RiverLink Announces Opening Ceremony of Community Labyrinth

RiverLink invites the community to participate in an opening ceremony of the newly created Cotton Mill Labyrinth on Riverside Drive.  The Labyrinth was built for people of all religious traditions to use for meditation and prayer.  The multi-denominational opening ceremony will be held November 13th at 2:00pm at RiverLink's old cotton mill site in the Rivers Arts District.  The ceremony will begin with a introduction from RiverLink's Karen Cragnolin on the history and importance of the Cotton Mill site, followed by blessings from the community's religious leaders.  At the end of the ceremony, the public will be invited to walk the labyrinth.  The event coincides with the River Arts District Studio Stroll, which takes place both Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m.,and is open to the public.   Parking will be available across the street at the Sculpture Plaza.

Since 1987 we have engaged in simultaneous efforts to address water quality concerns throughout the French Broad River basin, expand public opportunities for access and recreation, and spearhead the economic revitalization of Asheville's dilapidated riverfront district.
