Join Sr. Elena Almendarez as she provides guidance and direction to “Walk the Labyrinth”. Since it may be cold outside, participants will be able to navigate an indoor replica of the Labyrinth in the Kearns Spirituality Center Conference Room.
The labyrinth is an ancient, sacred symbol found in many religious traditions throughout the world. During the Middle Ages, labyrinths were prominent in numerous cathedrals in Europe, where Christians walked floor labyrinths or traced their fingers along the carved ridges of wall labyrinths.
Sr. Elena Almendarez
Sr. Elena Almendarez, CDP, MA has been a Sister of Divine Providence for many years and ministered in the fields of education, parish ministry, and foster care. Sister Elena has served as a director at Roche University and Kearns Spirituality Center. Last fall, she became the Executive Director for Mission Integration and the University’s Chief Mission Officer. She looks forward to hosting programs and creating opportunities for lifelong learners, LRU staff, faculty, and students, and the greater community to connect deeper to LRU’s mission.
In addition, Sr. Elena has been an “obsessed” loom knitter for the past five years and loom knitted casually before that. She thinks loom knitting is fun and can be as easy or as complicated as a knitter chooses to make it.
