This two-part virtual retreat is led by author, speaker, founder of Mothering Spirit, and friend of C21, Laura Kelly Fanucci.

What if we could journey through the Triduum in a whole new way this year, guided by the wisdom of the labyrinth? We’ll walk through each day of Holy Week, finding God in new places from Palm Sunday through Easter. Join us to learn how the labyrinth can lead us into the center of Christ’s suffering, death, and resurrection.
