MSIA Global Ministers Monthly Meeting at Peace Awareness Labyrinth, Los Angeles

At the Peace Awareness Labyrinth and Gardens in Los Angeles, the MSIA Global Ministers Meeting offers a two-hour monthly gathering that mixes chanting, conversation, and a gentle labyrinth walk amid spring gardens. Located at 3500 West Adams Boulevard, Los Angeles CA 90018, this event brings ministers and students together for communal practice, a complimentary lunch, and the rare chance to meet John Morton in person if he is able to attend. The meeting opens with guided chanting led by MSIA Global Ministers, then moves into small-group connection and a slow pilgrimage through the labyrinth—a designed walking meditation set among cultivated beds of ornamental and native plantings. The gardens, refreshed in spring, provide an urban green space that stands out amid South Los Angeles’s streets: it’s less about dramatic geology than intentional landscape, calming sightlines, and the structural geometry of the labyrinth itself. For visitors who appreciate contemplative outdoor experiences, the site functions as a quiet outdoor studio, where sunlight through leaves and the measured rhythm of steps replace the roar of the city. Attendance is complimentary for both in-person and online participants, but in-person spaces require pre-registration. The meeting is scheduled for two hours and includes a complimentary lunch for those who attend on-site. Spanish translation is provided simultaneously, widening access for Los Angeles’s bilingual community. Important practical notes: parking on-site is limited and street parking is available; arrive early to secure a space. Participants must be MSIA Ministers in Good Standing and maintain required subscriptions; contact [email protected] or +1 (323) 737-4055 for renewals. Why come? This meeting is a distinct point of access to the city’s spiritual landscape—an organized, high-touch gathering centered in a cultivated outdoor room rather than a hiking trail or park. For ministers visiting from out of town, it’s a concentrated way to connect with local practitioners, participate in ritual practice in a well-tended garden, and sample a communal lunch with colleagues. The presence of senior figures like John Morton adds an uncommon immediacy for followers. Bring comfortable walking shoes, a refillable water bottle, and layers for changing coastal weather. The meeting’s pace favors reflection over exertion, so good walking mobility is all that’s required. Whether you come to chant, walk the labyrinth, or meet other ministers, this monthly meeting frames Los Angeles’s urban outdoors as ground for spiritual practice and community. Plan to arrive 15–20 minutes early to check in at the Peace Awareness Labyrinth and Gardens welcome area; staff will confirm registrations and point you toward the labyrinth entrance and lunch area. Public transit options serve nearby corridors, and rideshare drop-offs are used when parking fills. Because the gathering is intentionally low-impact, please avoid single-use plastics and leave the plant beds undisturbed during visit.
