World Labyrinth Day 2026

Find Peace and Renewal in the Woodland

World Labyrinth Day - May 2nd

Visit our Labyrinths, and explore the Outdoor Classroom!

Just a few days ahead of our official 2026 season start (May 6), we will once again be open on Saturday May 2nd 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 New Hampshire that can be visited by the public. Petals in the Pines offers two unique woodland labyrinths--see descriptions below.

World Labyrinth Day (WLD) admission: $7 per person (infants are free) or FREE with the purchase of a 2026 Season Pass 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. Register and pay on the Farm Stand Porch when you arrive. You can also shop there for leaf stone bird baths, Swedish Almond Cakes (traditional and chocolate!), eggs, excellent bug head-nets, local products, and more!

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.

We participate in WLD to highlight the healing power of quietly spending time in woodlands, gardens, and meadows--especially during times of upheaval and displacement. In our fast-changing and confusing world, many people find clarity, peace, and renewal in quiet rhythmic practices such as yoga, tai chi, or labyrinth walking.

Activities offered on May 2nd included with Admission or a Season Pass:

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

SPECIAL OPTIONAL ACTIVITIES:

A) NATURE JOURNALING WORKSHOP from 9:30-10:30 AM 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. If you register in advance (below), you'll save $2/person off the regular $7 Petals in the Pines admission charge (sorry--no additional savings for Season Pass Holders).

Space is limited.

B) YOGA KIDS & ADULTS with Angelina Moody

Angelina is offering these special Yoga sessions by donation (collected when you participate).

Yoga for Young Kids (Ages 4 and up)

11-11:30am (please arrive by 10:45)

Hop, stretch, and bloom! We will buzz like bees, sway like flowers, and explore playful poses through stories, breath, and imagination.

All Levels Yoga for Teens & Adults

11:45-12:45pm (please arrive by 11:30)

A gentle, meditative flow inspired by the winding path of the labyrinth. Move with breath, turn inward, and return to center with a sense of calm and clarity.

Angelina is a 200-hour certified yoga teacher with additional trainings in Restorative Yoga, Yoga Nidra, Prenatal Yoga and Reiki 1 and 2. She creates supportive spaces that blend movement, breath, and deep rest.

Labyrinth Descriptions

We have two woodland labyrinths at Petals in the Pines—away from the sights, scents, buzzing, and activity of the gardens and pollinator meadow.

These sacred spaces in the woods allow guests to achieve a transformative inward focus, to enter into a spiritual connection to pray or seek direction (listening for the “still, small voice” of God), or simply to slow down enough to notice the small miracles of nature all around them.

The first, located high above Hayward Brook (a 3/4-mile round-trip hike), is called “Love and Grace”—a modified 7-circuit Chartres-type medieval labyrinth, with a forest peat path lined with pasture stones, and custom designed with separate entrance and exit (so more than one visitor can walk it at the same time without having to step off of the path). The center of the labyrinth is in the form of a heart.

The second, the “Peace” labyrinth, located in our shady hemlock grove, offers an activity space for quiet family-friendly focusing. Listening to the sounds of water, wind, or birdcalls, while slowly walking the winding labyrinth’s path among the trees, will provide a soothing and comfortable break for kids and caretakers, all while heightening a sense of wonder.

Both labyrinths are marked on our Interpretive Trail Guide/Map (available in a black box on the wall of the Farm Stand Porch after you check in), which will help you navigate our 2+ miles of trails and pathways.
