Labyrinth walking is an ancient form of contemplative practice, used in a variety of cultures and faith traditions. The labyrinth invites you to walk a concentric walking path that leads to a central focal point, rich in various symbolic meanings.  There are no tricks in a labyrinth, no dead-ends or choices to make… just space to quiet the mind, check in with your body, and open yourself to the meaning that surrounds you at all times.
