Wanderings that Matter

What is a Labyrinth?

Peace, calm, spiritual….a labyrinth is a meandering path with a singular path leading to a center. Labyrinths are ancient dating back 4,000 years or more, used symbolically, as a walking meditation, choreographed dance, or site of rituals and ceremony, among other things. Labyrinths are tools for personal, psychological and spiritual transformation, also thought to enhance right-brain activity. Labyrinths evoke metaphor, sacred geometry, spiritual pilgrimage, religious practice, mindfulness, environmental art, and community building.
