Walk as One for Peace on World Labyrinth Day

Asbury Park, NJ — On Saturday, May 2, 2026, thousands of people will participate in the eighteenth annual World Labyrinth Day as a moving meditation for peace and celebration of the labyrinth experience. Whether you are familiar with labyrinths or new to the idea of non-maze labyrinth paths, all are welcome to learn more and take part.

World Labyrinth Day is an international event held on the first Saturday each May, sponsored by The Labyrinth Society in collaboration with partner organizations including the Australian Labyrinth Network, Legacy Labyrinth Project, and Veriditas.

The Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Atonement located at 308 First Ave will be hosting a labyrinth walk.  You are invited to come at anytime from 1pm to 4pm.

In case of rain the labyrinth will be inside in the fellowship room.

Labyrinths are found throughout the world with the oldest dating back thousands of years. In contemporary use, labyrinths provide an opportunity for personal reflection, spiritual practice, or the reduction of stress in many different public and private settings. Over 6,000 labyrinths are listed on the

World-Wide Labyrinth Locator website: labyrinthlocator.com.

The first World Labyrinth Day was celebrated in 2009 and included events in New Zealand, Hong Kong, the United States, and many other locations. The Labyrinth Society Global Group on Facebook, created in tandem with World Labyrinth Day, has since grown to over 25,000 members from 100 different countries, with steady use throughout the year and a peak in activity every year around World Labyrinth

Day. Visit worldlabyrinthday.org for more information, resources, and ways to participate.

The Labyrinth Society is a U.S.-based international nonprofit organization founded in 1998 whose mission is to support all those who create, maintain, and use labyrinths, and to serve the global community by providing education, networking, and opportunities to experience transformation.
