Our cookouts are a wonderful opportunity to connect with residents, build relationships, and celebrate the diversity of Lynn.

“Tides of Love” — A Beach Labyrinth Experience (Free)
2024-08-25 10:00 - 11:00
Join us in creating a labyrinth with “Labyrinth Lady” Ricia Fleming on August 25, 2024 at 10am on King’s Beach. This beach has been the focus of much concern for years, and we want to bring healing and grateful energy to it.
Have you ever created or walked a labyrinth? It is a unique spiritual experience. Labyrinth walking is an ancient practice used by many different faiths for spiritual centering, contemplation, and prayer. It is a form of active meditation. Entering the serpentine path of a labyrinth, you walk slowly while quieting your mind and focusing on a spiritual question or prayer.
All are welcome! Hosted by the Unitarian Universalist Church of Greater Lynn and our community partner, Save King’s Beach.
Things to know:
-King’s Beach is located at 153 Lynn Shore Drive (right across from the Christian Scientist Church). We will gather on the end of the beach near Red Rock Park.
-Bring a stick to help inscribe the path.
-Sandals are highly recommended.
