Poetry in the Labyrinth w/ Kenyon Review

February 24, 1 p.m.

Labyrinths are symbols rich in meaning from many different spiritual practices, and walking a labyrinth is used as a metaphor for taking a spiritual journey to our center. As we walk a labyrinth, moving ever closer to its center, we travel inward to our center. With guided writing exercises and poetry packets for inspiration, we encourage writers of all levels to bring a notebook and walk The Labyrinth at the BFEC. Meet at the parking lot for the Kokosing Gap Trail (bike path).
