Labyrinth Walks

We sponsor periodic labyrinth walks using a 40 foot in diameter labyrinth painted on canvas.A labyrinth is an ancient walking meditation that was revived in this country by the Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, under the leadership of The Reverend Dr. Lauren Artress, in the 1990’s.In the quote below she explains what a labyrinth is and its significance for spirituality.

“The labyrinth pattern is an archetypal form found all over the world.It dates back thousands of years.No one knows who created any of the labyrinth forms, but we do know from experience that embedded within each design is a pattern that somehow quiets our deep inner being so we can hear our own wisdom and the wisdom attempting to reach us.Whether walked or traced in sand, the labyrinth pattern is a powerful tool for reflection, meditation, realignment, and a deeper knowledge of the Self.(from:The Sand Labyrinth, by Lauren Artress, pg. 1)
