The Labyrinth

The labyrinth is a repetitive and curving circular walkway. Different from a maze, there is only one way in and then back out, so you can’t get lost. Walking the labyrinth’s contained circuit uses the right brain, and draws on our creative and intuitive side. It is a very unique experience.

Labyrinth Ceremonies

Labyrinths have been found all over the world throughout history: laid in marble in churches, created from stones in fields, mowed into tall grasses, painted on canvas, drawn in sand. Today, people visit labyrinths in their nearby area, or create or rent them for special occasions.

Some people have experienced great waves of emotion while in the labyrinth, while others simply enjoy concentrating on the walk itself. It is a beautiful way to slow down a bit and find some moments of peace.

And labyrinths are wonderful places for ceremonies! If you would like to design a labyrinth ceremony, contact me so we can brainstorm about the best way to use the process for you.

People walk the labyrinth in a quiet form of meditation, or dance it in celebration, or follow each other through it in thoughtful community, or enter it as a personal journey. Renewals of vows, weddings, new beginnings and healing events can all be beautifully designed to work with the moving power of the labyrinth.
