Help Build the Samhain Labyrinth

Samhain marks the end of the harvest and the beginning of winter: a time to slow down, reflect and let go. To mark this seasonal turning point, we’re building a labyrinth together at Yarn.

Labyrinths have appeared across cultures for thousands of years. Unlike a maze, a labyrinth has one winding path to its centre and back out. Walking it gives you space to quiet your thoughts and turn inward.

Taryn McHenry will introduce the idea behind Yarn’s three-circuit labyrinth before we build and open it together. We’ll finish with tea and cake.

All materials are provided, but feel free to bring your own stones, crystals, or evergreen plant materials to add to the labyrinth build.
