About this event
At Well Body and Birth, we believe that birth is more than a moment, it's a sacred journey, filled with strength, transformation, and the deep support of community. Now, we invite you to help us build a space that honors that journey in a lasting and beautiful way.
Build the Path. Honor the Journey. Support Community Birth.
We’re installing a labyrinth, a space for reflection, healing, and celebration, and we need your help to build it. Each brick in the labyrinth will be hand-decorated by members of our community, symbolizing the shared walk we all take through life’s transitions.
Labyrinths are ancient symbols of journey and transformation. You may not always know the path ahead, but if you keep moving forward, you will arrive stronger, wiser, and renewed. In birth, that journey is powerful:
- The walk in represents labor.
- The center represents the moments of birth.
- The walk out symbolizes recovery and stepping into parenthood.
Your Participation Means:
- Purchase and Decorate a Brick When you purchase a brick, you're not just contributing funds, you’re placing your own heart and creativity into a sacred space. Each brick becomes a permanent part of the labyrinth, symbolizing your commitment to supporting safe, community-based birth options outside the hospital for low-risk families.
- Make It Personal After you decorate your brick, you'll also make a keepsake canvas print of your design to take home as a reminder of the part you played in building this meaningful place.
- Support Local Artists At the event, local muralists will be there to connect with you and draw on your art and ideas as they develop their artistic vision for the center of the labyrinth.
This is more than a fundraiser, it’s an experience of connection, creativity, and collective care. Together, we're not only building a labyrinth. We’re creating a community of support, empowerment, and transformation for families and future generations.
Let’s build a labyrinth together, brick by brick, stroke by stroke, heart by heart, as we honor the path of transformation: in birth, in art, and in community.
Join us. Walk with us. Build something that lasts.
