A labyrinth helps direct one’s focus toward God. Unlike a maze, which has dead ends and the possibility of getting lost, a labyrinth is a single path that winds from the outer edge in a circuitous way to the center.  This path sometimes takes unexpected twists and turns as we walk. In this way, it resembles the journey of life.  A labyrinth is used for walking meditation.

Labyrinths are used worldwide as a way to quiet the mind, calm anxieties, recover balance in life, enhance creativity, encourage meditation, insight, and a way to get closer to God.
