Walking as One: Join the Global Wave of Peace at the Portal of Intention

On Saturday, May 2nd, 2026, a silent but powerful movement will sweep across the globe. From ancient stone paths in Europe to modern garden circuits in suburban backyards, thousands of people will step onto labyrinths at 1:00 PM local time. 

This is World Labyrinth Day, a day dedicated to "Walking as One at 1" to create a rolling wave of peaceful energy that circles the entire planet.

I am honored to invite you to a very special, private celebration of this day at the Portal of Intention, located on my private property in Sycamore, IL. This is more than just a walk; it is an intimate gathering designed to help you add your unique vibration to this global tapestry of peace.

What is World Labyrinth Day?

World Labyrinth Day is an annual event that brings people together to walk a labyrinth—a single, winding path that leads to a center and back out again. Unlike a maze, which is designed to make you lose your way, a labyrinth is designed to help you find your way.The "Walk as One at 1" initiative creates a continuous 24-hour cycle of prayer and meditation as people in every time zone enter their respective labyrinths at 1:00 PM. 

If you cannot join us in Sycamore, I encourage you to find an event near you by visiting the official World Labyrinth Day website at https://www.worldlabyrinthday.org.

The Portal of Intention Experience

At the Portal of Intention, we treat the labyrinth as a sacred, intimate space for deep reflection. Because of the unique energy of this specific site, we will be conducting a one-at-a-time sequential walk.This format is special because it allows every participant to experience the "portal" in complete presence, without the distraction of others on the path. 

While one person walks, the rest of our community gathers to hold a powerful meditative space of support. We call this "holding the perimeter", anchoring the energy for those currently on their journey, which makes the individual experience even more profound.

The Ritual of the Drum

To guide our transitions and maintain the sacred atmosphere, we will incorporate The Ritual of the Drum. As each person completes their journey through the labyrinth, they will pass a ceremonial drum to the next walker. This physical hand-off of intention serves as a signal that the path is ready for the next soul to begin their transformation.

While you wait for your turn to walk, you are encouraged to bring a chair and gather around our fire space. There will be drumming around the fire to maintain the collective focus and support the "Walk as One" movement.

Event Schedule: The Flow of the Afternoon

To ensure we are all centered and ready for the global 1:00 PM start, we will follow this schedule:

  • 12:00 PM | Arrival & Sacred Space Opening: Arrive early to settle into the energy and meet your fellow community members.
  • 12:30 PM | Instructions & Intention Setting: We will gather to center ourselves, receive instructions on the walk, and "plant the seeds" of our individual intentions.
  • 1:00 PM | The Global Walk: We begin our sequential walks exactly at 1:00 PM, syncing our footsteps with the worldwide movement.
  • 2:00 PM | Integration & Community: Once the final walk is complete, we will gather for a circle of integration, sharing, and connection.

Who is This Event For?

This gathering is for anyone seeking peace, clarity, or a deeper connection to themselves and the world. Whether you are a long-time labyrinth walker or this is your very first time stepping onto a path, you are welcome here. It is for those who believe that individual intention, when joined with a global community, can create a tangible shift in the world's energy.How to ParticipateBecause this is a private residence and we want to ensure everyone has ample time for their individual walk, space is strictly limited.
