A week ahead of its official Mother’s Day weekend season start (May 10), Petals in the
Pines will be open on Saturday May 3 from 9am-6pm as a participating site for “World Labyrinth Day” (WLD).
This special day focuses on connecting people of all faiths (or none) to the beauty and peace of labyrinth
walking near where they live. There are less than 40 labyrinths in NH that can be visited by the public; only a
handful are participating in World Labyrinth Day this year.

Our theme for the day is "Peace Amidst Chaos." WLD admission: $7 per person (infants are free) or FREE
with a 2025 Season Pass bought on or before that day. WLD includes both labyrinths, 2+ miles of trails/paths,
plus use of the Arbor Day-certified Outdoor Classroom / play-space / picnic area.

Activities offered on May 3rd include:
* Self-guided sketching, painting, and poetry-writing opportunities. We'll provide supplies
but you can bring your own if you like.
* Finger labyrinths for kids
* Mandala-making with natural materials
* Shopping on the Farm Stand Porch: labyrinth jewelry, leaf stone bird baths, Swedish Almond Cakes,
bug head-nets, and more!

SPECIAL OPTIONAL ACTIVITY: Nature Journaling from 2-3 PM with instructor Heidi Colburn, a certified
Nature Journal Educator. Join us for a fun and engaging introductory workshop. Nature journaling is a great
way to spark curiosity and deepen your connection with nature using just a pen or pencil and a notebook. This
practice has been found to have positive physical, emotional, and environmental impacts! This event is open to
all ages. We will be outside for an hour, so dress appropriately. Heidi will teach you about nature journaling and
how to begin. You'll also have time to practice. Bring your own journal and writing/drawing implements. There
will be nature journals available for sale the day of the event.

The Nature Journaling Workshop is $10/person. Space is limited. If you register in advance, (use "Register
Here For Workshop" button at https://petalsinthepines.com/world-labyrinth-day) you'll save $2/person off the
regular $7 Petals in the Pines admission charge.

Petals in the Pines offers two unique woodland labyrinths. “Love and Grace” is a Medieval-type stone labyrinth
high above Hayward Brook (a 3/4-mile round-trip hike), custom designed with separate entrance and exit (so
that more than one visitor can walk it at the same time without having to step off the path). The “Peace”
labyrinth, located amongst shady hemlocks, offers quiet family-friendly focusing.

Hike at your own risk--watch out for slippery rocks! Sturdy shoes are recommended. The trails are NOT
suitable for strollers; Please leave pets AT HOME. Register and pay on the Farm Stand Porch when you arrive
