The First Universalist Society in Franklin (FUSF) — 262 Chestnut Street, Franklin, MA — will host a New Year’s Eve Labyrinth Walk on Sunday, December 31st, from 5 – 7pm. This annual, free, event offers an opportunity to experience both an outdoor labyrinth in our pine grove, and a candlelit labyrinth in our sanctuary. Finger labyrinths will be available for people who want to experience the labyrinth but have mobility issues. 

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. Labyrinths are located in both public and private settings and vary in style. The FUSF outdoor labyrinth is a Classical Labyrinth, while our indoor labyrinth is a Chartres Labyrinth. 

Please allow at least 30 minutes to walk the indoor labyrinth. It should take slightly less time to walk the outdoor one.  Socks are required for the indoor walk.  Booties that cover footwear will be provided for those who need shoes to walk. 

Call Judy at 508-769-6664 for more information about the New Year’s Labyrinth event. In the event of a storm, or unsafe driving conditions, the walk will be canceled, and a notice will be posted to the FUSF Facebook page.  For more information about the First Universalist Society in Franklin please visit FUSF.org or call 508-528-5348.
