On May 3, 2025, the 'Awapuhi Labyrinth in Hawaii Paradise Park will host a special event to mark World Labyrinth Day, focusing on the theme of “Creating Peaceful Paths.” The day begins at 11:30 AM with a circle share, where participants will discuss building resilience in their lives and communities. At 1:00 PM, a global tradition takes place with a labyrinth walk, uniting participants around the world to walk “as one” for peace. The walk will be accompanied by live music from Deborah Masterson of Rhythm Full Circle. This event offers an opportunity for community connection and personal reflection, while also introducing Christy Hart Smith, one of the new labyrinth caretakers.
