First Unitarian Church of Pittsburgh is located on the corner of Ellsworth and Morewood Avenues in the Shadyside neighborhood. On Saturday, May 2nd, a temporary labyrinth, created with assistance from Lars Howlett, www.DiscoverLabyrinths.com will be located on the church lawn on the Ellsworth Ave. side.* It will be an “open walk” which means you can join anytime between 12:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. Meditative music will be provided by Susan Spangler and David Bennett of Joy Street!

Come experience walking on an ancient archetype. When we walk and listen to our breath, we relax and move meditatively. The labyrinth is a one way walk into a center and back out on the same path. Lauren Artress, founder of Veriditas www.veriditas.org writes, “ The labyrinth is a living portal into the unseen world of flow. Step by step, the thinking mind slowly yields, and body remembers its innate intelligence. Breath become rhythm. ….In the labyrinth, flow is not something you force. It is something you return to, a current alive inside you.”

*Please note that there are stairs on the Ellsworth Ave side. The accessible entrance to the church is located on 605 Morewood Ave. The sidewalk by the church parking pad leads to the doors of the Garden Lobby. Handicapped parking is also offered on Morewood Ave.
