Labyrinth

The New Streams Team has purchased a large (36' diameter) portable canvas labyrinth similar to the one in this photo. It is available for New Streams events and for IGRC local churches/ministries to borrow. You can find a video and text introduction to the spiritual practice of walking a labyrinth here.
