A labyrinth is a tool for prayer, a walking meditation. It is an ancient design, which has been found in all religious traditions in various forms, its history spans the globe as well as thousands of years.

A labyrinth is a pattern, usually a large circle, with a single winding path that you walk to the center and then walk the same path back out. There is no right or wrong way to walk the labyrinth. Unlike a maze, it offers no tricks, puzzles or dead ends. This sacred path a sacred circle simply leads to a deeper connection to God, others, and ourselves.

Walking the labyrinth may take anywhere from a few minutes or more than an hour, depending on your pace. Feel free to walk at your own speed. If others are walking the labyrinth at the same time, you may pass them or let them pass you.
