MEDITATION LABYRINTH

Meditation Labyrinth

Walking a Sacred Path 

Our labyrinth was a gift from Dr. Bill Milligan. Although, Bill has now joined the saints in Heaven, his gift lives on to enrich the spiritual lives of all those who walk the sacred path.

Our labyrinth is a replica of the labyrinth inlaid in the floor of the Chartres Cathedral in France around the year 1200 AD. Labyrinths inlaid in the floors of European cathedrals are thought to have provided a way for the faithful to make a symbolic pilgrimage to the Holy City, Jerusalem. In recent years, walking the labyrinth has been rediscovered as a meditation tool connecting and integrating body, mind and spirit. It is used for prayer and meditation and as a metaphor for our spiritual journey.

What is the Labyrinth?

A lot of people confuse labyrinths and mazes, but they’re very different. The labyrinth is not designed to confuse the participant. There are no tricks or dead ends. It is designed to quiet the mind and lead the walker in a winding route to the center. The center of our labyrinth also includes seating for additional meditation and contemplation once you reach the center. By the same route, you return to the exit. Walking the labyrinth can be…
—A path to prayer
—A time of renewal and release
—To quiet the mind
—To evoke images, dreams or memories
—To ask an important life question

Where is the Labyrinth located?

Our labyrinth is located behind the Sanctuary. The best way to access it is to walk between the Worship Center and the Activity Center.

When can I walk the Labyrinth?

Our labyrinth is open to the public year round during daylight hours.
