What's Happening

August 15, 2025, Adrian, Michigan – For the past 25 years, Weber Retreat and Conference Center has offered a special place for people to find peace, calm, and awareness in its outdoor walking labyrinth. 

All are invited to gather with Sisters Kathleen Schanz, OP, and Esther Kennedy, OP, to walk peace and hope into our world from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. Saturday, September 13, 2025. The event is free and open to all. No registration is required. 

Labyrinths have been used throughout the centuries to help people become centered and prayerful. The labyrinth is not a maze but includes one meandering path from the periphery to the center and back again. There is no wrong way to walk a labyrinth, but one suggestion is to quiet your mind, soul, and body during the walk to the center, spend some reflection time in the center, and walk out again with a renewed and refreshed spirit.

Weber Center is on the campus of the Adrian Dominican Sisters Motherhouse, Adrian, Michigan. On East Siena Heights Drive, turn into the driveway between Adrian Rea Literacy Center and the solar panel-covered carport. Follow the signs to Weber Center. For information, call the Weber Center at 517-266-4000.
