Walking the labyrinth can be a personal practice that quiets and clears the mind, opens the heart and grounds the body. It can be a guide for centering, healing, spiritual growth, a tool for building community, an agent for global peace. It may also just be a nice, quiet walk in the park.
The design chosen for the Chatham Labyrinth is a replica of the 11-circuit medieval labyrinth found in the floor of Chartres Cathedral in France. Everything is in proportion to everything else which helps create harmony and fluid energy.
