365 Club Daily Walkers: Making the Commitment
Walking and journaling. Walking and journaling. Walking and journaling. Listening. Connecting. Learning. Is it a different journey each day when the foot first falls on the labyrinth’s path or a finger starts its circuitous tracing? What would it be like to walk a labyrinth every day for a year?
The Labyrinth Society offers a unique opportunity—connecting with others of like heart on a daily basis through the 365 Club. This is a dedicated group of labyrinth enthusiasts committed to walking a labyrinth every day for a year. As of February 2004, there were 129 members, growing from 70 members in Atlanta when the group was initially formed in 2001.
The majority of comments from daily walkers have been that the labyrinth helps them feel more centered and brings clarity to life issues. Some are reporting that the labyrinth seems to have become a part of their being—bringing a sense of peace to all aspects of their lives. The overall consensus is that whether walkers are choosing to fulfill the 365 Club daily commitment or not, all are receiving enlightening messages about their individual life journeys. To many, the labyrinth is a valuable spiritual tool—those familiar with its energies see this as truth. Many of the 365 Club believe that walking a labyrinth on a daily basis is a deepening commitment to spiritual development in their daily lives.
“Solvitur ambulando – It is solved by walking.”
