Labyrinth walk: Unity Spiritual Center Westlake, 23855 Detroit Road, will host its annual Summer Solstice Community Labyrinth Walk from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. June 21. This community-focused event invites members, friends, and guests to enjoy the labyrinth as a sacred way to welcome the summer season. This will be an opportunity to clear the mind, experience peace, receive inner guidance in healing, deepen self-awareness and empower creativity. Make sure you wear comfortable shoes and apparel befitting the weather. Come alone or bring a friend. Advance registration is available online at www.uscwestlake. org. A $10 love offering is suggested for this event. At 90 feet in diameter, Unity Spiritual Center Westlake’s outdoor labyrinth is the largest in Ohio. The labyrinth has a single circuitous path that spirals into its center. When you walk the path, you will use the same path to return. The entrance becomes the exit. There are three stages to the walk; releasing on the way in; receiving in the center; and taking back out to the world that which you received. The path is in full view which allows you to be quiet and to focus internally. Unity welcomes people of all faiths to perform this walking meditation anytime. For more information about events, classes and other services which are available at Unity Spiritual Center Westlake, contact Roberta McLaughlin at unityinfo@uscwestlake.org, 440-835-0400 or visit www.uscwestlake.org.
