Nanaimo, BC’s Bethlehem Centre presents Walk as One at One Saturday, May 4th, 2019 at 1:00 PM at 2371 Arbot Road on World Labyrinth Day 2019. Join over 5,000 people all across the globe taking steps for peace with, 'Walking as One at One,' in the afternoon. Last year in 2018, there were One at One walk participants in over 35 countries. The community labyrinth walk is hosted by Holly Carnegie-Letcher. The community event is open to the public, with all welcome to attend.

All over the globe simultaneously, communities will be walking labyrinths at 1 pm joining in peaceful worldwide harmony and unity. Well-known Nanaimo labyrinth author Carol Matthews will introduce participants as host to the Godden Finger Labyrinth Collection. Bring your comfortable walking shoes for a peaceful day of reflection and unity.

Langley, BC’s late Bill Godden crafted over 3000 finger labyrinths. His interest in labyrinths began in his 70’s and continued until his death at age 91 on March 7th, 2016. Godden selflessly donated each of his finger labyrinths to others at no cost. The beautifully crafted wooden labyrinths are distributed all over the world in various countries. Open to the public in the beautiful woodlands located on Westwood Lake at Bethlehem Centre, the Godden Labyrinth Collection is also worth visiting for some reflective in-the-moment meditation.

Since 430 BC, labyrinths have been based upon a single path that always returns to the center. Walking the labyrinth is indeed a centering, calming experience that offers a tranquil meditation in motion, always returning to the balanced center. Labyrinths are thought to enhance right brain activity and can be useful for problem-solving, conflict resolution, meditation, and modern-day pilgrimage.
