St. Philip's in the Hills Episcopal Church is planning two special events centered on its meditation labyrinth.
"Full-moon" walks will be held Monday and Nov. 28. The evenings will begin at 7 p.m. with a brief introduction to labyrinths and a presentation on how to get the most out of your walk, followed by walking the labyrinth.
Afterward participants may gather to discuss and share their experiences. They are invited to bring a mug to join in a soup supper. In case of rain, the labyrinth walks are canceled.
St. Philip's nine-circuit octagonal labyrinth, built in the style of the labyrinth at Cathedrale Notre-Dame d'Amiens, France, was completed and blessed by St. Philip's bishop in April.
Now that fall weather has arrived, everyone is invited to visit, walk the labyrinth, and enjoy the serenity of the plaza to the south of the church, where the labyrinth is located.

Labyrinths predate Christianity and are found in many major religious traditions and cultures. People often discover that the mindful exercise of walking the labyrinth path quiets their minds, helps them feel centered or grounded and reconnects them to their spiritual nature.
Walking the labyrinth is not strenuous. It can be walked at a pace that suits one's physical and spiritual needs. Walking the labyrinth contemplatively takes about 20 minutes.
St. Philip's is at 4440 N. Campbell Ave., at East River Road. Parking is available in the north parking lot or under the solar covered parking structure on the east side. The office phone is 299-6421.
