On June 22nd we gathered together the Dilkusha community, family, neighbours and friends to walk the labyrinth, to celebrate the winter solstice. For many folk this was there first experience of a labyrinth. After a short introduction of what is a labyrinth everyone was invited to enter into the sacred circle and walk towards the centre to light a candle. The children who attended fitted happily into a rhythm of joyfulness, and playfully followed the path to the centre. Adults walk some linked hand in hand, bonds of friendship winding their way along the circles of the path. Others still walked in their own silence. We waited until sunset, warmed by the fire of our firepit.......the candlelit labyrinth illuminating the pathways.
After this time of walking a meal of soup and bread was shared at the Antcliff household. The candles kept the labyrinth glowing for some hours into the night. Some folk returned to walk in the silence.
