An ancient prayer practice finds a home in Central Minnesota
Funded by Dr. Mike Mosleth’s children, the permanent labyrinth serves as a walking meditation space inspired by Chartres Cathedral for community healing and prayer.
- First Congregational Church installed a permanent labyrinth funded by Amanda Choudary and Tim Mosleth, who requested it be permanent and accessible to the community.
- About four years ago, the congregation began by borrowing a canvas labyrinth for Ash Wednesday, which they then opened for community walking.
- Removing asbestos and installing new flooring required in the basement floor before Lisa Moriarty of Stillwater, connected to The Labyrinth Society, painted the design in about two and a half days.
- Completed ahead of schedule by the third week in October, the installation challenges church leaders to make the labyrinth center accessible for embodied walking prayer to the congregation and wider Alexandria community.
- Patterned after Chartres Cathedral, the design links medieval pilgrimage to Mike Mosleth's holistic healing interests, making First Congregational Church a lasting spiritual memorial.
