Gather around the sacred geometry of the Labyrinth

and experience a centuries-old spiritual practice.

Walking the Walking the LabyrinthLabyrinth

One class, one hour, recommended once per catalogue

Unlike a maze, which has many dead ends and wrong choices designed to trick the mind, a labyrinth is a design with a single winding, unobstructed path from the outside to the center.

When walking the Labyrinth you get the impression of going on a long journey

with lots of twists and turns, getting closer then farther away before finally

reaching your destination.

Gain peace and engage mystery for personal and spiritual renewal.
