DOMINICAN CENTER
Located at Dominican Convent, 175 Route 340, Sparkill NY, Dominican Center offers programs which foster a contemplative attitude toward all of life and encourage a common search for the Mystery Who is God. We join with all people who seek to heal the violence which deprives both humans and the natural environment of the dignity and freedom intended by our Creator.
Labyrinth
Make a spiritual journey by walking the Labyrinth,
a single path leading to a center and out again.
The Labyrinth is based on the circle, the universal symbol for wholeness and unity.
We welcome those who wish to walk this mysterious winding path
as a way of deepening their relationship with God and of gaining clarity for their lives. Because of the possibility of some pre-scheduled function,
let us know your plans for an individual or group walk ahead of time.

T'ai Chi Chih®: A Moving Meditation

and related health benefits, the centering aspects of T'ai Chi Chih
