We are once again able to serve the community from the Mobile Loaves and Fishes truck. The ML&F truck will deliver only pre-bagged meals. No drinks, clothing or spiritual items will be on the truck. A full team won’t be necessary, 2-3 volunteers should be enough. Our date for taking meals out continues to be the second Saturday of the month. We ask that no one who is at high risk for Covid go out.

Labyrinth Meditation for Healing – Labyrinth Meditation for Living
by Maureen White Eagle
by Maureen White Eagle
I have been intrigued by the labyrinth that we cross as we enter our church building. As small groups are now permitted to meet at the church, I am interested in facilitating a small group in a labyrinth meditation, and I am wondering if others might be interested in participating. A couple of questions appear at the end of the article. If you are interested, please respond to them so that a meditation that meets your interests and needs can be developed.
I see the labyrinth as a tool for centering mind and spirit in a meditation. I envision that the small group (5-7 people) would meet surrounding the labyrinth and each person in the group would walk the labyrinth focusing on one or two questions related to healing or living. As one person walks the others would be focused on prayer or quiet contemplation. All would be given a chance to walk and meditate. After all participants have walked the labyrinth, a group discussion would take place – this might be outside surrounding the labyrinth or inside the building in a socially distanced circle, depending upon weather and traffic noise.
The Labyrinth Meditation for Healing could be for those who seek to heal mind, body, or spirit. It could be someone who is dealing with a chronic disease, facing surgery, supporting others in illness, or simply wanting to find peace in this troubled time.
The Labyrinth Meditation for Living focuses on life as a sacred journey. It is a journey dealing with change, hardships, joy, discovery, and transformation. Where are you on that journey and how are you dealing with the challenges of life?
If there is interest in either of these meditations, I would set up a convenient time, beginning after November 9th. Let me know if you are interested in either of these meditations by emailing me at maureen.whiteeagle@peaceausting.org and answer the following questions.
What meditation are you interested in?
What time of the day works for you (assuming it would be M-F)? Early morning, Late Morning, Noon, Evening.
Are you interested in a one-time mediation or a regular monthly meditation?
