LABYRINTH

"Your life is a sacred journey. And it is about change, growth, discovery, movement, transformation, continuously expanding your vision of what is possible, stretching your soul, learning to see clearly and deeply, listening to your intuition, taking courageous challenges at every step along the way. You are on the path...exactly where you are meant to be right now...and from here, you can only go forward, shaping your life story into a magnificent tale of triumph, of healing, of courage, of beauty, of wisdom, of power, of dignity, and of love."

- Caroline Adams

Labyrinths have been traced to the cradle of Western civilization in the Mediterranean. The famous classic seven-circuit, of which this one at Cedar Hill Enrichment Center is a replica, has been found on coins from Knossos, Crete, three centuries before the birth of Christ. The labyrinth is a spiritual tool meant to awaken us to the deep rhythm that unites us to ourselves and to the Light that calls from within. Labyrinths have long been used as meditation and prayer tools. An ancient symbol that relates to wholeness, it combines the imagery of the circle and the spiral into a meandering but purposeful path. We invite you to walk our labyrinth and to join us for special walks that celebrate the solstices an lunar events, such as full moons. There is no right or wrong way to walk a labyrinth, you only need enter and follow the path in front of you. Most people find it helpful to focus on an intention as they enter and walk. Notice the rocks in the labyrinth, their shapes and colors; the trees and grass; the sky. As you exit the labyrinth, turn and face the entrance giving an acknowledgment such as a prayerful bow or nod, a thank you, "Amen" or Namaste. Walk a labyrinth as often as you can. The more a labyrinth is walked, the more powerful it becomes as a symbol of transformation. You can visit the following websites for more information on labyrinths:
