"How to Mourn AND Organize," a project of WAYS OF PEACE, has begun to offer contemplative interfaith walks through the 9/11 commemorative labyrinth in downtown Manhattan.
We will offer our next labyrinth walk on Sunday, October 27th at 4:00 pm to commemorate the first year since the 2018 Pittsburgh synagogue attack. Our NYC walk will mark the hour before the day's final "Remember. Repair. Together." gathering in Pittsburgh.
A labyrinth fosters mindfulness that how we walk is integral to where we are going. As we follow the winding path together, we will bear witness to the shattering AND the resilience of our communities near and far — and recommit ourselves to the still, small voices of peace. LEARN MORE
The walk will take place rain or shine. PLEASE REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE BY SATURDAY 10/26 to confirm your participation and get directions. Space is limited due to Parks Department regulations, and the labyrinth can be challenging to locate within the park.
Emerging from the 9/11/01 disaster relief — and gathering momentum since the 2016 elections — "How to Mourn AND Organize" brings together the timeless wisdom of prophets, sages, activists and artists in dialogue with contemporary best practices for responding to hate speech and violence.
