Through the inner quiet of contemplative walking may we find peaceful solutions to our personal and planetary problems.
"It is solved in the walking"
St. Augustine
The labyrinth is an evocative tool. It works through the imagination of the senses, creating an awareness of how we relate to ourselves, to others, and to all that is Sacred
Suggestions for Walking the Labyrinth
*Receptivity: Upon entering, you may ask a question or simply note where you are in life then enter in a quiet open mind called gracious attention
*Reflection: Upon arriving in the center listen quietly with all your senses for your inner nature and to outer nature
*Renewal: As you exit consider the gift, action or attitude you will bring forward into the world
