What is the Labyrinth?
The labyrinth is a blessing to anyone who enters in.
Labyrinths can be found worldwide and in all manner of settings, from forested gardens, to hospitals to churches and parks. Individuals use walking labyrinths, finger labyrinths, or downloaded apps.
To come upon a labyrinth and walk without knowing, can be beautiful...to walk with a facilitator that has put years of dedication into training & learning can be profoundly life-changing.
Within the labyrinth, you may discover profound moments to literally unearth your true self and your path through this life. Sometimes we must just be still enough inside to listen to the Breath of Spirit. Discover yourSELF within the labyrinth.
Walk the pathways towards the center...the center of YOU, the Divine, your Intention.
The myriad blessings and wisdom of the labyrinth unfold for you, each time you walk.
The journey through life is sacred, this is recognized in various ways through many cultures. The labyrinth is an ancient spiritual tool, a symbolic design that serves as a metaphor for the journey.
Dating over 4000 years old, the earliest discoveries of labyrinths have been unearthed in pottery shards and carvings in stone.
A labyrinth is not a maze, which is meant to challenge, to be 'deciphered', with dead ends and wrong turns. A labyrinth is simply a circular path that leads to the center and offers the return on the same path back out again. You 'find' yourself rather tan getting lost.
The labyrinth provides a natural movement through it's pathways, inspiring a similar natural movement through life itself. Everything that the labyrinth represents, and everything one discovers on its path, is often reflected in one's life.
The wisdom invokes the Triads of Release, Receive, Return
OR
Remember, Reclaim, Renew.
Empowering every walk.

"The Labyrinth literally reintroduces the experience of walking a clearly defined path. This reminds us that there is a path, a process that brings us to unity, to the center of our beings. In the simple act of walking,
the soul finds solace and peace."
~Lauren Artress
