Labyrinths are ancient patterns found in many cultures around the world, dating back 5,000 years. Inclusive of all religious traditions (while at the same time devoid of dogmatic symbolism), labyrinths serve as metaphors for unity and wholeness. Our shared labyrinth walk will give participants of all faiths an opportunity to embody the theme "Pathways for Peace."
The message of Sikhism is contained within the sacred writings of the Gurus, forever enshrined in the Sikh scripture, Guru Granth Sahib Ji. This seminar is aimed at sharing the interfaith principles enshrined within the Holy Scripture. Remarkably, it is a perfect example of interfaith principles with the inclusion of the writings of Hindu and Muslim saints. It explores how these universal principles can be used to foster worldwide peace.
