwest, humans have created labyrinths for millennia. Now you can help build one too! Join us at Ardantane’s Labyrinth Day on Saturday, October 5 from 9am to 4 pm at the Ardantane Campus NW of Albuquerque.
Together we’ll explore the history and uses of labyrinths around the world, and how to design and draw one. Then we’ll actually build one: Ardantane’s third, in a unique design different from our first two.
The event is FREE of charge, and open to all adults, and teens accompanied by parents.
The schedule includes a workshop first thing; then we’ll move stones to the site and draw the design on the ground. After a lunch break, we’ll place stones to mark the path, then have a short ritual of dedication. Then… walk the new labyrinth and, if you wish, share your experience over a cold drink!
Every participant gets a free labyrinth emblem.
The lunch is potluck: bring a dish to share! During the rest of the day, refreshments and beverages will be provided by Ardantane. We have work gloves to loan. Please bring a sun hat and folding chair, if you have one.
Though there is no charge, for planning purposes we would love to know how many are coming. Contact info@ardantane.org with the number in your party, and to get directions. Thanks!
See you at the labyrinth!

Join Polaris for an online observance of Imbolc (or Candlemas), the celebration of the Celtic Goddess Brighid and the cross-quarter between the winter solstice and spring equinox. Help us celebrate the return of the growing season and the hope of surviving another winter. This is also a time when many pagans and Wiccans dedicate–to themselves, to their spiritual path, to each other.
Polaris is a third degree Wiccan Priestess in the Ladywoods Tradition and a Magister in the Order of Paladins. She has been drawn to the natural cycles of the world from a young age and a practicing Pagan since the early 1990s. As a business consultant in the mundane world, she integrates the natural cyclical energies into her work with clients, helping them utilize the prevailing energies and work with those flows rather than struggling against them.
NOTE THAT THIS IS AN ONLINE EVENT. If you would like an in-person event at the Ardantane campus, we are holding an Imbolc celebration. Information for that event will be posted soon.
