To celebrate the 70th anniversary of St. John's in Montclair, work has begun on the creation of a Labyrinth on our campus. To learn more, read the letter introducing the project here.
A Labyrinth is a spiritual pathway where members and visitors can prayerfully seek healing, strength and guidance. To learn more about Labyrinths, listen to the sermon accompanying the introduction letter here.

As we move towards the projected completion of September 26, 2022, we will be exploring the history, the practice and the rewards of walking a Labyrinth.

What is a Labyrinth?
The labyrinth is a walking meditation, a path of prayer and an archetypal blueprint where psyche meets Spirit. It has a path that leads from the outer edge in a circuitous way to the center. The labyrinth is not a maze. There are no tricks to it and no dead ends. Unlike a maze where you lose your way, the labyrinth is a spiritual tool that can help you find your way. Labyrinths invite intuitive pattern seeking. To enter a labyrinth is to choose to enter a spiritual path. Walking the Labyrinth quiets the mind, opens the heart and grounds the body. Some people find answers to questions long asked, some find healing, creativity, or a sense of wholeness. What will you find on your labyrinth journey?
