It is one of the oldest contemplative tools used for centuries for
prayer, ritual, initiation, personal and spiritual growth. It is said
to have been in existence for 3500 years.
• A circular path
leads to the center and back out again. It is not a maze. There are no
dead ends. You can always see the center. The labyrinth gently leads
you to the center no matter how many turns you negotiate.
• It
is a sacred space that allows you to take a breath, connect with your
body, your soul and your heart. Turning inward allows the mind to relax.

The style is a seven circuit Cretan Labyrinth, 80 feet in diameter with
3 foot walking paths that are accessible for people with physical
challenges.
• The paths correspond to the chakras or energy
centers in the body. They are numbered starting with the outside path
as number one and continue to the center. The walk starts at the
3(Solar Plexus), 2(Belly), 1(Root), 4(Heart), 7(Crown), 6(Brow), and
ends with the 5(Crown).
An outdoor circle of stones, built by Gathering
members in June 2003, is a place to connect with the Earth’s energy,
where you can access deep intuitive guidance, send energy to the Earth
and receive its peaceful blessings. If you need healing or know someone
who needs healing, we encourage you to walk the Sacred Earth Wheel.
